Uninvited | Ethan/James

Her eyes followed his movements carefully, body shifting slightly away as he sat down on her bed, though not enough for the movements to be conspicuous. What did she really have to fear? In all of her time at the Asylum she hadn’t met a single person that brought forth a true and raw fear in her like she had expected. Perhaps he was simply bored, she’d shown up at random rooms countless times during her stay here. Taking in a slow breath, she allowed herself to calm down and meet him with a sweet smile, turning on her bed to face him better.
“James,” she repeated, the name slide off of her tongue delicately. “Well it’s a pleasure, James.” She pulled one leg up onto the bed and then the other, letting them stretch out before her and rest beside his body. “Isn’t everyone an acquaintance of his? He gets around here, I’d say.” It certainly seemed to be that way, at least. “It’s short for Natasha, but that’s not really important. Why are you here? The fact that you know Landon doesn’t really give you free-reign access to my bedroom, you know.” Though the smile that she gave him might have said otherwise.
The fact that she hadn’t screamed at him to leave her room told him that she either, a) didn’t get many visitors or b) was confident (or crazy) enough to be cool with random men barging into her room. It was refreshing, especially in comparison to the dull-as-a-kitchen-knife Trina, so he’d play along for a little while. Hey, she might even enjoy it if she was nice enough. It was doubtful, but stranger things had happened.
“Hmm, there’s a lot of reasons I could be here. Maybe I’m just a nice door to door boy-scout kinda guy, here to tell you I just joined the neighborhood. Or, oh the other hand, maybe I’m an insane nutjob here to murder you.” He laughed, showing that he wasn’t actually planning on doing that. Not that he was above murder, but she hadn’t done anything to anger him enough, not yet, anyway. “Oh, it doesn’t? My mistake.” He leaned back slightly, running his fingers up calf as she stretched it out behind him. “I just couldn’t resist.”
