11:32 am.

Gwen peers out the window as she awaits Peter's arrival. He isn't the most reliable when it comes to being on time (and boy does Gwen know it), but she still denies it to herself enough to feel a tinge of disappointment whenever she's reminded of it.

And that's Gwen's vice: her temper.

But have no fear, Mr. Parker, for the steam will settle once she sees that face.

Her smirk does look suspicious, but that's mostly his guilty conscience speaking. He fidgets a little, self-consciously, though Gwen's good humor is pretty much infectious.

"Well, it's, you know." He waves a hand. "It sounds cooler than it is."

(Yeah, okay, Parker.)

"Hey," he says, starting to smile again despite himself, "how weird can it be, right?"

TELL ME ABOUT IT, I am finally settled in JP and have to renew my account :')

Now there's a question that inspires a giggle in response. "That's something I've been asking myself this whole way."

They approach a building of aged brick that contains many shops and a number of other places to dine. But the set of stairs before them leads down below to an entrance with a sign hovering above the glass door: The Clever Rabbit.

"That's us." She bites the inside of her cheek, peering over at Peter. "You ready, rabbit?"
