James woke maybe an hour earlier. Enough time to have some tea and, from the sound of it, was currently in the shower. He felt pretty gross from his bender the night before and just wanted to wash that all away. He must've been in there for a little while before Eli woke because it was only a few minutes more before the water shut off. And a few minutes after that before James emerged, fully dressed in dark slacks and light blue button-down, hair still wet.

his eyes went to the bed and he smiled seeing Eli there. "You're awake. Do you want anything? Tea, something to eat?"
