"Sod off, Sirius." James turns the sketchpad this way and that, admiring the angles of Kieren's drawing. He's quite good, that much is clear, and James would be lying if it wasn't a bit of a confidence booster. Not that he needs it, exactly, but it's nice to know that someone appreciates him, even if his best friend is a twat.
At Kieren's words his face breaks out into a grin. Kieren is clearly close with Sirius and so by default James wants to like him, but he also can't resist the urge to take a gentle shot when it's laid out so easily in front of him. "Aww, that's sweet," he says, and his tone is a little mocking, admittedly, but he means it in fun. "I'd let you hold my hand but I'm spoken for."
His curiosity threatens to win out and he wants to flick through the rest of the sketchpad, but he hands it back to Kieren instead. Sirius has collected most of the cards by now which is good because James didn't really have much of an intention to help him. "It's a good drawing. Not just because of the subject matter, though that does obviously help."
