Don't believe in no-win scenarios

What, Gale? Not enjoying the view? Kirk's got a lovely spread of ass..ets on display here. Any bibliophile couldn't be blamed for taking a longing look over it all. His tube for his Maps, his journal for his mapmaking and topography sketches, field sketches, alchemy notes, general notes (there are so many loose threads of things to do, Jim has to take notes to keep it all straight in his head), his magical theory journal, and a daily journal he has been monitoring his symptoms in.

It's become clear that Jim also has a habit of scooping up pots of ink anytime they're out and about because he has a good four of them covered and set aside for use. He sits up on his heels at Gale's greeting, twisting to throw a grin over his shoulder at the camp wizard.

"Oh, these? Thank you. If you want to take a look be my guest." He scoots over a bit. "It's usually what I spend my evenings on. Working on one of these."
