at what point do u think thomas realized that was James standing in front of him ???? flint saw thomas from behind and He Knew. But thomas looks at him a good while before he breaks out in that beautiful little laugh but wwas That when he Recognized him or ????? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I think it took a moment to decide if it was really James or someone who just looked a lot like him and then he got closer and Thomas couldn’t believe his eyes until he’d stared at him for a minute and he didn’t turn into some kind of heat mirage. After all, James has changed a lot over the years and Thomas hasn’t had a portrait to stare at, even a bad one.
