{OOM: Take to the streets, but you can't ignore
That's the sound
That's the sound you're waiting for.}

-There is, rather suddenly, a speedster in the bar. And for a second, he considers going right out, but time will have stopped on the other side of his door and maybe a few minutes to regroup and figure out what the hell just happened isn't such a bad idea.

And thus, a speedster in one of the booths, absently tapping his fingers against the table. Catch him while you can, folks.

...Yay, girlfriend!

She gets a slightly distracted and half-hearted smile. BUT IT'S BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IS GETTING. "Hey."

She smiles back, still not entirely noticing. A kiss is planted on his head as she finally does sit down next to him. "Hello, Speedy."

"Hey, Gorgeous."

:)?

(..T-taptap taptap tap tap t-tap.)

Okay. That gets a smile. But the taps? Get a small frown.

"Why are you doing that?"

"...Um. I dunno."

He stops. :D?

Confusion. "You don't know?"

"I wasn't really paying attention."

...It's mostly true!

"Okay."

Jenny can buy that, even if it does get a slight scowl. Paying attention is important. But, she won't scold him for now.

"So, what've you been up to?"

"Warrior games," she answers, excitement clear in her face. "They're brilliant, Bart! Hand to hand combat and all sorts of weapons I haven't seen before. Love them. Almost as good as running."

"Huh."

Srry still distracted. :/

"Huh?"

Does he not understand the brilliance? Or how much she wants him to join in?

"...Sorry," he says.

"That's great."

He forces a grin. :D?

Unlike Bart, Jenny's paying attention. And that grin isn't a genuine Bart grin. She shakes her head.

"What's going on?"

"...Um."

"Nothing."

:D?

Another head shake. "I don't think so, Bart."

"...Probably nothing."

A flash of fear appears in her eyes. Jenny doesn't like this, she doesn't like that he's suddenly not talking to her again. They had gotten good at it, hadn't they?

"Bart?"

"Yeah?"

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure."

Sharply, "Bart."

Augh.

"I don't, okay? I don't know."

"Thought you could talk to me," she retorted, crossing her arms over her chest. "You had gotten good at talking to me."
