Jim sets aside his empty mug and takes a long, deep breath. He'd been set to be annoyed. Even angry at this turn of events. And then the god had to go and keep talking.
This is what I do, this is what I am.
Would Jim not do whatever he could to protect his crew? Moreover, would Felix not do these things to protect Stratos' interests? Hasn't he already? It doesn't make a lot of sense for a God to be so worried about a single mortal but maybe the Gods have more to fear from ordinary humans in Loki's world than on Nirn. His own world, godless as it is, gives Jim nothing to compare any of this to.
"I'm not going to punch you. It'd be an asshole thing to do and since you're a god what good would it do even if I did, except potentially piss you off and make an enemy out of a man I can't even begin to understand the dangers of?" The captain sighs. Pinches the bridge of his nose where he feels a headache building just behind his eyes.
"You had reason to doubt me, and no one's been hurt because of this. I've got no reason to be mad."
NOTHING TO SEE HERE MOVE ALONG
