James looked over to see Shadow and the two faced cat, which he finally figured out was what all the people were staring at, he smiled, and stood up, "Hold on Lunea, I'm going to say hello." he walked over to them and smiled, "Hey, if anyone is giving you trouble, tell me, I'll fix it." he told him.

Nero jumped a bit in surprise and looked up at the bull in front of him. His ears perked up a bit, "Oh, hello. Nice to meet you, Shadow. Your offer is very kind, and I am rather lonely here, but are you sure your friends won't mind?" Nero didn't notice James walking over until he spoke. "Thank you. That's very kind of you." He smiled at both of them, then perked his ears up a bit. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot my manners. My name is Nero. It's very nice to meet both of you, and thank you for being so kind."
[[FFF I haven't roleplayed in a while, sorry if this sounds off.]]

James smiled, "Oh, no problem. I just hate it when people judge others." he said. "Yeah, feel free to hang around anytime. I'm retired now." he said, with a kind smile.

Lunea walked up and looked at the wo faced cat oddly. Then smiled and thrust her hand forward. "Hi! My name's Lunea." she said flicking her tail "It's not everyday you get to meet a Janus." She giggled.

Nero smiled and bowed his head a bit. "Well, that's very kind of you. You're retired?" Nero then noticed Lunea walking over and smiled at her greeting. He shook her hand, "Pleased to meet you, Lunea. Love the hair colour."

James smiled, "Happily retired." he told him, "What about you, anything you do?" he asked, curiously.

James looked at Lunea, and sat at the table with Nero, "Well, I guess we can just sit and talk." he said.

Nero smiled a bit, "You're welcome. It suits you." Nero looked back to James. "Me? No. I'm moving to this city next month to attend college, so I figured I'd revisit this place beforehand to see if I could get a job and find a place to stay."

James nodded, "Ah, well, I can help with that." he said, "I'll take care of the room expenses for you." he looked at his watch, "Hm, it's still pretty early." he mumbled.

A look of surprise crossed Nero's faces, "Really? Wow! I don't know how I can thank you enough. But are you sure? I mean, I can pay for it . . ."

James chuckled, "Don't worry about it, you look like you need a break." he said, patting him on the shoulder, "I spent 4 years as a medic. Helping others out starts to stick with you." he looked around, and a scar on his neck became visible as he turned his head, "4 years watching people die..." he mumbled, barely audible.

Nero smiled, "Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. You were a medic? That's awesome." Nero saw the scar on James's neck and barely caught what he said next. His ears went back a little when he heard it. "The horrors of war."

James seemed a little out of it, he stared into space and looked like he was sick. He was having a flashback...
It was his last month of service, he was put in charge after the Major was injured. He was leading his platoon out of a town back to base. He wasn't expecting anything to go wrong.
He was talking to his Second in Command, John. Who was also a close friend.
"Alright, we're outside the city, let's get back to base for a couple of drinks, eh?" the Second said.
James grinned and nodded, "Yeah, I'm sick of this patrol.
He looked at a vacant car, and he tilted his head, and shrugged, the threats were reported gone, so he had the two humvees ride past.
Then it started.
There was an explosion, the humvee was tipped over and gunfire broke out. James realized he was on the ground and crawled over behind the wreck. "Open fire!" he yelled.
"Medic!" was screamed, and James stumbled over, to see his friend, laying on the ground, and was horrified to see his legs missing, "John!"
He knelt next to him, and John said, "I guess... I won't get that drink, huh?"
James had tears in his eyes, ignoring the gunfire erupting around him, "No... I'll get you out."
John chuckled weakly, he put his hand in his own shirt and yanked something loose, and pressed it into James' hand, then went limp. It was his dog tags.
James looked at the body, then he grabbed his rifle and he charged towards the enemy screaming, and firing all the rounds. He was suddenly knocked on his back and out cold.
He woke up several minutes later to the sound of helicopters' whirring and a Marine who said, "We're getting you out, sir, you're pretty banged up."
He looked at the remains of the convoy, he saw all the bodies and he yelled, "Not without John! I promised him!"
The Marine attempted to calm him, "Sir, he's gone, there's nothing you can do."
James kept struggling, "He's in shock, and denial, give him the shot." and a soldier thrust a syringe into his shoulder and James was again out cold.
"John..." he mumbled, his eyes starting to tear up, "I promised... he would make it..."

Lunea ran over to James and lightly grabbed his shoulder. "James? James, what's the matter? Are you alright??" She looked deeply into his eyes, worried about her new friend.
