James frowned deeply, unsettled both by Ginko's tone and that tingling. His eyes started flicking around again, searching for any kind of movement. What did this stranger have to gain from him sitting still? Stealing his phone? He didn't look like he had any weapons...but he was no doubt much stronger than JW.

Also he had big hands. He was going to pretend he hadn't been noticing that while Ginko had been busy working away at the algae samples.

"So, what, you wanna play Go Fish until it fucks off?"

At least he'd stopped moving. JW was trying very hard to keep his expression creased in hostility to hide the worry trying to wrinkle his brow. Were the fae in this world invisible? Even if they were closer to animals the way Ginko said, you still had to be able to see a copperhead to avoid stepping on it. He'd bite if anything stepped on him.
