Well, that certainly bleeds the concentration right out of Horatio.
It still feels just a hair bold to meet the older man's gaze, but the lieutenant's eyes snap to the commodore's in an instant. Perhaps it's a painfully small thing, to have this man's undivided attention for a few lingering moments--but God, the wicked little places in his heart utterly crave it.
Breaking his concentration does immediately bring his foot down onto James's. Happily, the abject horror of complete embarrassment over it is sufficient distraction to stop him from saying anything painfully ridiculous. "--hm."
