( the evening after this happens, jim will find a plate filled with various fruits covered in honey and a slice of honey cake left on a tray next to a glass of some strong ale outside of his door. it's a fancier meal than the usual roll or peasant sandwich of the day he has dropped off to date. it's part pity-meal and part weird vampire instincts that have turned eddie into a house-cat getting its useless human meals when it can't hunt for itself.
only no dead birds or rats so far.
eddie's not sticking around to see that jim gets it after he knocks but it's there. someone needs a pick me up, obviously, and also keep your blood sugar up, jim dear!!! )

[It's not a long wait. Jim's shirt options are limited to three: romantic white, billowing white, and scratchy white. He's gone with billowing white, because the scratchy white is distracting. Mavis doesn't seem like the kind of person who tolerates distractions.
Everything else is standard issue, a little-too-snug linen and riding boots he managed to, well, steal while it's just them in the town. One pair among hundreds; he doubts anyone will miss them. The jacket someone might miss, but he's seen a hundred just like it, too. It's fine, and it's cold. Finders keepers, etc. ]
Okay, I'm just coming out. [Which is mostly true. He only stops briefly to lift a slice of bread to eat. It's a little stale, a little salty. Has him grimacing a little as he steps into the cold air, moving towards Mavis. ]

Nice to meet you, Mavis. [he's cordial enough; not as grumpy as he might have been two years ago about having to get dressed and roll out for a wander around town. besides, he did tell Alicent he would help.]
How far out we going? [not that he's avoiding the woods or anything. he's a grown man. he can face his fears. ]

Not to the woods.
[ an automatic response to his thoughts. mavis looks up at the sky briefly, which has a strange red-gray tinge to it. ]
I don't think we can. I have not been able to get out of the gate. But to the edge of town. If we follow the wall, we may not get lost.

Oh. [A beat; a blink of surprise. He supposes he shouldn't be, really. Not with his daughter's gifts, not with the whole hivemind here. ] Yeah, I got you.
[He thinks she means like he can hear her, but - he's never heard a thing from any of the Rubeans. Never tried to hear, either. He nods, slow. ] Are they - are they okay?

You don't know him yet? That's a shame, you'd love Good Will Hunting.
Do you want to play in a poker game with me? And some other guys.

Nobody under 40.
