James lets Horatio guide him. For some reason, the way Horatio's fingers tug him gently but earnestly towards the seats make his heart skip a beat, but he ignores it. There's nothing more to read into it, nothing more to say than Horatio is being a good host.
It's nice to sit with him on something more comfortable than the mats in the training room, and although it's the same sort of sofa in the apartment he is staying in- this one seems nicer. Maybe it's because he gets to sit on it with Horatio, and not Cutler.
It's hard not to smile at Horatio, even when they're talking about this. It's not a pleasant subject. But being with Horatio is nice, every second of it should be cherished.
"I have been thinking about it, believe me." He says, settling close to Horatio. He knows Horatio's attention isn't wholly on him, but watching for Simpson is a good idea. He doesn't much want to be overheard.
"I want you to get away as fast as you can. Let me deal with the... the start. Cutler and Simpson may not work together, but I can not allow them the opportunity to do so. If I can offer a distraction to them both, and stop them following you to a suitable hiding place, I think that would give you the best start."
