James waited for his team, knowing he'd test their trust in him to its limit with his announcement. If he could see another option, even after all Burton had done, he would have taken it. If he thought for one moment Burton would listen to him... but he knew Burton would not believe, would think it was some trick.

James sighed, knowing he'd have more blood on his hands but... some battles were inevitable and this showdown between them had been coming for a very long time.

Now it was finally here, James found himself relishing the commencement of hostilities.

Poor James, inevitable is such a hard word *hugs*

James might not like it, but he's a realist. He might need the hugs later.

Thanks for reading.

Very tense. At least James is ready for the showdown.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Good to know it worked. *nods* James may not want it, but he's definitely ready for the showdown.

Thanks for reading.

Lester assumes you're betting on him.

Thanks for reading.

Excellent use of the prompt - and, of course, James won't flinch from doing what he must.

Not an easy position for him to be in. Leadership is not an easy burden to bear.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Not really, but he knows he can do it. That he has to do it.

Thanks for reading.
