It's a bit weird, carrying on alone, but Jim doesn't slow his pace when Verity turns her attention elsewhere, settling in to a steady trek in the indicated direction. He's half tempted to use the opportunity to ease up the pace a little and give himself a break, but then he wouldn't be pushing himself, would he? He's stubborn like that.
Still, he doesn't completely tune out to his surroundings, either, not like he would on a starship treadmill. He keeps an ear out in Verity's direction, regardless of whether he can actually hear anything she's up to, and stays alert to any other unusual sights or sounds elsewhere around him. Even if he's not a target, it certainly doesn't hurt to be vigilant, especially not after the mistakes he's made so far.
