BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge

[rebelseekspizza]

It was That Time Of Year again. At BWI airport, they knew well that this was not the kind of thing you wanted to be asking questions about. So when a teenage boy showed up wearing a ratty long red-and-black coat, an expression that blazed hell and a large series of bleeding scratches on his face, well, they didn't ask. About anything.

Dante didn't mind. It meant he could walk into the nice warm Portalocity lounge and crash on one of the benches. Had to sleep off the day he'd had... yesterday? Was it yesterday now? Who cared.

By the time he jerked back awake about an hour later, the scratches had vanished and his expression had gone sleepy, though the ratty coat remained. He sat up, rubbing at his eyes. Guess he wasn't alone anymore, huh? Fine, whatever. "Who knew the public still showed up for transport?"

Why hello there, equally friendly-looking teenage boy!

Dante would return your nod with a vaguely slasher-esque smile and a raise of his eyebrows. As one did, when complete strangers nodded at you.

In horror movies, sure they did.

Eggsy rolled his eyes in response, slumping back in his seat with his legs spread in typical dudebro fashion. But he at least looked amused rather than tired.

"You bored or what?" Dante asked.

He looked like he was either bored, or trying to start shit. And Dante really didn't want to get kicked out of this lounge.

"Nah, bruv. Looking forward to learning. Honest."

"Yeah, you look like a real egghead from here," Dante said. "Professor material, top grade."

Hey, if this guy was going to talk shit, he was going to amuse himself.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

That got Eggsy to make a face that was equal annoyance and amusement at the 'egghead'.

"What? That a hint of doubt I hear?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

"Not a hint," Dante said, "About ten pounds of it." He tilted his head. "Maybe twenty."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

"Gosh," Eggsy replied with exaggerated shock. "Never would guessed."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

"You always this much of a dick?" Dante asked.

It was, in fact, a genuine question!

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he replied with a grin. "Are you?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

"I don't know if I am," Dante said, looking thoughtful, "But if I was, it'd be bigger than yours."

You tell him, kid.

Woah there, buy him a drink first, Dante.

"Really goin' with that one?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante looked like he was thinking about it.

"Yep," he said.

It amused him. He didn't particularly care if amused Eggsy.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

All yours then, Dante.

Eggsy nodded like he was going to let that one go out of the kindness of his heart. "You know anything 'bout this place?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante nodded towards Maria. "She got a brochure," he said. "Didn't you?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

"Fuck no. Sounds shady as fuck to me."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante shrugged. He had no idea what was going on, beyond the part he wasn't going to get booted out just yet.

He sat back in his seat and stretched his arms out over the back of at least two more seats. "Eh," he said.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

Excuse you, Eggsy had no problem getting into fights with people bigger than him.

"So, what? You not get a brochure either?"

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante mimed checking all two of the pockets in his jacket, then patted his pants. "You know what," he said, "I just plain forgot about it."

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

Well, Eggsy responded the only way he could by flipping him off properly with two fingers.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[rebelseekspizza]

"And fuck you too, English dick," Dante said.

Merrily.

Re: Wait for the Shuttle

[myfaireggsy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, but I'll pass," Eggsy shot back with a smirk.

"Eh, there's no accounting for taste," Dante said, shaking his head sadly.
