James' mouth curled into a half smirk, he knew what the other man was doing and didn't back down. He'd never been one to do so, even when he probably should. He gripped back, just as hard shook twice and released the irishman's hand. The guy had a damn good grip though, he had to say. "James," he greeted back. "It was my sister's idea to join the pack... She probably knows everyone better than I do." Normally, James probably would have held the handshake longer but since his issues with changing he'd tried to veer away from anything that could make him get pissed... The pain triggering the change caused wasn't worth it... Most of the time. "Looking forward to the full moon?"

Back before his problems, the full moon had been his favorite time of month... Now though, he dreaded it.
