Jimmy had just finished drinking the biggest glass of water he's ever had, and now he just wants to sleep again but Scott won't let him as Lizzie and Joel have to see him awake for whatever reason. As if thinking of those two Lizzie walks right in and Joel right behind her.
"Jimmy, oh, thank oceans, you're awake!" Lizzie says while quickly running over to Jimmy and pulling him into the biggest hug he's had in a while.
"Yeah, I'm awake." Jimmy can feel himself being close to tears. He can also feel Lizzie's worry for him, and he feels awful about it. He glances over to Joel, who looks just as worried but hasn't said anything just yet.
"Joel, I see you, come over here!" He calls to Joel while making a grabby hand at him.
Joel seems a bit startled by the grabby hands, but he quickly makes his way over and hugs his brother-in-law. It's a tight yet comforting hug to Jimmy, who felt like he's going to cry any moment now but he didn't want to make everyone worry more so he did his best to hold it in.
"Jim, you know you need to be careful about stuff. If your sister lost you, she'd drown everything." Joel whispers the last part to Jimmy it was a bit of a joke, but he was telling the truth, Lizzie would probably drown most coastal kingdoms.
"Yeah.. I do need to be more careful." Jimmy sighs and looks at the ground and closes his eyes.
"I'm just glad you're safe, Jimmy, but please be careful." Lizzie pipes up and gently pats Jimmy's side, and she smiles down at him.
"Yeah, me too. Um, can I have another glass of water?" Jimmy asks as he looks up at Scott.
"Oh yeah, um sure." Scott said while taking Jimmy's cup and taking it to the sink. Scott is trying really hard not to be in the way of the family that's currently in his home. He's nervous to possibly upset someone or say something else that could cause the others to not like him for it. There's just been too much stress for everyone, especially with his demon sibling still on the loose.
Scott quietly watches Lizzie worry over Jimmy while Joel tries to calm his wife down, Joel would pat Lizzie's side or hold her hand, and Scott wished he had a relationship like that with someone. A caring husband who made sure he was ok would be nice. Scott watched for a while song the care that they all had for another while Scott felt like a stranger in his own home, but he soon enough came over with the water for Jimmy. "Jimmy, here's your water." Scott gave Jimmy the water, and Jimmy smiled up at Scott, his eyes thinking, and Scott couldn't help but smile back.
"Thanks, Scott. You know you can sit with all of us and not all the over there, right?" Jimmy suggested.
"Oh, sure? You all are family, and I shouldn't really step in and stuff..." Scott tries to shuffle away, but Joel blocks him from doing so.
"Nope, Scott, you should stay. You are taking care of big man Jim here, so you should sit for a while." Joel insisted.
"Ah, hmm, alright." Scott mumbled.
