He simply doesn't know enough slang and casual grammar to be more loose with his words. "I wouldn't say overzealous. Just the right amount. I could do more but you won't let me."
How pesky to have someone force him to eat and sleep more than the bare minimum for survival. But Jim's smiling. He knows that his drive is not one shared by Felix. Which is probably for the best considering how unhealthy it can be for him at times.
"Yes." He confirms for Nereus but then checks his next smile at the expression the man wears. Dangerous? Well. With bandits and vampires skulking about in every curious bit of ruins that might be so. Draugr and worse. Jim nods more slowly. "Treasure is of no import to me. What I seek is knowledge and to uncover lost truths. History unearthed. The unknown discovered. I want to stand somewhere no one has been before, or unearth something lost to the ages. Compared to that, money is..." Jim shakes his head. It's laughable to think that's something he'd be interested in. But this world does use it, he remembers his economy lessons.
"A means to an end, nothing more."
