'Craig,' Harrison calls him. Jim has the absurd notion that he should turn and tell Jessica that his name is Jim, but it's far too late and far too inappropriate. He takes the reins and nods his head respectfully, turning into the sunlight. It's too bright to look up, and that's why he kicks a stone out of his way, frowning.
His mood quickly takes a turn for the better, however, as he rounds the building and spies Curly trying his best to replicate Jim's knot. His best isn't good enough, a fact that likely stretches to all manner of things, Jim thinks.
"It's called a Tom fool's knot," Jim informs him, smugly, as he walks past. "You're getting the hang of it! I'll be back later to check on your work."
He can feel the glare eating into the back of his head as he begins to cool down the grey, but Jim is entirely too preoccupied with the memory of Jessica's laugh to care one way or the other.
