Jasper makes an odd squeaking noise, and she seems excited to be getting along with Kreo so well. “Cool!” She stuffs her sketchbook back in her bag, then looks around. “Hmm… what else do you like to do?”
Miles stumbled slightly and looked over his shoulder at Nova.
“Ah- sorry! Didn’t see you there!” He called over his shoulder awkwardly. He sprinted to the room on the opposite end of the bridge, then skidded to a stop and stepped to the side, out of the way.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not get good vibes from that girl he almost ran into. In fact, he got very not-good vibes. He stepped back out onto the bridge. Mamá can wait a few minutes.
Nova rolled her eyes and started walking again, assuming that was the end of it. He’s watching. “I don’t care,” she said out loud, which got her a few weird looks. Come on. It’ll be fun. Nova stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Miles again. “Staring is rude, you know,” she called out to him.
Kreo puts away his own journal, and scans the bridges above/below them. "Well, I mostly just draw or bother my friends in my free time. There isn't that much to do around the spider-society, and when I'm back home, I'm either busy with school, or patrolling the city. So drawing is really the only consistent thing I find myself doing for fun I'd say."
Jasper nodded. “I get that.” She grinned. “I have this game I made up where I try to sneak up on Miguel and give him head pats- he hates it. But it’s really funny.” She tilted her head. “Might lose my hand at some point, though. Oh, well, who really needs them?” She said, laughing at herself.
Miles froze. “Uhh… I wasn’t staring at you. I was…” he looked past Nova at something that might have caught his interest. Nothing. “Admiring that wall? It’s a really nice wall. Very sturdy.” He shrugged, almost as if to ask if that was a good enough cover.
He’s funny. “Yeah, sure. Real nice architecture.” Nova raised an eyebrow. “Maybe you should get back to rushing wherever you were going in the first place.” Since you were panicking so much about it earlier.
(I think i will leave, because i've been busy lately and will be in the future, and it looks like you're wanting someone who can respond instantly)
Miles blinked, then snapped his fingers and grinned awkwardly. “Yeah. Good idea.” He stayed there for a moment more, then turned and walked away as casually as he could. He stepped out of the way, opened a portal to his universe, and the last thing heard from him was a frantic “Sorry, Mamá!” before he jumped through and the portal closed behind him.
Nova crossed her arms and watched Miles leave. She couldn’t tell if he was just a nuisance or a future threat. Likely just a nuisance. The chances are she wouldn’t have to see him again for a while, if ever.
Once Miles had left, Nova looked around. Not much to do around here as always, she thought. She sighed and leaned against a nearby column support. She started looking around, essentially just people-watching.
(I’ll think of something for Dante to do eventually-)
Kreo chuckles. "Sounds like a most excellent way to lose a limb." Kreo taps his feet a few times then stands. "I'm feeling a little antsy, wanna swing and talk? Or just swing?"
(I love these two already)
Jasper nodded. “Yep. It’s a genius method, really.” She tilted her head, then stood up after Kreo. “Sure, why not?” She closed her bag and slid one strap over her shoulder, letting the other hang loose. “I’m fine with either. I talk a lot, though, so sorry in advance.”
"Excellent! No apologies required!" As soon as Jasper agrees, Kreo lets himself unstick from the ceiling, and dives straight down for a moment, before thwipping a web to the side of a bridge, swinging under, then releasing to let himself launch straight up into the air.
Jasper quickly pushed herself off of the bridge and followed Kreo, webbing to a bridge past where Kreo was and zipping past him as he launched into the air. “You’ve gotta be faster than that!” She teased, though she wasn’t that far ahead.
(Sorry if my responses are a lil weird, I’m still waking up and I haven’t had my foob yet)
(I just started microwaving a pot pie)
"You're fast! Hold on a minute." With that, Kreo thwips the side of a bridge, and hurtles downward, then swings under another bridge. He proceeds to web multiple bridge under sides in a row, gaining momentum as he does. With one last thwip to a higher level, he launches up and forward, flying past Jasper, right above her head. "Hello there!" He calls as he flies above her head with a chuckle.
Jasper looked up at Kreo, pretending to be offended. “Rude.” She laughed and waved with her free hand, ducking her head slightly. “You’re pretty fast, too!” She called after him.
