...Sounds real, but we know that I don't know jack shit about power tools, right? [ WRYLY...HE ADMITS HIS FAILINGS HERE ] And what's wrong with drapes?
I had no idea but now I do. And nothing I guess but--[There's no time to argue that since the doors suddenly burst open and a chainsaw-wielding doctor enacts the last jumpscare, quickly advancing on them and forcing them to head to the right toward the real exit.]
[Tight enough so that he feels Dave's hand move and he tightens the grip, pulling Dave straight for the exit and plunging straight into the dark. The sound of the chainsaw follows as they head for the end of the hall, finally finding a door and exiting the haunted house entirely.]
[The sky's gray, the sun's out, and the haunted house is left behind as they're back in the parking lot and John stares at the building before he grins sheepishly.]
Sorry. Sometimes I do not actually think about that.
No, not really. You're good with directions and it saves my phone battery from having to use my GPS all the time. [Among other things. But he pauses to think.] ...if it's only a couple of blocks, wanna walk? It's not that cold out.
[A shrug?] I am used to colder weather and you clearly are not even though you have lived here for almost ten years. [He continues to hold the sweater out though.] It's not bad.
It's not my fault cold is completely unnatural. [ on the one hand: this would make him warmer. on the other hand: what if ] - Are you absolutely sure you won't get cold??
Okay, try telling that to things like the weather and climate. [But he rolls his eyes nevertheless.] If I get cold I will let you know, but I am absolutely sure. But if you really don't want it...
...Well, if you're gonna make me walk. [ says the guy who has admitted he likes? walking places in the city? but he will reach out to accept the sweatshirt this time, and tug it on over his head.
how he does this without jarring his shades at all is a Mystery. ]
[For whatever reason he chuckles to himself (mostly because yeah, the shades did not move and that's funny to him) and he slips his hands into the pockets of his jeans while he waits for Dave to finish and begin leading them.]
A few blocks isn't so bad. [Also? You are fooling absolutely no one, Dave Strider.]

[ dave flicks his eyes back to the house, considering, then says: ]
How about we mosey on down to the pumpkin patch for a while? Still Halloween-y.

Okay. You can drive, I'll navigate?

As always. [...he does let go though after tugging Dave's hand to get him to walk toward the car.] How far is it from here?
no subject
[ but john drops his hand so dave shoves it in his pocket. @ winter: fuck off ]
Not far. A few blocks, maybe.

In any other season you'd be right... [ but he'll lead the way after shoving his hands into the pockets of john's sweatshirt, grumbling. ]
