James finished off the last of his grilled salmon and mopped up the juices with a slice of mushroom, popping it in his mouth as he leaned back to watch his fellows around the table. The Skullcleavers seemed to have accepted his presence in the Bunker without incident; a few grudgingly at first in respect of Angus' authority all those months ago, but more often of late on the craftsman's own merits.

He pulled out a notebook, partially filled with a list of Dwarven runes, phrases, and words, flipping through, running his finger down the pages in an effort to discern the cause of the disturbance. "You know, by now I really aught to have memorized more of these than I have. Should really get around to it some day."
With a burst of enthusiasm, the gondsman turned his quartz goggles to his companions. ". . .And no time like the present. Anyone happen to have a few free evenings?"
