BWI Airport, Portalocity Lounge

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?"

"Hiya," she chirped. "Nice to meet you. Did you have a good trip in?"

Yes, she was just going to try to make conversation with the sleepy-looking guy until he explicitly told her not to. And possibly still after that.

Sleep and tipsy now. It was a good place for him to be.

"I'm still awake for all that's worth," Eggsy replied. Then eyed her because she was way more chipper than anyone else there.

Get used to it, Eggsy.

"That's good," she said. "Missing the bus to school would be a pretty bad first day. Unless you'd rather be sleeping?"

"I'd be happy with a nap," Eggsy replied. "Long flight, yeah."

"Tell me about it. I don't fly a lot, but sitting still always makes time go slower," April sympathized. "If you want, you can nap and I'll wake you up when the bus gets here! I think I have a pillow in my stuff somewhere..."

"Gotta get used to the timezone," he replied with a put upon sigh. That's how it worked, right?

"Oh yeah." Guess who had been planning to just sleep whenever she felt like it! Good thought, Eggsy. "Hopefully they'll let us relax when we get there. I bet it'll be all getting-to-know-you games and then unpacking time."

A little wrinkle of her nose communicated how April felt about getting-to-know-you games.

He just didn't want to sleep the entire weekend. That would suck.

"Ah, fuck no. I'll pass on that."

"Me too." It was way better to get to know someone through actual organic interactions! "I hope there's somewhere we can hide out until it's over."

"Gotta be somewhere they can't force that shit on you." He could just continue to nap on the bus.

"Want to hide out with me?" she suggested. Her face was all mischief. This was a very mischievous thing she was suggesting, Eggsy!
