For a moment, he started to loosen his hold as his eyes followed the fall of the water, daring just that little bit more to see the descent along the cliff side. Really, it was stuff you saw in pictures or on exotic planets and only sometimes back home. Definitely not in Georgia. His other hand, that had been resting on the bag at his side, shifted automatically to grip the strap as though that would give him more support for the slight sensation of dizziness as he went from looking down to out and over the distance.
Scrunching his nose a little at that slight vertigo, he finally turned his head back to Jim and let the corner of his lips rise in a half smile. "Pretty damn gorgeous." Angling his head a little, he added a little amused. "I always rolled my eyes at Romantic Era writers and their thing for nature. Guess this kinda proves there really is that sublime thing they talked about."
Stepping back, he felt his body brush against Jim's with the motion. "Worth takin' pictures of, wouldn't you think?" The smile on his lips widened just a little as he tipped his head. Opening up the satchel with his medkit, he pulled out another significantly sized box wrapped in brown paper and offered it to Jim. "They were talkin' about gift givin', saw this and thought just maybe you'd like it." It's a bit old fashioned, but he knew Jim liked classic things. And a manual SLR camera just seemed like a great gift at the time.

He just hoped Jim agreed when he opened it.
