Jim was actually rather surprised at the hug but somehow managed to hold in the flinch that threatened to appear. He had never been good with physical contact but he didn't want to ruin their night which had been incredibly enjoyable so far. "I'm glad to have met you too," he told her giving her a hug in return. It was awkward but it was better than nothing, right?
"I wouldn't say that, got in trouble a lot," he said with a grin. "Something about not taking no as an answer? Still I'm sure they are and in the future too. It's fun." Yeah he was stubborn, he wanted to make a name for himself and he had gotten into a lot of trouble with the partying, girls, drinking and not believing in the no-win situations that the kobayashi maru present to the Cadets. Plus a lot of them still saw him as his father's son which he hated, he wanted to be seen for who he was not for who his father was.
