[Jim could only laugh at Oliver's enthusiasm as the kid spoke, and Jim made a mental note to show Oliver his card deck whenever they'd get the chance to settle down for the night. He didn't have his duel disk with him in his pack, and he highly doubted the technology to create the holograms didn't zap here with him when he arrived. Oh well, he could make due with cards - sometimes simple was more fun.]
Hahah, I suppose so. The other champions are more impressive, though. [Like O'Brien and Johan, and Am - wait, no...Amon was gone.] The ones at other schools.
[His smile faltered at the thought of the late duelist - even now, the memories of that world seemed either to haunt him or confused him further. Sometimes he doubted if his memories were correct, but that was purely wishful thinking. Luckily, he didn't have to dwell on it, instead allowing himself to pick up his steps again to where he was scuffing his boots in the dirt before.]
It's just how I've always lived, mate. But yeah, guess I do go outside a lot.
[Although he didn't know what the significance of going outside meant to Oliver; the kid seemed to stuck a bit on that point. He knew everyone had paths in life, choices to make and responsibilities to handle, but surely he wasn't that busy or prestigious of a kid? (Not that being that was necessarily a bad thing.)
Well, then again, maybe he was.]
A singer? Heh, now that's impressive to me. I can't carry a tune at all!
[On his back, Karen wholeheartedly growled her agreement.]
Haha, you're fine! :3
