[Damian]

Nodding, Damian starts walking back towards his hotel to retrieve his belongings. There wasn't much point in staying since the impostor had been dealt with. "I'll head there immediately then. Did she say what the call for help was about?" As he spoke, a sense of foreboding fell over him. Why would the request go immediately to Penny rather than to the guild, even if it was urgent? And more importantly, why did it feel like she was being set up. "And it's good to hear the three of them are alright. I'll speak with them when I return if they beat me there."

[James]

Overhearing the care for the girl in Damian's voice, James couldn't help but wonder what was really going on. Clearly it wasn't a couples relationship. In fact, the more he thought on it, the more it seemed more like a brother sister relationship. [i]What is in this guy's past that he'd feel more like a brother to someone than he would interested?[/i] He never told anyone from Sorcerer Weekly his story, saying that was a personal question he'd rather not answer. It was something James hoped to eventually get out of the stoic man.

Then he realized that Damian was leaving, forcing him to leave the payment for his meal on the table and quickly move after him. After all, James wasn't going to get another chance like this.
