James hesitated a moment, more prepared to give him space than not, but wrapped Casper in a hug quickly. Physical affection came easily to James so he had little issue arranging them into a more comfortable position. Casper’s words made James frown as he considered them more closely. Afraid of ghosts? Bringing her mom back? It didn’t really seem to make any sense. Right up until Waverly caught his attention for a moment and then everything clicked in rapid succession. Waverly lost a parent and specifically her mother, the only “her” James would reasonably know and thus the vagueness. Said mother was dead and James clearly couldn’t see her which lead to one conclusion…

The whole “Ben” issue suddenly made a lot more sense. 

James chewed on his lip as he grappled with the idea of ghosts being real. Despite being raised in a God fearing household, he never really invested any emotional energy into it. It seemed like a lot of stuff that he could deal with another time. There was always a more pressing concern and who cared about the afterlife so early. It just wasn’t something he wasted energy on and now he was holding a man who saw these things constantly, had a dead person as a constant companion, and knew what happened after the body passed. At least to some degree. The thought was sobering and James absently ran his fingers soothingly through Casper’s hair as he stared blankly out the car. It seemed horror movies got one thing right: the dead did unintentionally prey on those who could see them if Casper’s fear was anything to go by.

Waverly dragged him out of the onsetting existential dread and he just shook his head at her once Sapphire threw whichever tantrum this was today. [color=mediumspringgreen] “I think now’s a bad time. We’ll regroup, check out the new place, and hopefully get everyone settled down.”[/color] James spoke softly, trying to avoid that line of questioning. They didn’t need another person panicking right now. [color=mediumspringgreen]“You’re safe right now Casper. We’ve got you.”[/color]
