i feel the reason as it's leaving me

[epyonrose]

There's a number of abandoned - or conveniently empty - places in the nexus. Treize feels like very much of the nexus is curiously convenient, but while he is a man who is properly skeptical of too good to be true situations, his recon thus far has yielded only one response: Yes, really

In this curiously convenient place, tracking somebody down again can be as simple as picking a direction and walking in it - or as impossible as looking for that one specific needle in a universe made entirely of needles. It's as much about luck as it is any particular skill, which is not one of James's favourite aspects of the nexus.

Either way, whether by luck or by skill, it doesn't take James all that long to find Treize, and he's just in time for the inelegant landing. Hands in his pockets and making no secret of his presence, James squints at these goings on from a politely judged distance. "Afternoon."

Treize hears him coming, but decides not to turn around, because who knows, maybe this person is just passing through - and he's got no reason to fear attack with the field. (And with any luck he won't have to be too concerned with mortal enemies in this place any time soon.)

So when James speaks, he turns his head and offers a smile. "Afternoon. Hello, Mr. Bond. I hear you've been gossiping about me."

Yes, Pela dimed you out.

Everybody should wish for that kind of luck. (James would like that kind of luck to continue holding for him, at least.) He laughs, anyway, strolling a little closer to talk. "I wouldn't go that far."

Enough discussion to raise his interest, when she brought it up, but he's been worrying about other things. "Our mutual acquaintance thought I should hear about her new friend."

[epyonrose]

"She is rather friendly." And that is, somehow, said with complete serious and no innuendo. Treize isn't that bad, particularly around other apparently alpha men he doesn't know well. Ah, politics.

"How is the day finding you?"
