"What secret?"James looked back at Jesus, innocently. But seriously, he wondered if this guy was hiding something he should know about. You know when you spot someone lying through their /teeth/, Jesus was one of those people. James had to admit, he was good. But he decided to play along with his persona and passed his reply with nothing more but a friendly greeting. "I see, well...it's too bad he didn't come along with you. I missed that little munchkin."

James would love to stay and "socialize" with the bunch, he just didn't have the energy to continue talking. He was still hungry...damn his growing needs...his stomach was gurgling up a storm. He gave a small smile back at the girl who happened to acknowledge him too. She seemed vaguely familiar. Valerie Gray, was it? Ah, she remembered her! Did she change her hair color and put on more makeup? She had an interesting sense of look. Oddly, her appearance bare resemblance to someone he used to date before.

He smirked. "Well it's nice to see you all again, we should catch up sometime yeah?" Not that he would expect them to. He was preoccupied with his own thing to continue befriending each one of them. James rather spends his precious time making business proposals to potential buyers. Time is money and it waits for noone.

James went back to his own seat and stayed silent for the rest of the ...*yawns*...speech. Oh merlin, it was really hard to stay awake just waiting for that book to call out their names either. He clapped along with the others to congratulate the chosen ones. James wondered what kind of challenges awaits them. Okay, enough pondering. Time to feast again.
