He couldn't help but let out a chuckle at Adam and Kass' words, despite his own disagreement with the statement.

"Oh stop that guys, you are gonna make me blush"

And oh boy was that true, despite his rough exterior he had a sweet stop for compliments. More than once his cousins and friends used honeyed words to get him to do something stupid, now granted, most of those times he would have done so regardless but it was those little conversations that enhanced the experience.

As he sat and listened to the conversation a doubt began to drip from his brain.

The fact that people were still arriving was concerning, several scenarios could happen, maybe there was still an 'opening' for more people to drop in which, well, he would prefer not to have another person with a situation similar to Fenna on the team. Nobody deserves to be separated from their family and forced to fight in another world. There was also some worry that something could cross to their side and oh man was that a nasty thought, he just hoped that whatever was causing people to drop here (Cough, Gods, cough) would be kinder to any person from Earth.

As he was thinking Mac gave a question to the rest of the party, he listened to some of the answers as he pondered the question for a second before answering.

"I don't see why there would be a problem" He gave a small shake of the head to accompany his words "Adam has the right to it, if nothing else I am sure the Grandmaster would be happy to get another person registered on the guild" It was an interesting thought, he couldn't say he had as good of a read of the Guildmaster in comparison to her girlfriend but if there was one thing that could get Clarissa Shields to break the cold exterior was Lucinda Bottrill.

It wasn't long after that Frederick appeared with their food.

This was nice.

Recently it felt like he hadn't that much time to just hang with the rest of the entire party, maybe this was something that was lacking in his life lately. God(s) know back in Mexico he had a meal with his entire family at least once a week, and it was definitely better than eating in some seedy tavern or in the barracks where he knew at least a few people were waiting to stab him in the back out of jealou -wait a second, was that a genuine thing or was it an effect of [i]that[/i] sword?. Sudden revelations aside, he was genuinely enjoying himself.

Particularly this juice thing Freddy was offering, he especially liked the sweetne-

"Hey James... have you ever ridden a horse?  Something tells me you'd be a reckless bastard on one.  Just a hunch."

"Ha, that reminds of this one random time that I had to save my dumbass mate.  The idiot had fallen down a well."
[/quote]
"Cough, cough"

With quick motions, he hit his chest to ensure the juice went in the right direction. Then he gave the taller man a halfhearted glare, damnit he had already forgotten that ever happened, play it cool, play it cool "Oh yeah? Sounds like the kind of idiot that would steal a horse"

Nailed it.

Hearing Kass's comments he decided to start a conversation.

"I ain't no great cook but I think the flavor on these is all Freddy here" He gave praise to the man "My people tend to rely on spiced dishes most of the time so it's interesting seeing what Freddy comes up with"

An idea came to his head "Speaking of, what is your favorite dish Kass? I heard of a couple recipes since coming here and I am curious if I know your preferred one"
