Re: Andromeda and James
James was nearly impervious to the slight awkwardness that seemed to settle over, but there was still part of him that recognized it. He supposed this was another part of what Remus said the other night. They weren't the same people now, but that didn't mean he couldn't try to make friends. It might not turn out the way he wanted but he'd have tried, right?
"She's doing better," he said quietly, trying not to dwell too much on the feelings that had taken over him when he realized she was hurt. "She should be rejoining the party momentarily, actually." He glanced around to see if she had, actually come back. She would be looking for him if she had.
