Angel (offshoot of the Milliways time warp; March 1992)

Everybody's talking about fall class registration. Since Angel has every intention of just telling his advisor he won't be back, it's starting to wear a bit thin.
Clearly, the circumstances call for Central Park.

It's a good place to be at this time of year. Collins isn't in the mood to deal with his parents' latest drama -- this time not caused either directly or indirectly by him -- and is taking a walk to clear his head.

Angel's normally quite graceful. But he still nearly trips over his own heels when he notices a very familiar face, for all they only talked one night.
"Well, fancy meeting you here."

It typically takes a lot to surprise Collins. And no, the drag isn't a surprise. Angel's looking as good as he'd imagined. But the simple fact that they've met again is a surprise. A damn good one.
"Imagine that."

"Definitely beats people going on about next year's classes. How've you been?"

"Hey... having one of those days?"

It's a blond young man, pretty rather than handsome and dressed in worn, torn-at-places clothing. He's got a smile on, though, a bright and cheerful one that's rather infectuous.

"In a manner of speaking. I've had worse, in any case."

"That doesn't really help you today, though, does it?"

It's not said in a mean sort of manner, only matter-of-fact.

"Guess it has as much to do with your perspective as anything."
