"Of course," Felix says instantly. The auxiliary's stroking Jim's back, ignoring whatever looks Yolande may be giving him at this scene. She's actually trying to frown into the distance instead, while Celann leans on his kneed and looks sympathetic. "Where else would you go?"
And Stratos... Stratos is just watching, trying to decide what to make of this. He feels like it would be weird enough as an adult, to see his brother showing this kind of care and affection to a kid. Seeing it right now... it's kind of disorienting. Unnerving.
"Um..." He clears his throat. "You don't have to stay here, you two. I have to talk about some stuff with Celann and Yolande. You can go rest and find some proper food. Or show Jim around the camp, if he wants."
