[These are the times when he sits at his desk, running over code he’s been through a thousand times before, sorely missing his books.]

sunshineandsemtex liked your post: Describe Jim, as best you can, in a hundred words or less.
And suddenly that’s not boring anymore?

[I’m fairly sure that he’s more than just aware of the fact that he’s amazing. All the time, thank you.
…He never claimed to be humble.
He laughs a bit, just a quiet sound really, because he regrets absolutely nothing about just forcing his way into ‘Bastian’s space. Especially with the result. Shrugging slightly, he waits a while before he speaks, simply because he can.]

[Sighing, Jim gives up on the concept of getting anything even close to entertaining conversation out of him. Hand waving seems to be back in, judging from the dismissive flick of his fingers.]

[Glaring- how… cute. He does laugh, now, though which statement prompts it is up to you to guess, runs a hand through his hair with a sigh.

[For a split second it looks like he might laugh at ‘Bastian, might prove to be more than just mildly amused by the whole thing. Then he’s simply waving a hand, dismissing it. Things like food and sleep aren’t exactly on his radar. And ‘Bas had managed a three hour nap, which is certainly more than enough.]

[Jim waits with an air of amused tolerance: ‘Bastian tired to the point where he’s answering the wrong questions is a rather rare sight indeed.] I could say that? [Without so much as a pause, he continues into a shrug.] Boring, mostly. When’s it not?
You could, yeah. I mean, I had to stay awake for five days, which is rare. And therefore a con. But it mostly went well. [His...

[All in the name of stability. And it’s in the name of making sure his coffee doesn’t spill that Jim just sorta. Slips down until he’s not exactly leaning on ‘Bas, but definitely allowing him to help with the whole staying upright thing.

Could be fun.

[Isn’t it your job to keep track of what’s good and bad? Jim’s got more important things to think about, or something. He hums a mild agreement, then heaves himself upright, careful not to spill the coffee or move too fast, hoping to avoid the subsequent dizziness. He doesn’t, so he just speaks through it.]

[There was once a time when trying to drink things while still mostly laying flat on the floor was difficult. Due to the proclivity of Jim’s floor lazing sessions as of late though, that time’s long past.

God. Does he even recognize routine, any more? Give him a moment- much as he’s loathe to do it a single word less than whispered triggers one of the strength charms he’s been holding in reserve, allows him to straighten the rest of the way, uncurl his fingers.
