"I'm only going to be staying here until the new ship is done, so it feels like a waste to get too much stuff for the apartment. This isn't my home. Just a substitute until it's ready to go."

And while the new fleet ship is coming along beautifully, it's still a ways off from being finished. The work to restock and re-man the ship feels never ending. Jim moves around the counter and picks up one of the Nirnish books and the glass-like tablet device underneath it. Isidor has a punching bag, Jim has his alchemy studies to fall back on as an outlet and a hobby for the time being.

"Sleeping's the worst." Jim puts the book back down on the counter then and the charming host expression fades from his face. "Sleeping means dreaming and my dreams are always a shitshow. Gotta work until you're exhausted. Push yourself until you pass out and there's nothing left in you to dream. Can't go thirty six hours on the regular without sleeping anymore with Felix here but I still try."
