A

( Dave touches down near the lake, he gives his wings a shake before pulling them around himself. The day had started out warm enough but now that the sun was going down it was starting to get a bit chilly but his wings work well enough to keep him warm.

He settles down near the shore and glances around before dumping his haul of shiny finds out. He tries not to collect too much shiny junk but sometimes he just can't help it. )

( Dave's wandering through the halls; headphones blaring in his ears as he bobs his head and makes various beatbox sounds to go along with whatever he's listening to. He's far more focused on his music than his surroundings so it's no surprise when he runs headlong into someone. He stumbles a bit, wings and tail flaring behind him as he pulls his earbuds from his ears.

Behind his dark glasses his eyes are wide with surprise as if he hadn't expected to run into anyone at all. )

Whoa. Sorry 'bout that.

You really just stole a lot of cheap junk there, didn't you?

[There's a boy with medium lenght brown hair standing a few feet above Dave, looking down at his findings with a grin on his face that implies that, no matter if he really thinks that Dave stole the things or if he approves of that or not, it really amuses just how much worthless shiny junk there is among the items. And also that he is going to try and tease the stranger about that merilessly.]

( Somehow Dave manages to keep his wings from flaring, they give no more than a twitch. Cool kids don't act surprised, after all. He hunches forward a bit over his junk haul and turns to look over at the, in his mind, intruder. Honestly, how did he not noticed him standing there when he landed? )

Didn't steal it, man. Found.

[boywhorunsthroughtime]

And where did you find it?

[You are not particularely convincing.]

[jupiterattack]

Around. ( He doesn't bother to look at the other boy as he starts sorting out his pile. Amidst the junk are some shiny wrappers, a zippo lighter, some spoons, someone's glasses, and some shiny rocks. )

[boywhorunsthroughtime]

The glasses, too?

[Going over there to crouch down next to the pile.]

[jupiterattack]

No one was wearing them. ( Thus making them fair game.]

[boywhorunsthroughtime]

Maybe they were taking a shower.

[Picking the glasses up and putting them on his nose.] How do I look?

[jupiterattack]

The glasses weren't in a bathroom. ( He says that like that makes it all right that he took them.

He stares at the other boy for a moment before shrugging. ) Like a scholarly son of a bitch? Like a man that can just walk into a lecture hall and drone on about boring things and put everyone in the room to sleep.
