(no subject)

[a1enzo]

Enzo should really be studying. In fact, the presence of a couple of file windows suggests that his original intention was to do just that.

What he is in fact doing is idly directing a winged toy car through the air around his head.

Bother him, make him get back to work, or tell him to keep his car out of your airspace and/or drink.

Quatre's attention is first caught by the file windows, then by Enzo and the flying toy.

He grins, and sits down a couple barstools away from Enzo, ordering a coffee before glancing over. "Hey, up to something important?"

[a1enzo]

Enzo snorts at this, but when it registers who's talking, his amusement abruptly becomes awkwardness.

"Hey, Quatre. Nah, just taking a break."

He pauses, trying to decide whether or not to immediately broach the subject of said awkwardness.

[04_after]

"I'd think that was important," Quatre says, easily, though he's somewhat concerned. "Is something the matter?"

[a1enzo]

"No, not the matter..." Not exactly. "So, I got your music."

[04_after]

"Ah," Quatre smiles slightly. "I was hoping you would find it useful, but I didn't really know what genre you preferred."

[a1enzo]

"Punk's my favourite, but I'm, you know, investigating. Looking for different kinds of music. The stuff you gave me is real interesting."

[04_after]

"I'm not familiar with it," Quatre admits, "but I doubt it has much room for the violin?"

[a1enzo]

"What, punk?"

[04_after]

"It might," Quatre clarifies, slightly uncertain, "I wasn't taught it. Yes, punk."

[a1enzo]

"No-o-o-ot usually," Enzo says with a slight snicker. "Be interesting to hear, though!"

[04_after]

"What does punk usually have, then? Guitar, obviously -- drums?"

[a1enzo]

"Lot of drums. Bass guitar. My band's got a theremin, too."

[04_after]

"Theremin?" Quatre says, tilting his head slightly. "I'm not sure I know it."

(It sounds like something he should know, but he thinks it might be a language difference.)

Bonzo involuntarily ducks when Enzo's car buzzes him, only noticing the incoming vehicle at the last minute...fortunately not literally buzzing his hair, but definitely resulting in a comic overreaction involving a spilled drink and a fallen chair.

He is suddenly looking around for the culprit, wondering just whose vehicle that is...

[a1enzo]

It's not entirely clear how Enzo is controlling the car. There's no visible mechanism, but the way the green hands wave through the air and the wicked grin would suggest that the sprite is in command.

Bonzo would usually be a bit...well, irritated at the surprise. Tonight, however...he laughs it off as best he can and heads over to where Enzo is standing, waving...

...and more or less ignoring the fact that a bit of his drink spilled on one of his legs. Oops?

"How're you flying that thing?" Bonzo asks, leaping to the obvious conclusion.

[a1enzo]

"Magic, I think," Enzo says cheerfully. "Not really sure."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

"It's pretty cool...where'd you get it?"

He's chalking up the buzzing to Enzo trying to get the hang of it and letting that go...it's not like he can't wash his clothes, so it's really no harm no foul.

[a1enzo]

Well, he didn't intend to buzz him quite that close.

"Val von Doom gave it to me a while ago. It's based on one from a book. Only she said it's down in the garage, too."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

"Who's Val von Doom?" The name doesn't ring a bell, but it sure sounds ominous.

[a1enzo]

"Valeria von Doom. Don't let the name fool you, she's not a villain. Her dad was, though, at least in one reality. Her family's really confusing. Actually, her everything's really confusing."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

Bonzo nods. "Sounds like an interesting girl." Beat. "And I thought I came from a confusing world?"

[a1enzo]

"Yeah, but she doesn't even technically exist anymore. I still don't get really it."

[mandercommander.livejournal.com]

Blink. "She did exist but doesn't? And you've met her since then?"

[a1enzo]

"Yeah. I mean, she doesn't exist in her world anymore. Or never did. I think they changed the past or something."
