Her aunt is... bizarrely welcoming. He somehow expected her to be exactly like Skip, all barbs and sharp, beautiful edges. Instead she's like every other aunt you imagine a young girl having and is all smiles when her 'lawyer friend' comes knocking. He tries not to preen at the fact that Skip has talked about him and instead follows her quietly to Skip's door.
As he enters, his eye falls directly to the canvas Skip is working on and he takes a moment just to study it because it's ... disturbing to look at. But it looks like the kind of thing that would hang in a gallery someday, and be sold to someone wealthy to hang in their foyer as a statement piece.
So technically, it's good.
His ears are good and James waits until he can hear the song finish before he speaks up in the lull between one track and the next. At that moment, he steps into her peripheral vision - taking into account the fact that she's only recently walked away from a massacre - and waves a loose hand.
"Hey."
He doesn't bother saying much else, and instead waits for her response.
