[McCoy chuckled and rubbed at Jim's hair a little, just enough to mess it up.]
Thank you, mom. I'll remember to come tattle if someone calls me names too. But honest Jim. No one was being deliberately cruel. We just wanted different things, and he said so right off. I can't fault anyone for being honest even if there's a sting to it. It's just been a hellova long time since I put myself out there at all. Forgot how much that can take outta ya.
I'll be fine Jim, honest. It's just been a really long time since I started to do anya this stuff. It'll take a while to get comfy with it again. But I never turn down booze so I'll be there.
[It was sweet and comforting. They were all the family they had in the city and it was nice to know they had each other's back. It was also a real switch to have Jim be the one worrying. McCoy wouldn't do that to the man again.]

[Except he sort of had gotten attached, to the idea at least. And giving up on it wasn't much fun either. He was still working on that part.]

[ He doesn't know what else to offer. So he claps Bones on the shoulder. Hopefully it's been some help. ]

[ And he'll try to keep an eye out for Bones where he can. ]
