Resigned to an evening of pretending like everything was AWESOME, Jim grinned at Lexi's bouncing arrival and even managed a crooked sort of smile for Neptune.

"Watch out for those bread rolls." He suggested to Finn, straight-faced, though he shot a sly little glance over at Emily as he said it. It was all in good fun. Heh. These guys had all missed it yes?

He shrugged. "Yeah I don't even know if my mum knows. Or at least... they probably do," His parents, "and will remember to see if I'm ok if they get home for the summer." He would have added to that, commented that he'd been actually surprised and gratified at how many people had been worried about him, but well, it wasn't as if he and Finn were alone. And it wasn't as if Jim was about to share that tidbit about himself with Lexi and Neptune right there, along with anyone else who just happened to have their ears tuned their way.

Jim ate something else without even looking at it.

Tasted bacon-y so that was good.
