James chuckles nervously when Davin asks if he can still read his mind and taps at his temple. When his powers had worn off, James went through some emotional ups and downs, and he had hid in his house until he felt like himself again. Because for a couple days he really really didn't, and that was in addition to the crazy part of suddenly being able to hear people's thoughts. He was actually thankful and relieved it was over.

However, there is no changing what he heard from Davin's mind. To be polite he hadn't brought the subject up because even though James could hear them they were still Davin's private thoughts. But now....

"No, it wore off a few days ago," he explains looking at him, more curiously. He glances away after a second or two. "I thought I misunderstood when I could---" He gestures at Davin for no reason. "Can I ask you something?" But he doesn't give Davin enough pause to answer. "Why do you even like me? I am not, well, fun or anything."

And Davin is very friendly and happy and easy going, and James is grumpy and his idea of fun is work. His friends even think he's no fun. They tell him so all the time.
