James + Derek + Open
"Not bad. If you asked me last week, my answer'd be different." James settled deeper into his chair and took a sip of his drink. He debated how much to say. There was no 'short version' of what happened to his dad or the magic users in town, and any version was too depressing to get into at someone's housewarming party. "What was wrong's not wrong anymore." He scratched at his cheek with one index finger and looked over at the vampire. "What about you? How's this working out for you?" James pointed at the trailer. The new location, the lack of Penny, gave him the broad strokes of what must've gone on, but he was open to anything Derek felt like talking about, even if it was the grit you could never seem to keep out of your trailer in Searchlight.
