At least the feller was getting settled properly and looking a bit more comfortable now. James gave his guest a smile and nod of approval as he drank down the glass and then grabbed the pitcher to refill it. "Have as much as you want, and if you want something stronger just say so. I've got plenty of hooch to spare. Beer, some moonshine, lots of tequila... some fancy shit one of the boys picked up." At least he was pretty sure the absinthe had been something Nate had brought home, but maybe it had been Ben or one of the human ranch hands he hired on occasion. It certainly wasn't anything he would have thought to pick up on his own.
"Well I'll keep an eye out for it when I go riding or hiking through the woods. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky." Or maybe he'd just sniff it out after he'd dropped the man off as a bit of a favor. Or he could have Nate do it as a bit of practice. Either way, he was sure that the phone would be easy enough to find he was sure. Not that the stranger needed to know about that. He wasn't that cute after all.
His earlier mention of booze came back to mind and James stood up, making his way to the liquor cabinet to grab the tequila and a shot glass that he poured for his guest. For himself he just took a swig from the bottle with a hissing sigh. "If you want more just say the word. And again, anything else just ask too. And since you're staying the night and won't be driving you don't have to worry your pretty head about overindulging."
James blinked, unsure why he'd bothered to mention that, and had he really used the word pretty? Hadn't meant to out loud at least, ah well. He just shrugged and acted as if it were a perfectly normal thing to do or say. "The couch is a pull out, so I can get out of your hair once you get tired and help you set that up. Until then I'm probably going to get on it and watch some shows here in a little."
He grinned as he finally got the man's name. "Well pleasure to make yer acquaintance, Keiran. And a little adventure's good for the soul every now and then. Even if it ain't good for your legs." James took another swig from the bottle at that. "Oh, shower's just down the hallway on the right whenever you're ready for it. Clean towels are in the linen closet next to it." At least he didn't offer to show him the bathroom himself. For some reason that would have felt even more.... gay.
