š ā By the underside of the Bridge of Progress... was a nice, cozy nook none of the dock workers bothered with. Flouride sat within the nook, a dimming and short cigar between his fingers that he was taking puffs out of.
His other hand fiddled with a pencil, hunched over, for once he was using one of the several sketchbooks Yvette gave him to actually plan out his designs rather that bullshitting everything.
Beside - or rather, behind Flouride - was a satchel-bag full of random snacks and some water.
The water was calm. Night approached and .. the dock was empty. This felt like a reoccuring issue of trust - a deep thing Flouride never talked about - but he felt this was such a display of trust. One of them could easily kill the other here with the circumstances they met up at. One of them could easily fold the other in half..
Flouride didn't know if Sirius carried a weapon with him when he went out. He never asks, but the Chirean doesn't think that he needs to.
The scratches of the pencil's charcoal against the well-roughed paper was the only thing occupying his mind right now, aside from sometimes lifting the cigar for a puff - until he hears the familiar, heavy footsteps approaching, then he quickly snuffs the flame, tossing the finished shimmer butt to the side and waving away the purple smoke.
"Took y'long 'nough." the mechanic chuckles, "Was startin' to think you were gonna leave me out here."
It was a joke, of course.
"Got held up or just got lost again, Sirius?"
(Hii :] no need to respond right away.)
āGot held up⦠a client dropped in while I was working on something and had the audacity to complain about shit in their livesā¦.ā
Sirus can smell the shimmer, but heās not gunna be a dick about it.
āBrought some alcohol, some less sweet stuff and more sweet stuffā
