James shuts his mouth, but he does give Sirius a look that says it's only for now. If he expects to be able to go about in Darrow with none of his embarrassing stories coming to light, he's got another thing coming. He shifts things back to presents quickly enough, which is typical Sirius anyway, so James goes along with it.
"Yes, Pads, give me my present," he instructs, taking a sip of his drink and giving his friend a wink. He doesn't know what Sirius might have gotten him on such short notice but apparently there's something after all.
Kieren looks like he's deflecting, but James is happy to let him do so if it means James is going to get a present. They were supposed to grow up and join the war effort after school and they did - Merlin help them, they did - but that doesn't mean he ever entirely lost his childish streak.
