[Sadly, it's the presence of Dave's eyes that gets John to tone it down and he blinks stupidly for a moment before he stands up a little straighter. He doesn't back away otherwise, but he gives a small, sly grin despite that. It's when Dave stops rambling that he begins to move again.]

Hey, a probably is way more promising than a maybe! Just remember that. [But hmmmm...] My first guess was the photography thing. Like hand-held time capsules and stuff. Music otherwise?

[parodeity]

[ dave wins!! ]

I think I am actually just not gonna tell you?

[windeity]

Oh come on! I'm kidding...don't be like that.

[parodeity]

Tell you what, buttercup, you figure it out on your own sometime and I'll give you a prize. [ although as usual it's a confused mess of ideas rather than a crystal clear explanation, so how could anyone guess it...? ] For now, do you want to give it a go?

[ "it" isn't helpful. ]

[windeity]

[Dave stop calling him buttercup, it's eventually going to be embarrassing.]

I keep forgetting friendship with you means a lot of thinking. [But.] Sure. I'll take a crack at it.

[So hey, what the fuck is "it"?]

[parodeity]

[ how is it not already embarrassing??? ]

If you drop it I'll be super mad. [ he holds out the camera to john, raising an eyebrow. ]

[windeity]

[Because John's good at suppressing everything possible. Still, he looks at the camera and he laughs under his breath, taking the device in his hand and adjusting the strap to make sure it stays on while turning the camera to Dave instead.]

I cannot tell if I am supposed to be offended or understanding that you're worried about me dropping it.

[parodeity]

[ cool. dave's going to be weird and hook his newly free right hand onto john's arm, the one holding his left hand. so that. both his hands can be warm. ]

If you're not sure then you should definitely err on the side of understanding?

[windeity]

[Sure Dave. Okay. John keeps the camera trained on him and somehow manages to skate forward a little.]

I am definitely sure you would kick my ass a lot if I broke it, so I am sure I will not break it. that has to count for something, right?

[parodeity]

[ look as long as john doesn't call him out on it, this is fine. dave's matching john's pace with skating still, although given earlier he can clearly go a lot faster. ]

Okay, so it's your turn to ask me an interview question, I guess?

[windeity]

It is! [And he seems absolutely delighted by the prospect as they lazily skate. The other people on the rink might think they're insane by now, but alas.]

What is something you want to accomplish before 2017 is over?

[parodeity]

[ pretty sure the other people just think they're on a fucking date. ]

Uh...wow, okay. [ laughs he never thinks about accomplishments for himself very well... ] Putting aside certain shit, and going for the interview-safe answer, I guess I would kind of like to learn a new dance?

[windeity]

[Not a date if the word "date" is not used out loud. So it's just bros being bros apparently.]

Makes sense. Do you learn dances as fast as I learn songs?

[parodeity]

That sounded dangerously smug of you. But I pick up most things quickly, when they're physical or a few other categories.

[ usually by being thrown into shit but. ]

[windeity]

It’s not smug if it is a fact. [Like. Just saying.] What kind would you want to learn?

[parodeity]

Soundin' like a smug jock stereotype again, Eggs. [ he'd flip john off but he'd have to move his hands. :/ ] And I don't know. Something fast and hard and complicated.

[windeity]

Whatever. You would be good at that, I think. That’s something I think I’d like to see.

[parodeity]

I'd need a partner. [ that's not even true if it's not a pair dance? ok ]

[windeity]

You could probably ask Anya? [Thats probably not where Dave was going.]

[parodeity]

Nah. [ he shrugs, and apparently dismisses the entire topic, moving on. ] Next question?

[windeity]

Okay. Why red? [He can move on, sure. ]

[parodeity]

Why blue?

[windeity]

Not how this works, Dave. This is your interview, remember? [But he can't maintain the seriousness for long.] I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. [Why it's his favorite, basically.]

[parodeity]

I genuinely don't know. [ not a dodge. ] I'm not even sure it was originally?

[ when he was a kid, he means. ]

I think it's just one of those universe-dictated things. Color coded for your convenience. I mean... [ a shrug. ] ...it's just my color.

[windeity]

You're not wrong. Every time I think of red I think of you first so you did a pretty okay job copyrighting it. If you can copyright a color, I mean. And anyway it looks good on you.
