Normally, if James invited a woman into his bedroom, it was for more explicit purposes than what their agenda was for the evening, but at least he was observant enough to know that his touch was meeting with resistance. Still, he eased himself back to prop up against the pillows and stretched his legs out in front of him as she went through her mind, speaking its words out loud for the room and himself to hear. In all honesty, he was still taken aback by the fact that he had her here, in close proximity, to him again. It made his mind wander off, distracted, as he just simply drank in the vision of Lane Barnes sitting on his bed. Until his attention snapped back at him like a rubber band, making him blink and sit up straighter.<br/><br/><br/>“So I will summon Anastasia,” he started slowly, lounging even more on the bed. Now his arms extended up, tucking under the pillows behind his head, so that his torso extended out on the bed. His tee inched up with the motion, exposing the hard ridges of his midriff. “And she and I can have a heart to heart. Perhaps using Fiora as an advantage is a good thing, since Mia is already in her… care.” Amata, what were you thinking? He tried to keep his features void of any emotions, but they roiled strong and they roiled deep, pinching his expression with emotion, until he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “And from there, if I tell her that my deal has been transferred from me to the fairy bitch, hope she understands and releases me. However, since we both know that isn’t likely, then you can go in and smite her. They might very well be pitted against each other if we don’t,” he finished with a low chuckle, green eyes opening to look up at Lane.<br/><br/><br/>From there, he reached up and took her hand in his, giving it a squeeze. Then, with a deviant grin, he tugged her as a way of encouragement to lie down beside him. “Depending on how well that goes, we can go have a dinner double date with Fiora and find out what kind of deal she would want to make in exchange for Mia’s freedom. Though I still think that we should just give Fiora Anastasia and sit back with a tub of popcorn to see who wins, then take care of the winner ourselves. I highly doubt that a demoness and a sidhe are going to be friends. Do you?”
