Erik giggled in silent invisibility, too amused by Norrington's anger to be angry enough himself to become corporeal. He hated Norrington, of course, on principle. But at the moment he was content to watch the man fight his battles for him.
Then Richard said the l-word.
"HA!"
((Yes, that's meant to be audible))

"...he's here," Richard groaned.

Damn right he's here.
Erik flickered then, fitfully, and pointed at Richard.
"You have Erik's permission to kill him," Erik said to Norrington. "Erik would do so himself, but he seems to be incapacitated at the moment. And he recognizes there is a greater good that precludes the pleasure of doing so himself."

"I'm sure Megan would be pleased to see this. Not so very different, are we-"

Erik blinked at Richard.
"Erik... and you?" he said incredulously.

"I meant we in the most detached sense," Richard groaned. "Meaning you."

James groaned at the appearance of Erik, this wasn't making it any easier "If Megan ever found out" he said through his teeth "it would break her heart."
He continued staring at Richard, ignoring the fact that Erik was nearby.

"What, you think I lured Pina to sin or some such nonsense?"

James threw up his hands, he knew it wasn't true, in his heart he knew, but at that moment, he was far to angry to think otherwise.
"I don't know, I don't know!" He swung around "How would you feel, Richard, old boy how would you feel if you discovered that I was somehow-" he twirled his hands around looking for an appropriate word "-involved with your daughter, tell me would you just accept it, pat me on the back and say, good job old man, snog away?!"

"...come to think of it, that's exactly what I did!" Richard shot back, realizing guiltily that he hadn't thought of Katherine in years but trying not to show it.

James shook his head disapprovingly "I can not believe you Richard, I simply can not" he fought back the urge to cold cock his once best friend, to do exactly as Erik had said, it was the part of James he never understood. The urge to simply fight, for the sake of fighting.
But this was more than that, this was for the honor of his step daughter... whether she liked it or not.

"It was Katherine's decision to make!" Richard barked, his mind almost completely off the subject at hand.

"If you were a better father you would have stopped her."

"You've been in the role for all of three hours and already you lecture me?" he retorted arrogantly.

James didn't respond, he simply balled his fists as his sides, praying that someone else would do what he so desperately wanted to do.
