[ Honestly, the fact that he's playing along is going well for him. It's not like Bones is the type to "get to know" people, certainly not his students. And Bones finds the whole practice annoying, but it must not be so annoying if he keeps asking Jim so many goddamn questions. ]

[ Bones sighs, shaking his head. Okay, he says that, but Bones is a sadist for sure. He has his kinks, outside of the medical field. No, Jim, you will not find out what those are yet. ]

I'm thinking about it. Five questions ain't a bad trade, and you've been showing off that neck like a peacock tryin' to catch a hen.

[ He licks his lips, biting on his upper lip just a bit as he looks away. Fucking kids. Jim doesn't even smell all that human, but the sound of his heartbeat and the booze in Bones' system makes for a very dangerous combination. ]

Ain't your maker gonna be pissed at you for flaunting your neck around?

[ That's 14. ]
