After the whole afternoon planning and preparing their dinner (and failing miserably), Jim was pretty damn hungry, so once he turned his attention back to the food, he took to eating it rather quickly. He hummed around one or two mouthfuls, washing it down with some lemonade, though he slowed down at Bones's question, waiting for his mouth to be empty before he spoke up.

"Staying in." That was about all he would say about it, though. Bones would just have to wait— although there shouldn't be a whole lot more waiting, now that their plates were mostly clean. He did scrape up the last bits of meat and rice, though, finishing it all up before he sat back and a little more upright.

"Oh, dinner's not over yet," he said as he stood up, picking up both their plates to take them to the kitchen. "Sit right there and wait for a bit, will ya?"
