“This might as well happen.” [ @ t.ham bc this line wasn’t on the list so i’m morally obligated to write it myself ]

“James – “ Thomas was very near to the verge of laughter, and he knew his dear lieutenant would not appreciate that, especially in light of his current – position. “How did this even happen?” He wondered, crouching down to take hold of Orpheus’ collar in order to draw the large hunting hound off the man. He didn’t bother

Eurydice – she seemed quite content in her position grooming the man’s hair, and she did have a habit of biting whenever things she had dubbed hers fell under threat. 

Has James been staring intensely and longingly at Thomas for an inappropriate length of time? Absolutely. He’s like a cat. A fidgety cat with emotional suppression issues and an inability to keep his eyes off of one (1) man. [ yknow what this could literally be any time period and any verse because THIS ASPECT OF JAMES@THOMAS NEVER CHANGES EVER ]

“Is there something on my face?” Thomas was actually beginning to grow a little disconcerted with James’ extended period of staring. In truth he had a feeling the man was thinking through something – but it was difficult for his own mind to focus when he had the sharp awareness that he was being watched so very diligently. If nothing else, at least teasing the lieutenant would provide some amusement.
