James

[conqueredhearts]

The last time he'd seen this man the conversation had been sad. So he decided to find him for a more cheerful time together. Still over alcohol but there was nothing that said drinks always had to be had during mournful hours. There was always something out there to celebrate if one really knew how to look for it.

Locating him, he held up the bottle of wine that he had with a giant grin on his face. "My friend! Have you time for a drink? I recently acquired this and decided you were the man I wished to share it with!"

James looked up from where he was reading a variety of notes - getting prices on his Dragon Bone Armor was more time consuming than he realized - and gave Iskandar a bemused smile. "If that is a decent vintage, I shall make the time. As it is, I am simply working on some personal matters, so even a half-decent vintage will do."

He looked around his small office. Without Cade to act as his secretary, he had to organize himself more thoroughly. "Mugs should be on that top shelf there - let me get the desk cleaned off."

He didn't want to slosh wine on anything important, after all.

"Well the last bottle I had was quite delicious. It could probably taste better still warm and with spices but it is fine on its own too." He looked over at the shelf then went to fetch the mugs before sitting down to pour them each some of it. Well, after there was space so he wasn't putting it on papers.

"So what is it you were doing there? That is a great deal of paper for whatever it was."

"I ... am trying to find someone who can design and build me a set of dragon bone armor." James stated, as he finished putting the papers in neat piles. "For not something close to a king's ransom in gold, no less."

He offered Iskandar a seat opposite him, as he sat behind the desk once more. "What are we drinking to?"

[conqueredhearts]

"Friendship." He grinned at him and pushed one of the mugs across to James. Though he barely fit in his own chair, he still managed to make it work. He certainly wasn't complaining anyway.

"The last time we drank was a sad occasion. So I thought we should do so to happier thoughts this time."

[judgemewhole]

"Friendship - something I have no problem drinking to." He took the mug, and took one sip, savoring it. Seeing what was so grand about this vintage - ah, nice.

"I can taste faint hints of vanilla, honey, and a bit of oak ... oh well done. Perfect blend." He hummed, before he looked up at Iskandar thoughtfully. "All right, what happy thoughts do you have?"

[conqueredhearts]

He laughed at the way James identified the ingredients. "Impressive! Now I'm going to have to find more fine wines so I can see what you can taste in those as well!" It was likely to become a game if he were to be honest about this.

"Now let's see, happy thoughts... I have friends I care about here, Jim has finally come to talk to me again, my animals are in good health... My friend there is so much to feel joy over!"

James smirked faintly as he took a more generous sip, enjoying the flavor and the nice light burn down his throat. "I shall be delighted to do so - I am something of a wine enthusiast."

"Good, good, glad to hear all of that ... wait." He frowned for a moment, "Why wasn't Jim talking to you?"

[conqueredhearts]

"Hm? Ah, we have had something of a disagreement when he performed an action that wounded my heart and broke my trust. We now seem to be working to repair that which was broken between us. But for why he took time to come talk to me likely comes from his need to gather his own thoughts together first."

That was what made the most sense to him. He hadn't asked since he had meant what he'd said to his lover. "I did say I would wait for him to come to me to mend things but I would not pursue him."
