"Holy shit."

Whether Gwen's reacting to his presence or his facial hair, her eyebrows really couldn't climb any higher.

"Hey, Gwen!"

Preston's grin is genuine. And he does not raise a hand to tug at the facial hair, which would seem to indicate a lack of self-consciousness about it!

"Keep my bass all right?"

"Rocked it to sleep every night." She looks maybe a little stunned, but tries not to miss a beat.

This is difficult when the beat in question is several weeks long.

"You're looking very ... terrorist."

"That might be racial stereotyping," Preston says.

"Do we hug, or stick to the manly shoulderpunch thing?"

bitingmybullet July 21 2008, 04:20:37 UTC

"I think it's more like tonsorial stereotyping, actually," Gwen says. "But fair enough."

She laughs.

"Uh. I think you're manly enough for the both of us right now. Get over here." She snags him for a sidehug, noting with curiosity the unusual new smells at close proximity.

Preston beams (in a totally manly way) and grabs her shoulder for a second before letting go.

The most prominent scents are fire and grass and canned sardines. Those things last a crazy long time.

"So your vote is anti-beard? Unless terrorist chic is the new look you're going for here."

"I'm not exactly the resident beard expert," Gwen admits. "That's probably Docious-- have you seen his lately? I think there's an actual bird's nest in it."

bass_line_blues July 21 2008, 04:51:28 UTC

Preston looks slightly stricken. "The things I miss! Gonna have to make it a point to catch up with Docious, get his opinion.

"Anyone else got shocking new hairstyles? Russ taking advantage of those lycanthrope genes at all?"

"Oh, yeah," Gwen says, wincing.

"He looks like a freaking Yeti by now. He's scaring the zombies."

"I knew he was a useful guy to have around," Preston says, and then pauses, a little.

"Has he, uh. I mean. Gwen - anything I should know before sticking my nose in our place?"

There's a reason he stopped by the Wasteland first.

Gwen's eyebrows arch delicately,

"Like ...?"

bass_line_blues July 22 2008, 04:18:00 UTC

Preston shrugs, rather awkwardly. "I just want to know if - you know it doesn't matter to me if Russ has been hanging around there a lot, but it's gonna matter to the wolf hormones and shit, you know?"

bitingmybullet July 22 2008, 04:54:11 UTC

Gwen groans. She'd been expecting that.

"Don't worry about it. I have no fucking clue where Russ was, but it's definitely not around our apartment."

bass_line_blues July 22 2008, 05:00:41 UTC

. . . uh-oh.

"Sorry," says Preston, wincing. "Awkward topic?"

bitingmybullet July 22 2008, 05:07:30 UTC

"Whatever," Gwen mutters.

"Do you want a drink or something? Maybe a razor?"

bass_line_blues July 22 2008, 05:13:10 UTC

"Drink would be great. Razor can probably wait until I get back to the shelter, right? The situation isn't that desperate."

Besides, the beard is a good icebreaker?
