-he's soaked through and through, probably in a similar manner to how kyouko would've only just earlier. right. he doesn't seem too fazed by it though, and instead runs the hand currently not rested on his cane through his hair so that he can see more proper - he really does need every bit of vision he can get, alright - and calls out to kyouko. ]
Good evening! Say, would you mind lending me that linen if you're through with it? It seems as though I've become very wet!
[ he sounds kind of cheerful for someone drenched to the bone. ]

I'm done with it, but you can just get a clean and dry towel of your own too, you know. [She shrugs, taking the towel off of her.] I don't know how much this'll help.
[Look at all that hair, Break. She tried to dry her hair on this one towel, ok.]

wow, gurl, get a trim you wild animal-
-i mean... ]
There's that option as well. I think I'll take it. Where are you getting these handouts, may I ask?
[ leaning forward and resting both hands - and subsequently his weight - against the top of his cane, questioning with apparent interest. ]

At least I have both of my eyes.]
Over there. [She tosses the towel at him and makes a vague point in...another direction.] You can't miss 'em.
You new here too, then?

he takes her towel and tosses it over his own head - face and all - leaning back into the bench as he does so, kicking his feet. when he talks again it's kind of muffled due to the towel- ]
Precisely! [ he points an index finger up ] Where, oh where might you be headed though? Still exploring the dimension I take it? How much have you covered - or was it only a fruit stand?

...This guy was kind of weird, no lie.]
Nowhere in particular. [Though seeing what other kind of food they had here was pretty high on her 'to-do list' (a girl's gotta know where everything is, after all).] I found the apple and decided to people watch for a minute. It's not bad watching either, if you give it a minute.
[Ah--]
What about you? Are you going to lay there with a towel over your face?

unless it's like in a cupcake but that's an unrelated inside joke nobody reading this thread would get.
anyway. ]
Oho, people watching, is it? [ at that he sits up, pulling the towel off and tossing it beside him on the bench - CHINHANDS. this is actually something very interesting to him, and what's probably even more interesting than the people she's observed is the reason to why she's been observing them. really, how many people stop and smell the flowers? that's all figurative, of course, since most people aren't that pleasant, but - ! observing them, and picking up on their mannerisms, their secrets, their alliances - you can use people, so while they might not always be pleasant, they were indeed a valuable resource nonetheless ( ... )

tehe.]
Yeah, people watching. [SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT? She puts her hands on her hips, tilting her head slightly.
...Now that's a good question.]
Anyone. Everyone. [She straightens up, smirking.] They're pretty interesting, aren't they? It doesn't take much to read them, or at least most of them.
[A pause.]
Gotta have something to pass your time, don't you?

Is that right? [ a short chuckle ] You're an odd child - thinking about things like that.
[ and with a yawn, he-
-opts to stand up?? well, it seems as though he can walk. possibly. was that something of a twirl when he stood or was he losing his balance? no, he very well could walk! evidenced by how he still has a cane in hand but he's not really using it, securing it beneath his arm instead of against the ground. ]
Very well! I suppose you're right. I knew you weren't the type to occupy your time with only continuous eating - call it a hunch, or something. Hm, and even if I'm wrong and you do, at least you're profound enough to make it a dinner and show!
Alright then, miss, tell me this- [ and he's smiling all the while! ]
-what type of person do you think I am?
[ how good is your left eye? ]

So? At least I think about things.
[Most of the time. There were others she knew that didn't think, that just acted without thinking about what could happen...
Hm.
She watches him -- he is really interesting to to watch -- but she can't figure him out. So when he asks, she looks thoughtful. What type of person does she think he is? Obviously not a bad one; she could already tell that much.
So what was he like, really?]
You act like you're carefree, but you have something else going on, don't you? You're a watcher, like I am.
[She didn't know what that "something else" was -- she barely knew him. But the way the direction had turned gave her reason to believe that he wasn't quite as carefree as she had previously thought.
He had been able to read her, at least a little. She had picked up on his words to know that much.]

... Am I? [ a lengthy pause- ]

[ THAT'S...REALLY ALL HE HAS TO SAY ON THE MATTER - he's definitely not up for indulging her on any exacts, but she could paint a clear enough picture with only minimal information. whether she was wrong on some facts or not, it was still impressive, no? or maybe he didn't care, because he was aiming for this to begin with - he didn't need to test her capability, because he already had, and simply wanted a grand way to announce such a thing-
-but who knows, really! haha, yes, he doesn't expect anyone to be able to read him so precisely, but she at least had intuition. like he thought before - she wasn't dumb!
and for that reason, he could use her. ]

NO REALLY WHAT.
Work beneath him? Really?]
Reply
...You get the picture.]
Why would I want to work beneath you?!
[What a weirdo...]
I don't work with anyone. [Unless the situation absolutely calls for it, and this wasn't one of those times. There wasn't anyone to save this time, and...she had literally just met this guy.] Especially someone whose name I don't even know.
[Leave her be in peace ok Break?]

Why not? We're both clearly going into this fishy business entirely unawares, isn't that right? Wouldn't you see this as an opportunity of sorts? I'm not asking for your trust, that'd be silly! In fact, I encourage you to cut off all ties with me whenever I become an hindrance or fail to be of use any longer - so let's use each other!
[ a chuckle- ] Names are most certainly not important, considering I made you a proposal without knowing yours, but - I'm easily contactable on these starfish [ he pulls his own out of his pocket, waving it back and forth in demonstration ] beneath "Xerxes Break". [ a smile- ]
[ -and then he gives something of a mocking yet polite bow, since this qualified as an introduction of sorts, didn't it? anyway! ]It's a ( ... )

[She's just as stubborn, okay. While it might possibly be nice to have someone who she could use like that, but she's used to mostly being a one person show. Unless someone has something they needed to say or explicitly asked for her help, she would do it.
But to work underneath this guy...]
Kyouko Sakura. A pleasure to meet you, I guess. [She crosses her arms.] What makes you think I'd want to work with you, anyway?
