" What am I gonna do with you, Jim ? " the woman hissed angrily. She has half a mind to outright smack him, the stunt he pulled to get them out the gate nearly costed the man his life and now she was left to patch him up with what little supplies the realms granted them. " You're an idiot. You know that ?? I could have lost you !! " // @tothearx
to say that jim hated these trials were an understatement. how the hell did he even up in here ? he didn’t even remember anymore. with how crazy his life had been these past few years, it really could have been anything. and he was trapped in a gulag for an extended period of time.
still, as much as he hated it, he was glad joyce was here. this was a shitty situation to be in, but.. . at least they both know where each other were. as shitty as that thought was. at least he knows he’ll always be there to protect joyce. that’s all that mattered to him now.
❝ who cares about all that ? ❞ he says, wincing lightly as the stings of the patch job. man, how those weapons hurt. the entity sure can make death not permanent, but that didn’t mean that the pain wasn’t real, ❝ i’ll just wake up at the campfire again anyway. ❞ that wasn’t the point, and he knows it, but -- well, hopper wasn’t always good at being reassuring. there’s a shake of his head before he continues, ❝ .. sorry i scared you like that, joyce. i’m just... i’m glad you’re okay. ❞
