Moral support for... why would Marie need moral support?
"Nice of him." Jim brushed it off. Like it mattered. If Marie felt she needed moral support to visit him when he was injured that was her business. Weird, but definitely her business.
"Its not just you, its anyone. I'm just not used to it, thats all." He shrugged, giving her a bleary eyed, but serious look. "I take care of myself, always have."
He grinned at news of Sal and Lexi and managed a half a nod at mention of Jake. The guy was good, and Jim respected that, the half part was because Jim froze, expression cautious at mention of Neptune.
"What happened to Neptune?" Like, hospital wing, surely she was injured and thats why she was there, nothing to do with him.
Marie looked a little shocked when Jimmy said he had always taken care of himself.
"You mean you've never had anyone there for you when you needed them?" She really found that hard to believe. He had lois of friends, even if he didn't have the most supportive family.
"Judging from all the people that came to see you no one would ever guess that you didn't have anyone who cared about you."
She didn't miss his reaction to hearing Neptune's name. Of course, he automatically thinks something happened to her. Just another one to add to the list of those who worried about how
Neptune was. Than again why did this surprise her? After all that had happened she was no fool. She knew that it was Neptune that he cared about. Even aparecium could see that, as did everyone who read it.
Letting go of his hand she sat back.
"Nothing happened to Neptune." Mostly in part thanks to Matty stepping in and stopping Marie from punching the girl in the nose.
"She was here to see you... being her usual dramatic self. She thought she should get to see you first. We got in an argument. She accused me of not caring about you, that all I cared about was the status of being your girlfriend. I may have told her that at least you didn't hide the fact that I'm your girlfriend and that it was too bad we couldn't say the same about her..." Yeah, that's when the Brat started crying like a baby.
Whatever. Marie really didn't care anymore.
