Even with the freneticness that's buzzing about, he still takes his time to check up on James all the more. This is a big day, a day he's been excited about for a very long time, but it's also one that's going to be very trying on the both of them, if he's being honest. It's the first time he's ever ridden with someone else tagging along, and it's certainly the first time James has ever been so close to a blacklister while they do their work. At least...at least he thinks that's the case. He hasn't pried into that aspect of his boyfriend's life because it always feels like such a private thing that he doesn't want to dredge up, lest it bring up any bad memories.

But his entire face lights up when James emerges from the bathroom, and there's a dopey sort of grin on his face as he bounds over and leans in to steal a quick kiss. "Look it's just- this is what I used to do all the time and it's been a while and-"

He stops himself before he starts rambling too much. "It builds up over time, yeah? And I'm really excited to share it all with you."
