Chapter 3 - Converse

"The names Remi, and you are...?" Remi hasn't had the slightest of luck prying any details about this curious stranger. He only got a look and a scoff in response but he wasn't giving up yet
"Ohh come on doll! What's the big deal? 'S not like I'm asking your number or anything!" Remi insisted, poking at the non obscured part of the others face.
"Why are you so interested?" He rose an eyebrow, glancing at him before returning his gaze straight ahead.
"Oh my gawd, can't I be the slightest bit friendly? Hold a mild conversational? Fine fine, new topic. How do you feel about the tea that is that Princey dude? New local hero?" Remi inquired, smirking slightly at the fact it seemed the other was actually considering his question.
"I've heard mixed reviews about him. Many rave at his good dead's and heroic capabilities. Others seem to view him as a threat." He paused a moment "if others have his powers, they could be considered threats and put in danger," glancing at Remi, he added "hypothetically speaking, of course. There isn't much proof of there being more". He rolled his shoulders back.
"True true, if you want to go all political about it. I'm more focus on, oh I dunno, his new outfit is a MAJOR downgrade. How disappointing!" Remi was very animated about this topic. "I mean, come on! Cutie alert, why are you covering your face with a hood? Ugh! I like the mask so much more, it fit his aesthetic!" The other just shrugged, rather indifferent about the topic.
The pair continued their conversation, sticking to light topics. They trailed as far to a nearby cafe, separately purchasing their treats (and Remi flirting with the nerd with glasses). The stranger held his newspaper loosely under his arm.
"Oh darling, why didn't you say before? You're looking for a place to live?" Remi smiled.
"Where do you get that idea? I said no such thing."
"Well, your newspaper has listings of apartments on it, and you circled some. So obviously I connected the dots!" Remi tugged at the newspaper. "What a coincidence! I was just thinking about needing a roommate and-" Remi caught himself "well, I'm not saying you specifically! Im a bit of a party people person, I'm sure that ain't your style! Besides, late shifts at work and a bit of a night owl, I can't expect the first person I'd run into to be interested in sharing a place with me." Remi laughed, somewhat nervously and mostly to himself. It was silent for a long awkward moment.
"I'd... consider it, I suppose.." The stranger started, using a napkin and jotting something down on it. He handed it to a Remi. "If you could maybe send details later that be great. I have other things to do today besides talking to friendly strangers.... Remi, right?". Remi nodes and smiled as the other waved him off with a yellow gloved hand and walked away. He looked down at the napkin.

"So... Dylan, huh?"
