Alright, so, maybe that was the wrong kind of judgment. Not that it's an unreasonable question, but it's so direct, and so sudden, that Jim can't help but tense up at it, even when the answer is expected, inevitable. Everyone in Asgard knows what happened at the cave, regardless of having been there themselves.

"Haven't we all?" He counters, but he knows that he could've been there and not died; he simply would have to be one of the people who stayed outside, waiting. He lets out a breath, nodding as he looks away. "Yes. I was inside the cave, when... Yes, I died."

Again, his mind provides, not so helpfully.
