[ near the city's entrance, juuta's standing around, not doing anything in particular, just walking and looking at his seal-- with the music box he got as a souvenir from that little adventure as a damsel in distress in his hands. honestly, he'd ask for a t-shirt instead but the only thing he was wearing at the time had too much flare and frills to

[valhallicity]

[ . . . ]

voice . . . action . . . something

[valhallicity]

[ if you say so.

he makes his way down the stairs to the second floor, calling out. ]

Juuta-kun . . . !!

action...fuck titles man

[suchagoodfriend]

[ perks up and turns around to where the voice came ]

Iza-chan?

lmao seriously . . . action

[valhallicity]

[ oh, he's spotted him now, and is heading down the stairs yet again. probably a little too quickly -- but he's kind of excited. ]

Oh, good, I found you. Shall we go then?

action;

[suchagoodfriend]

[so this is izaya! juuta's looking at him so intently-- slim, short hair, no glasses . . . this isn't how a neet is supposed to look at all! ]

Hi there . . . ah.

[ oops, stops staring and slides his hands inside his pockets, rocking slowly on his heels ]

. . . well. Um. You're cuter than I imagined!

[ ...err that's always his opening phrase when he meets girls but it kinda seemed adequate now for some reason. ]

action;

[valhallicity]

[ ah. is he staring? Izaya looks right back at him but without the same intensity-- nothing about his appearance is surprising or perplexing in any way. it's about what he imagined. ]

Cute . . . ? [ not sure how to take that, no ]

What are you talking about?

[ he looked kind of shy, with that posturing and Izaya couldn't help but find it funny after their conversation about girls and relationships. yep-- all talk, definitely. ]

[suchagoodfriend]

You know. Your-- [ points to his own face and moves his hand around. "everything!"

but. he can't say that. so he stops and just smiles again. ]

Nevermind. Nice to finally meet ya. Wanna get going?

action;

[valhallicity]

[ he takes a glance down at himself reflexively, then looks back to Juuta ]

Right. Well, you look as young as you act.

[ he'll let it go but don't think he's going to forget that. ]

Let's go.

action;

[suchagoodfriend]

. . . I'll take that as a compliment.

[ not that it didn't feel like an insult, mind you. ]

So, where's the store? . . . We don't need money, right?

action;

[valhallicity]

[ sure, you do that. he's just saying you're as young looking as you are immature. it's okay-- you have an excuse to be a little bit naive still. ]

It's just about a block away. Your house key keeps track of points which they use as currency for food; it shouldn't be a problem.

action;

[suchagoodfriend]

Right, got it.

[ he usually just eats whatever his roomates bring to the house, so... ]

Do you shop there often?

[ random meaningless small talk for the road! ]

action;

[valhallicity]

Ah, yeah, it's the closest so it's the most convenient. My roommates and I all do our own shopping so there's no confusion-- Lieutenant Hawkeye likes to keep to herself anyhow. So, I've gotten used to coming pretty regularly.

[ random meaningless talk maybe but he's still got too much to say. ]

action;

[suchagoodfriend]

No kidding.

[ a female liutenant, hm? gotta keep his eyes peeled for that. ]

Are you friends with your roommates?

action;

[valhallicity]

[ yeah, as if. ]

No, we're more like acquaintances if anything. We really haven't spoken much at all.

Have you made friends with yours?

action;

[suchagoodfriend]

Oh, yeah! There's three other guys besides me there. Two of them I don't see often but Eli-chan and me are pals, I guess. I'm helping him with his love life.

This is my area of expertise. So, y'know-- [ places an arm around his shoulders ] if you have any trouble on that area at all, I'm your man.

action;

[valhallicity]

[ as much as the daggers shooting at him say he's thinking of it, he doesn't push his arm away. ]

You seem to think I have some deficiency in social situations, but I assure you-- that isn't the case. The reason that I don't have those sorts of connections is because I'm not interested in having them. Not because I couldn't obtain them if I so desired. So, I appreciate the gesture but it won't be necessary.
