Charcoal || Jake & Barrett
Heād caught the workerās name in passing, found interest in him through glances and brush-bys. He smells faintly like oil on hot metal and towers over the elf by almost an entire foot, but Jakeās never been easily intimidated by the likes of a human.
Still decked out in his uniform, to boot; you canāt be a security guard and find yourself easily unnerved. Though heās currently off the clock, so he figures he can let up with the scowl -- or he could, if it werenāt just the way his face is. A perpetual frowner, almost. Barrett seems similar; the brunet is almost familiar, in a way. Maybe someone heād met in a previous life, somewhere far away from here, if Jake believed in that sort of thing.
"Hey!ā Trailing behind the mammoth only got him ignored, and Jake wonders if heād even noticed him from all the way up there. His brows bounce upwards when Barrett wheels to consider him, though he remains steely-faced despite his initial alarm, quickly regaining composure.Ā
ā...Your name,ā he tries, a little lamely, one pale index finger raised, it curls towards his palm as he falters. He didnāt receive a reply as quick as heād wanted, so, a little more considerative, he slants his eyes and rephrases;Ā āWhatās your name?ā
