"I didn't want to turn your stomach again when you were finally looking something other than green. Plus, I didn't want to assume your magic worked the same way Felix and Stratos' does. Seemed kind of rude to tell you you couldn't do something before you'd even got to try."

Jim gives a weak shrug from next to the Durant mage but doesn't drop his posture from where he's standing arms crossed. All he can do is hypothesize, really. He's not the one with the abilities to test any of those theories out. He only gets data to study when mages come to his world. It's not a common occurrence.
