James: 17 [Video]

[nonmetus]

Ah-- Hello there. [James is looking very, very wary, a shaky grin on his face] I, as ordered by the, ah... delectable Valerie, must now attempt-- ahh! [He winces, a little spot of blood trickling down his neck] Must manage to tell you lot exactly-- [He swallows, hard] what is going on with me. So, I shall do that, shan't I?

Well, my name is James

[OK at first she was pretty annoyed, but then she remember the experiment.]

James... are you- are you alright? You aren't still hurt, are you?

[She knows she can't ask him if he really feels that way, so she doesn't mention it. Right now she just wants to help him.]

Oh, perfectly fine, just a little twinge now that I've got that off my chest. [Attempting humor while not really wanting to look at her]

I'm... I'm sorry Val made you say that.

Did Lily know about Harry already?

[nonmetus]

...no, Harry said she didn't.

[tessenwarrior]

That's what Harry told me. Listen, if you want, need me to talk to Lily, I can, but I can back off too. This is probably going to cause you a lot of problems.

No, that's not... Look, it's not like that. We're not anything but friends anymore, no matter what we really want. Lily... I'm not sure. I don't know what she thinks of any of this yet, but mostly because she didn't know.

What we really want? [She rolls her eyes.] I'm sure she'll understand, but it'll take sometime. Not that you didn't already know that, but still. You'll figure out what to do, and I can try talking to her if you want.

We'll see... She might just think this is all bollocks anyway. Not sure what she'll think of it.

...I just have to wait, I suppose.

Good luck then.

...are you alright?

[tessenwarrior]

[WHAT? That isn't goodbye!]

Yeah. I'm fine. Why?

[nonmetus]

Ah... no reason. Just-- [He wants to say something, but he cuts himself off] Just stay that way, alright?

[Forced smile.]

I will. You too.
