"If he's had a wife before now you'd think he'd know how to trust someone a little bit and have some respect for their ability to have friends they're not screwing."
Jim's grumble is quiet and mostly under his breath. He wouldn't have even picked a fight with Zandros if the man hadn't decided all on his own Jim must be fucking Isidor just because he was surprised she'd be giving him the time of day. The captain my not like the knight but he's well versed in keeping his mouth more or less shut in diplomatic situations.
"It's not like they could know about any reason Isidor'd have for them not to match her up with the guy. We've met them." Thought at least one man would burn him at the stake for saying he was a plus one to a man at Viatorus' engagement. "They don't strike me as the open minded type when it comes to personal relationships."
He looks away from his drink and between Felix and Isidor when his fiance asks about his bruises. No way, no how is he taking off his shirt in public after everything that just went down. Oh yeah no. Jim's not seeing Isidor he just walks around half naked all the time. But Felix still looks about half a second away from snapping at Jim again and Isidor isn't turning lethal at the mention of it. God, he's so tired of damage control today. Not to mention other reasons he'd really not do this right now.
"Can it...wait? It's not that bad--" Even as he's saying it Jim knows he's said the wrong thing. Much as it irks him to have people fussing over him he also knows his track record for trying to brush off injuries as not a big deal is kind of on him. He relents and tugs up the left side of his shirt just a little so Felix can take a peek if he insists.
