3rs: (maybe you'll learn something)

"I dunno. I don't think they started the high five until after the second girl. And I don't much care for high fives with them, they are not the best about washing their hands." He'd just leave it at that. Edward climbed down after Jonathan, shrugging his shoulders. "It's a game, people are. Not a game you want to play, I imagine, if that impressive sneer is anything to go by, but they can be as fun to experiment with as chemicals."

Sometimes even more volatile. Especially around these parts. He glanced at Jonathan, amused by the 'son'. "Yeah, daddy, I just crave your attention." This accent was entertaining. "I'm headed vaguely homewards now too, I wasn't gonna walk all the way back down. Besides, I live in this direction anyway."
3rs: (doubt it)

"Don't knock the Narrows before you know how to play there. Ain't so bad." Anywhere but home, at least. "Never boring." There was that too. Dangerous, likely toxic, all sort of dangers, but still. "We've got a good KFC place too."

Many would probably be more likely to consider that the only positive about the Narrows, but Edward genuinely thought there was more to it. Always something to explore, people to watch, information to gain and perhaps use. Just had to steer clear of some spots and stay out of the way of any stray bullets. "What games do you play, Jon? Colour me intrigued."

"Corvus brachyrhynchos, Corvus ossifragus, Corvuc corax, as far as corvids are concerned." Edward had so many specialised interests, he didn't wonder too much at the question. Country boy like that, probably just missed the more direct touch of nature. He turned his head to the side as the wind blew a cloud of smoke his way, holding his breath for a few. Ugh, he would never be a fan of that smell. "It's like ninety percent pigeons, but the remaining 10 percent is actually pretty diverse. You get quite a few corvids, anyhow."
3rs: (enjoy the show)

Huh. Well, that was the most interesting thing that happened to him. Edward couldn't remember being this intrigued since Echo and Query had their cocksucking conversation the other week, that had also been fascinating. Albeit in a very different way. Edward was watching Jonathan more so than whatever bird he was talking to. More and more appeal to that accent. More and more appeal to the man. "Look at you, making friends today after all."

Who'd have thought? "You always travel with seeds?" Because that was weird and he loved it. "Jonny, I know we've just met, but I'm beginning to like you." Seemed fair to tell him. "All that, the accent, the eyes and the weed? Fucking swoon."
3rs: (some days I can't stand it)

"Can do better with what? Ain't anyone else offered to be my daddy yet." Edward winked at him, then turned to watch a crow fly away, glad that Jonathan drew a line around carrying around baby chicks. That seemed a little bit too gruesome. Also quite unsanitary, impractical and, not least of all, smelly. The seeds were definitely preferable. "Anyway, I get attached to people. It's one of my... quirks."

Flaws, he supposed, but he'd stick with quirks. He didn't much like to get into how fallible he was.
3rs: (one chance)

"Eh. People say these things. See, I say that I don't do being anyone's boyfriend. Sometimes you're better off alone." He could relate to the general sentiment. Of course, he didn't actually care for being alone, pretty much ever. And while he may not be particularly good at the boyfriend thing where commitment was concerned... "If you change your mind you know where to find me."

His mind on friendship or whatever else that Edward was maybe talking about in a roundabout way. He didn't much care for speaking in a straight-forward manner, held very little interest. There was always so many layer to any conversation. Especially any conversation to the chemist kid with seeds in his pants.
3rs: (note the 'you')

"I will, actually, I got a lunch date." Of sorts, anyway. "I'm telling you, try the KFC some time. You won't regret that."

He swirled around on one foot, walking backwards a few steps so he could still keep up with Jonathan. "If you want me to listen to you, daddy-o, you've really gotta get a firmer hand. I'm a brat, can't you tell?"

He winked at him, because he might as well, then he blew him a kiss, turned, and walked off, hands in his pocket.
