Yesssss. Felix gives him such a pleased smile, Jim can be assured he'll reap at least one sort of reward for his decision. The way Felix sees it, they need at least some people willing and able to help cover for him when Jim isn't there. He can't stay at his fiance's side at every moment of every day, and surely if he only stepped out of their quarters in Jim's company it would cause comment as well as inconvenience for them both. And Norn seems exactly the sort of person they need.

The look given to the comms officer is slightly more reassuring. "It's really quite safe- safer than being stuck without one, believe me. And I can show you the best places to visit... eventually."

All right, JIm, he'll show some deference to your sense of responsibility. (But if Norn doubted Felix was a secret DTA agent before, he'll rapidly determine the conjurer is more like their antithesis.)
