No need to apologise. [He smiled and shrugged one shoulder, using his thumb to spin the ring on his right middle finger.] Maths, I actually just started my final year. And you? What do you do with your electronic reports?
[Well. Shit. Retreat, retreat… or carry on blindly, that’s fine as well. Perfecting the art of cognitive manipulation could become very useful in the future, after all. He raises an eyebrow, head tipping to the right.] It’s just a part-time thing. I have to put my way through university somehow, don’t I?

In the new classrooms? [He’s working in a school, then? But that makes no sense. He’s studying to teach maths, not work in IT… do schools even have IT? Why would he work in a school if he wasn’t a teacher, anyway? After realising that he’s spent probably far too long in silence, Jim shook his head.] I’m not the one you want to ask about that.

[There was no denying the subtle smirk, though, the momentary flash of pride that he’d managed to lie to someone who seemed to have an eye for the little things. He hooked one thumb into his belt loop, twisting the smirk into a meek smile.] there’s no bother. If there’s anything I can help with…?

[Jim nodded again, quicker this time] Absolutely. You came in right after I got back from lunch. [That sounded probable, didn’t it?]

Jim is still young. As a university student, he isn't exactly drowning in wealth. Because of this, it's just as likely that you'll see him in casual clothing (like lounge pants and a t-shirt or jeans and a v-neck) as it is that you'll see him dressed up (his favourite outfit is currently a dark blue waistcoat, a white shirt, a dark blue tie, and jeans). Especially at home or when trying not to be noticed, he tends to prefer comfort over style.

I… [His mind flashes back to the day before, to meeting himself as a child and the realisation that time wasn’t as fixed as he had been led to believe. After a moment, he nods, deciding to just roll with it.] I remember you, yeah. Did you find what you were looking for?

[He raises an eyebrow, fiddling with the watch on his wrist] Do you know me from somewhere?

[And he's back to staring intently at his tea, taking another small bite of his biscuit.] I would talk to people if they weren't mind-numbingly dull.
If I were calling you names, it would be Bill or Tiffany. I was merely describing you.

…You say that as though I have reason to care.

You’re a romantic. Brilliant. [Heavy on the sarcasm, isn’t he?]

The implications are that you’re different. That’s it.

"That would depend on your definition of nice." He does remember being eleven, though, and getting more than his fair share of abuse, so he nods. "Better than the ones you're in school with."

“Exactly,” he nods. “Not for very much longer—I’m graduating come spring. I’m only twenty-three.”

I’ve only just met you—don’t be thick.
And the implications are wrong? You said yourself that you’re different. You seem to pride yourself on it.

“Saying that you sound crazy isn’t the same as calling you crazy,” he sighs, rolling his eyes. “If I were to call you crazy, I’d be calling myself crazy. Seeing as I’m not crazy, why would I call you crazy?”
This has him rather taken aback—the thought had crossed his mind, sure, but as a career choice it never seemed very practical. “I’m attending Trinity, as a matter of fact. I take it the others are a bit… older than I am?”

I prefer interacting with a select group of people. [Rolls his eyes] The definition of freak is strange or unusual. Different.
