took back my heart but it's never been the same
Aaaaand there's a familiar arm and voice and finally, belatedly, face. "Been a while, James." The younger man doesn't seem to have changed at all, his attention quickly leaving you in favor of Saiden, and man, are they gonna make sex on the beach a real thing or what?
"Saiden, James. James, Saiden. Saiden's one'a Jack's crew. Saiden, don' let this one near yer ass- you'll think it's a friendly squeeze, an' then he's robbed ya blind." The humor is bright in your voice and eyes, expression easing a little from its earlier discomfort by the simple ease of familiarity. This is a life you used to fit into so well, and it feels good to step back into, chaos and flirting and all.
You glance where James indicates people dying, raising an eyebrow skeptically. "They look alive t'me. But if you're bringin' people drinks, I'll take a double'a rum." Scooting out of James' embrace, you stride forward to help Saiden cook.
And then Sam, poor soul, appears, having evidently struck out with Jack. No surprise there.
Flipping over a vegetable skewer (ew, why), you wave Sam closer. "Oy, lads- this here's Sam. He's one'uv t'grounders stayin' for the season. Sam, Saiden an' James. Only one'uv 'em bites regularly."
