It was really too cold to be out long, though his time out was beginning to edge on just that. Maybe it was time to unwind from all the madness, more so lamenting over what was at home. Gotham, Rachel- after quite a few christmas's cooped up in an office or study before, the recent years with her at his side... he had grown used to it it seemed. The idea made his lips quirk, a chuckle escaping in a white cloud. Homesick and nearly three decades old- he wasn't sure if that was a good sign or sad.

The thinking though didn't keep him alert enough to notice the other in thought, shoulder bumping into Duo's with a start. "Ah- sorry about that." He said, turning with a sheepish look to the younger man. "Wasn't paying attention."

Oh, but, see? That's just enough to get Duo out of his little world, isn't it? He took a sharp step back, looking up at the man wide eyed before calming himself and giving the guy a solid once over. Sure, it wasn't like this guy was a freak or something like a killer clown guy.. But old habits die hard.

His first impulse was to walk away, because, really, what could he do by a guy twice his age?

"Ah.." he reached his hand out to shake. "Name's Duo Maxwell, You?"

"Duo?" Harvey asked, surprise on his features. Duo was the name of one of the buried, though this boy looked healthy, nothing like the others he had seen in the clinic. He shook the surprise and took the offered hand, shaking firmly and offering a smile.

"Harvey Dent, nice to meet you." he said, trailing off as he released the hand. "Were you... one of the kidnapped people was named Duo." he settled on. It was certainly a strange enough name not to be common.

Duo snorted a wry laugh, shaking his head, "Nah, that'd be my double, but I get where you'd get us confused. Save a few obvious differences we're pretty similar." He replies coyly, but contains his ego, somewhat.

"He's.. recovering.." He hoped.

"I've never met him myself." Harvey admitted. The only 'doubles' he had seen were Quatre and his younger... self? Alternate? Harvey was quietly thankful he had yet to meet any different 'version' as well. As interesting as it seemed he wasn't sure he was ready for that level of surreal just yet.

"They all seem to be doing well at least." Harvey said, the 'well' clearly loose in definition. "Were you one of the ones helping? Thanks, if you were. All the aid was certainly needed."

[spaceflyboy]

"He's got longer hair." Duo replied. He smiled a little, noting that this guy did, after all, seem like an alright guy. Still.. He had to think that maybe he already met.. no, he did already meet this guy.

"You're Mel's friend." he said. "Aren't ya?"

[dualfaced]

"A weighty difference." Harvey said wryly, expression turning thoughtful before a realization crossed his features.

"You're the one who let me know about Mel aren't you?" He said, putting on a sheepish smile. "Sorry I didn't realize sooner, it's been a rough few days if that's any excuse. Have you seen her since?"

[spaceflyboy]

Duo laughed a little at that, "Bout two pounds, yeah."

Mel, yeah. He nodded. "She was just.. crawling out there in the snow. I picked her up, brought her to her boyfriends.. If he is her boyfriend." he furrowed his brows at that, frowning. "Right.. yeah, that's me. And no. She's not in the talkin mood."
