( closed ) darken your clothes; strike a violent pose

WHO: Accelerator and Robin
WHEN: Mid-Juneish
WHERE: Corrine's Cafe.
WHAT: Just two teenagers, discussing the hoard of other teens and tweens who are also here. for science.
NOTES\WARNINGS: n/a, probably hopefully.

( he's sitting at a table that leans up against the window, a cup of hot chocolate slowly growing colder in front of him and a notebook under his forearm that's filled with what looks like it could be words, but isn't. they all have a universal translator pressed against the sides of their head, keeping an eye out for languages they can't understand and robin intends on seeing the extend of that. seeing if it will recognize languages he's making up on the fly, sentences he's putting together with lettering he'd only just created a few moments before it was put down on paper.

there are a few doodles off towards the edges, characters sketched onto the page when he'd needed time to think and wanted something mindless to work his hands through. but that's not what he's focusing on now. a few sentences sit before him, and he's reaching up on instinct when the white-haired boy from before starts passed him, arm sticking out far enough to stop him but without intentions of actually grabbing hold of him. instead, robin's arm stays out for a moment, before he pulls it back in and holds his arm over the doodles so the only thing visible is the paragraph towards the far corner of the book. )


Can you read this?

[Combat or reconnaissance, huh? Totally typical skills for a kid his age.

Accelerator is silent for several long moments, considering this. When he speaks up, it isn't to give a skill and see if Damian knows it.]


Why?

Yeah, but if you don't want to explain that's fine.

[He's aware the answer could tread into territory that's highly personal, so he isn't about to push.]

[Why the hell would you need to? is the question that's on the tip of Accelerator's tongue, though he refrains from answering. The other question rising up in his mind is Why the hell do your parents think this is okay? Because it isn't, it really isn't.

He could care less about adults having dangerous lines of work. That's their prerogative, and if they don't know what they're getting into that's on them. But for said adults to think it's appropriate for their kid to know the kind of shit an assassin does - that's disgusting.

He's sure if he said that out loud he'd have a whole argument on his hands, and he doesn't want this plan to help the other kids here fail before it even gets off the ground. Besides, he'd be directing his ire at someone who doesn't deserve it.]


Tche. [He's annoyed, but he keeps his voice level] So you've got a leg up on these fucking missions.

[There's... that at least???]

Uh huh. [Yep, he's definitely gotten that vibe from the kid, which means he needs to be a little more careful about how he acts with him. Working with him doesn't mean Accelerator isn't going to keep an eye on him at the same time.

He'll just be smart about it.]


This is a decent start. It's better than sitting back and doing nothing.
