Jim is rather glad he doesn't have to push too hard on this particular point. His mood has improved a bit with the company, and his crew's quite reasonable responses to the news that not only is magic a real actual thing, but that Jim has been hopping universes in his spare time (and sometimes on duty). But had McCoy not conceded, it's quite likely that Jim's mood wouldn't last.
He's had his life controlled by others a little too long. Not just in that he's a Starfleet officer, but also all the medical hoopla he's been through these past two months, not to mention the part where no one wanted to let him prepare for the fact that he can't go home to his destroyed apartment, instead leaving him nowhere to live but the house he's hated since he was little. He needs a little space, something he can choose to do for himself without someone mother henning him to death.
And he's quite grateful that Humter has his back here.
"Perhaps it would be of reassurance to message Doctor McCoy once your journey has completed without incident," Spock suggests reasonably. He directs this not only to Jim, but Hunter as well.
