[ The ambient here is nice, James is already finding himself rather satisfied with her pick for a date spot. Begrudgingly, he might just have to admit that she's really good at this and he'll have to find a way to up this now. Hm.

I absolutely do. These challenges are surprisingly fun as a pastime, I'm going to actually feel a little sad once I reach my goal and complete them all.
[ ... ah. He can't deny he deserves this, the gentle sincerity of the request. He had been making himself scarce, turning it all into a game of emotional hide-and-seek even after he'd agreed with her that they should make friends again.
It's still a little awkward and he looks more serious himself now. ]
I'm more than just considering it. Building one huge camp all the time might be a little awkward, but I'm definitely going to join you guys occasionally. We have the same travel route, it would be a waste to not hang out.
[ she says it like she was expecting him to say no. a part of her thought he would. that doesn't matter anymore, because the moment he says that he'd like to join them for the journey -- even if it's only sometimes -- her face lights up. figuratively and literally. the markings that go down her arms light up, too. he just has that effect on her, apparently. ]

[ all the other times she'd asked, she'd been more energetic, perhaps even naggy. this time, though, she sounds sincere in her intentions. calmer. ]
Even if that means just traveling within our vicinity. That's about all I can ask for, truly.
