((OOC - Sorry, took me awhile to read all that stuff so I knew where we were.))
The younger Jim, for whatever reason, wasn't too far from where Jim had ended up, and he headed there directly. There was a mix of emotions approaching the meeting: apprehension, at the awkwardness that was assured; worry about decisions which had been discussed and perhaps reached without his input, a very unnatural feeling for him; and gratitude that Jim had answered his message and agreed to see him.
He watched the younger man for a moment before closing the distance, seeing the rising sun lend a reddish glow to hair lighter than his own, noting the abandon of his posture and position in the surf. And then he removed his own shoes and stepped forward, taking his place beside Jim, close but with enough distance between them to make no assumptions.
