It had been exhausting.<br/>At any given opportunity, James had attempted to interject an ounce of<span style="font-style: italic">humanity</span>into the viewing, asking Sirius several domestic questions in between the realtor's talk of insulation material, and the acounant's mortage calculations.<br/>So, subsequently, James had lingered at the kitchen with Sirius, aimlessly looking out the window from the middle of the room.
