Then I'll pick you up before the ball then?"[/color] [center][h2]James Hunt|Streets of Crocus[/h2][/center] [center][@Lunarlors34][@Cherrywitch][/center] James kept his blade even with the young woman and answered Cody evenly. [color=SteelBlue]"I was at the stadium during the end of the games. When they ended, I attempted to catch you and see if you wanted to resume training today or take it off in preparation for the ball. Unfortunately, until recently the flow of people kept me from catch up to you. And here we are."[/color] He then turned his hard gaze on the girl at hand. [color=SteelBlue]"As for you, keep your honeyed words to yourself. The magic I wield can practically smell the darkness inside you. State your true business or leave. I will not have you huring Cody further than he has already experienced if you are to be believed."[/color]
