Jim was a man on a mission and the name of that mission was Lets Get Some Cherry Pie and A Mug of Coffee - admittedly the name needed some work. He was however very focused on it, much more than he usually was on a matter so trivial but then he had been up all night tinkering and hadn't eaten since lunchtime the day before.
He was so intent on his quest that at first he didn't even notice Rusty and Pippa as he came out of the cafeteria and it was only when a comment about breaking fingers filtered through to the part of his brain not preoccupied with food that he paused and turned in their direction. It only took a second to take in Rusty's posture and that was all Jim needed to see before he was marching over there, pie entirely forgotten. "Greeting my fellow campers come inmates come guinea pigs," he said, making a point to keep his tone light as he stepped between them though it was a struggle to maintain as he saw the expression on Rusty's face. "Who wants a hug?"
