He knows the sensation well; he's felt it too many times. The perception lingers so near to death, he considers it a familiar acquaintance. A shrill whistle is all it garners from him, @awidow, ✩.

"You're a good shot, ain'tcha? That one almost got me! Myself, well I don't like to fire prematurely where I can help it."

she's amazing. arms folded, his back to the wall, james is a spectator to natalia's work. disarmed and dismantled, she'd not needed his help here any more than she had anywhere else. precise.. her footfalls are silent and he's glad for the way his mask hides a grin that betrays something said to've been kept under control. the quiet admiration that's been given too much room to spread. still, it makes it into his eyes. melts the edges of a cold stare. even once she's passed him, retrieved the disk they'd come for, and wound her way back ; " could've told me to stay home. " out of her way. unnecessary cover-fire didn't warrant his broad shadow, swallowing hers. how the soft thud of his boots fails to hide themselves when he tails her. " it wouldn't have hurt my feelings any. " let him chase sleep he rarely caught. pretend he read the book laid beside his bed. there was a stack of meditation techniques he'd planned to try and, instead.. james doesn't want to meditate right now. the hands on his rifle grip harder, a distraction to keep from reaching after her. catching a wrist.. a hand. whatever it took to stop this march to end a mission he wasn't ready to be done with.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎first instinct after a bad day ? two paths : pass out on the floor ( for back support, obviously ) or call nat. sometimes it's both, usually it's just the first option.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the smart choice, however, is always calling nat. if she answers. and if she's in town, maybe he wouldn't be stuck stitching a wound he could barely see in the mirror.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎picking the right number proved trickier, but hearing the click of the call going through was relief enough. “ hey, nat. s'me, just wanted to check in on ya. ”

" c'mon. " he spreads his hands wide, weighing the probability of the options, scales coming even ( maybe a small mea culpa sneaked in there, too ). a buck-passing smile bends itself at his lips ; charm-laden. " what's the downside? it was true once upon a time. you don't doubt my acting skills that badly, do ya? "
