The bar brawl was magnificent. It spread from the original bar (Dilan isn't sure which one that was) to three or four others, going in and out of them into something not quite a riot but not exactly not. Dilan got involved in the second bar on the trip, but managed to hold his own until the cops got there.

And he very politely sat down with his hands behind his head waiting for them to get around to him. Someone with that much facial metal (eyebrow, lip, nose), that hair, and that size tends to ping the combatant radar of everyone. Ever.

"Sounds like a plan." Dilan says, "Looks like the coast is clear, too."

Dilan can spend his time in Pokemon world thinking about how the genetics works.

"So it is." she agreed, looking up and down the path as she repacked her backpack. "Skates..." she'd apologize for half-flopping over him to reach her footwear, but, really, she didn't think he'd mind.

It wasn't, really, the Pokemon that bothered her but the human characters.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"Right." he packs the food back up while she gets her skates back on, then stands.

He's capable of ignoring plot in favour of genetics.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

She strapped her skates back on with a bit more alacrity than last time then stood. A brief glance at Dilan and she chuckled, reaching out to brush grass clippings off his back. "Do you happen to remember when the Reptile house closes?"

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"Not a clue." Dilan admits, "Guess we'll find out when we get there."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"That's helpful" she laughed, gliding a few feet down the sidewalk. "I guess we will. And if we're lucky they'll have switched to summer hours already?" otherwise they could pout at the locked door?

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan keeps pace with her, "That'd be great. If not, well. We can come back some other time."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"There is that..." she agreed, swerving just enough to bump his hip playfully "Central park will probably still be here when next we feel like coming..."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"At least unless Ienzo gets his teleporter working." That's not a joke.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"You can inform your Ienzo that if he takes away my park I will find him." she threatened soberly. "I understand scientific advancement, but leave the park out of it."

...

...

"He an have the Rockefeller center if he absolutely must."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan cracks up at that, reaching out to hold her hand.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

She let the sober mask slip for a gamine grin and tugged his hand gently. "What? I like the park! Rockefeller's main attraction is the rink outside..." she laughed.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yes'm." Dilan says, eyes sparkling.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

She looked up and stuck her tongue out at him. Really, if he thought she was joking. "I'll find you too, you know, if my parks gets damaged from a rogue experiment. You just keep that in mind." she mock threatened.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"I hear and obey." he says with a flourishing bow that neither dumps him nor pulls on her.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"See that you do..." She watched the bow with a little more than academic interest, then shook her head, grinning. "Show off" she teased.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"Shameless show off." He agrees, tossing his hair to get the dreads back behind his shoulders again.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

She helpfully tucked the few errant dreads over his shoulder for him, then gave him back her hand. "Well, nothing to be ashamed of if you pull it off." she agreed easily.

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"Nah, that's just being smug. Shameless means even if you completely fuck up you grin and keep on moving."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"Ah, I've learned something new then." she chuckled. The boys at the precinct wouldn't believe her of course, shameless there was kind of loosely defined as 'Willingly pulling dumb stunts that could land you on your ass, repeatedly'. There was still shame and embarrassment when they fucked up though!

"Aha! A bridge! We're saved from having to find a ford?"

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"I'm glad to have helped increase your store of knowledge." Dilan says mock-seriously. "Ah, sweet. Although it does rob me of the chance to manfully bear you across so you don't have to get wet."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"Thank you, teacher." she offered sweetly. "Sorry to say I'd have gotten wet anyway? You'd have been soaked, at least to the waist, and I'd lean against your side...and well.. " she shrugged. Aya wasn't incredibly romantic?

And she'd never been carried in her life. She usually managed to be in places stretchers could get to!

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"It's the principal of the thing." Dilan explains cheerfully, "All romantic and stuff."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[mitochondriaaya]

"...right. I'll take your word for it." she noted cheerfully. "I just really never say the point in perfectly healthy people being carried."

Re: Wednesday in the park

[sliceitwithwind]

"You're short." Dilan points out, "But if you're in my arms, you're kissing-height."
