It can't be that way for either of them anymore. No matter how headstrong or secretive they may be to others, Jim doesn't want those walls up between them. Can't imagine holding Felix at arm's length for most anything. He's holding his anger in check just barely because of that want. Whether Jim will give himself the credit or not he has matured in the years since they first started dating. If this argument had happened earlier, well.
They wouldn't be having a conversation so much as a shouting match and one of them--most likely Jim-- would have stormed off by now so as to avoid a very physical fight.
This is a Jim who recognizes his own mistakes more readily. One who has already faced hell itself for Felix. An argument, no matter how severe, isn't going to make Jim put Them at risk. He sucks in a breath and holds it until he feels his pulse calm down ever so slightly. Lets it out in a drawn out sigh.
"Yes. I don't know hardly anything about your conjuration. To what end you do it, how it works, why you favor it. Nothing. i'm not asking to become your apprentice or the like, but. Goddammit Felix, everything about you is important to me and I can't support you if I'm ignorant. I can't know there's another option or even a chance at one if I don't know what you can do. And for as much as I've told you about everything you ask of me, I can't understand why you hide so much from me."
