Grateful for the open sidewalk mostly covered from prying eyes by looming trees right behind Moris, Gunner clomped awkwardly on roller skates that Philly had convinced him to get. It’d seemed like a good idea at the time, but months had gone by without him actually trying them out, and he finally decided it’d be a waste of a bargain if he didn’t give it a try today. His track record wasn’t exactly impeccable, and he’d already torn a hole in the knees of his jeans from the amount of falls he’d taken. Shredded palms were held out on either side of him for balance when he saw Marlowe rounding the corner, 15 minutes later than he’d said he’d be after Gunner all but begged him to help, “Nice of you to show up!” Though his face showed he was less than impressed, there was no actual malice in his tone. Making grabby hands at the other, Gunner urged Marlowe closer, “Come help. I’ve been at it for 30 minutes or something, I can’t make it more than two feet. I wanna make it to the other end of Moris before it’s dark.” @jamesmarlowe
