*Brian's in the bar, and he's chewing something. He's wearing the slightly furtive expression of all toddlers chewing something they shouldn't be; angelic with a side order of mischievous and a smidgeon of guilt and fear of being caught.

It would appear he found his flatmate's stash of chocolate.

Yes, he has spare*

Cuthbert's not familiar with the phrase "it's all good", so it takes him a moment to get it. When he does, though, he laughs.

"So, Brian...whereabouts are you from?"

If there's chocolate in plentiful supply there, it can't be bad.

Cardiff Earth Milky Way Universe 2005 of our Earth Years. How about yourself?

"Well, here, nowadays. But formerly Gilead, New Canaan, In-World, All-World. Nice place to live, but chocolate was tragically scarce."

[grimy-brian.livejournal.com]

That's a new one on me, man.

*he hands Cuthbert a big bar of chocolate*

You need to make up for lost time, man.

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Yes, I do. Thank you."

Cuthbert beams as he takes the chocolate bar. Brian just might have earned himself a friend for life just now.

[grimy-brian.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. Share the love, and shit.

So what did you do in Gilead?

Cuthbert nibbles on chocolate for a moment before answering.

"Same thing I do here, really. 'M a gunslinger, which basically means I shoot things in order to protect people. Not so much with the shooting here, though."

Wow. That sounds pretty... wow. Responsibility, and stuff.

*he looks awed*

Bert grins a bit self-consciously. "Well, I suppose it does carry a lot of responsibility. I do my best."

*Brian grins*

Also you have a good hat.

"Why, thank you. I have a friend who doesn't seem to think so. He says I should get a new just because this one happened to get a bit crushed."

[grimy-brian.livejournal.com]

Nuh uh, man. That hat's got history. You can't abandon a hat just 'cos of accidents.

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

Cuthbert makes a there-you-have-it gesture. "Exactly."

*he grins*

I like Hats. They're pretty cool. Keep your head warm and are handily blameable as faulty moral compass.
