James kept eating his tuna and nodding, as Rebecca spoke of evolution, only looking at her half-way during her explanation. The young man might've been rich and his family somewhat powerful before he came to the Bureau, but he was a bit out of his depth with the older women. Maybe he was looking for a guide or mentor after the Farm, the instructors there purposefully distant and harsh to prepare them for their new life. He felt a magnetism about Rebecca: older, more mature, more experienced than him. Yet, she was also easy to get along with, always a smile and an encouraging word on her lips. Or she was right from the start, she might be the big sister looking out for him. As an only-child, James didn't know what that was like, but it felt good to know someone reliable was around him.
As she mentioned Europe, his eyes darted back to her, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth, 'I'd do my best to impress, but even with your normal liver, you'd probably beat me. Body weight can't compensate for all experience with alcohol. Though, I would definitely hope neither of us would end up passed-out under a table during the outing.'
Of course, there was also the fact that Rebecca was very alluring, not least due to how she preferred to use her shapeshifter's hide. When James looked back to Rebecca, he noticed something was different. When he thought Rebecca was looking to Yara, he caught glances at her dress. He couldn't shake the feeling that her breasts looked fuller and her dress smaller than before. He didn't intend to stare, this time at Rebecca's curves instead of her face, but the neckline inevitably drew the eye there. His cheeks went slightly rosy, and if Rebecca could smell such things, he started to release certain pheromones. As he noticed himself that he was getting slightly aroused, he looked around the room again and towards Yara, though the catgirl was very alluring herself, not the best place to look to calm down.
@Tjf 'What Rebecca said, we'll help, though I would like to check-in with the boss, maybe get some more resources for it,' James nodded to Yara, as much distraction from Rebecca's curves as making conversation with their host. He blushed at little at Rebecca's comment, self-consciously scratching his brow, 'N-No, I-I didn't cry, though I am really glad to have her again. Can't wait to introduce you.' The blonde boy smiled genuinely, thinking Rebecca would probably like Jade.
