Jim watches the bearded captain curl his fingers around the recipe and he can't help but to feel proud. They've done this not once, but twice now, with this Jim and Hunter. All those years believing they were worthless and undeserving of someone else's time and affection seem far away to him now.

The barest hints of a proud smile are on his face when the younger captain looks up again.

"You're going to do fine. No matter what you decide to do for him." Because he's willing to admit he cares now. Willing and trying to put the effort in. No matter what he decides, Jim knows he'll see it through to the best of his abilities.
