Terentius has a point and besides, Jim can't imagine Stratos having to hear about this of all things through the grapevine. Bad enough Jim had to find out about it second hand from one of his own crew Felix has decided to trust over his own husband. (Suspecting why Felix might have done this doesn't make the anger simmering beneath his skin any less intense, it just takes away his outlet to unleash it.)

"I'm going to let Stratos know right away. Just...once I'm back on the ship. Otherwise he's apt to go there without me and that wouldn't be good for anyone."

Stratos, in a panic, walking around a ship he shouldn't be on. That's sure to go well. Even in gamma shift that's asking for trouble.

"He's always been lucky. I...just hope that continues to hold, Uncle." Jim forces a bit of a smile at the touch. Trying to sound confident in Bones and their staff. But if the injury affected his magic too...what could any of them do for Felix? "When he's able I'll bring him here right away to see you."
