Baby It's Cold Outside
Characters: Axel (Original) and Hokuto Umeda (Original)
Setting: East Apartments, a bar presumably nearby
Time: Backdated a few days to after this conversation.
Summary: Hokuto's newly arrived and Axel decides to be helpful and show him around. To a bar, anyway.
Warnings: Some cursing, more than likely.
Axel hadn't always been the type to be particularly helpful. Let people figure things out on their own. They were at least halfway intelligent, weren't they? But lately he'd been feeling - in a manner of speaking, anyway - a little more benevolent than usual. So if someone wanted to know a good spot to get a drink, why not show them? Heh. Maybe it was the Christmas spirit at work.
At least it wasn't hard to find the guy. Axel knew what he looked like from their talk on the digital level and besides, people from outside the city were always easier to spot. They way they moved or looked around, that off sense about them. He was a pro at noticing it by now.
So it was only a few minutes after he portal'd his way out of his apartment and down to the street that he caught sight of Hokuto. Angling himself to cut past the throngs of late Christmas shoppers and avoid the worst of the snow drifts piling up, he lifted an arm in greeting.
"Yo. Enjoying the weather we're having?"
