Felix's hands are on his arms and his plea is desperate. He couldn't let Jim relive it again. And Jim does see, even if he doesn't like it. Felix recognized the shape of the shadow that was swallowing Jim whole and took him out of it before he was lost to its depths. He's mad, yes. But Jim also understands.
Tend to the ship.
That thing Jim's been forgetting, all this time? It's smacking into him suddenly hard enough to make him suck in a sharp breath far too quickly. He has to cough at the discomfort it causes but it doesn't derail the realization that he's been missing form his ship for months at this point. Just how in the hell are they going to explain this?
"I can't believe Headquarters isn't crawling up my ass this second trying to figure out where we've been all this time. Fuck, this isn't the sort of thing we can just explain away, either..." And yet his quarters is still here intact. Tiber is still here and well fed. Neither Spock or Bones are lingering and with the hum of the engines he's sure they're heading somewhere rather than docked at a Starbase.
