Gordo sighed, left alone he shoved his hands in his pockets, watching those around him. There weren't many things that interested him, so Gordo watched people around him. He watched a couple of people, and after a time, he hesitated before approaching a purple haired individual. There was something about her that intrigued him and he wanted to figure out what.

Still, he stuttered as he said [color=seagreen]"H-hello."[/color]

Caity stopped in her tracks, turning to this new person. Something still tugged at her to keep walking, but for now she paused. [color=a187be]"Hi?" [/color]She asked, confused. Why was this guy talking to her. She wasn't anything special. Glancing around, Caity noticed everyone seemed to be talking to someone. Maybe he was talking to her out of pity?

Still, his stuttering was kind of cute. As was he.

[color=a187be]"Looks like a bomb went off inside a unicorn, right?"[/color] She waived her hand in the air - sparkles of glitter still floated around.

Gordo smiled slightly, the girl seemed to think he was just there because there was no one else to approach. Strange, really. Really, she just intrigued him and Gordo gave a shrug. [color=seagreen]"well, that's certainly one way to describe it. I was thinking tinker bell was just so excited, she had to share the dust. The fairies so far do seem excited about us.."[/color] he said, managing to not stutter thankfully.

[color=seagreen]"I'm g-Gordo"[/color] Drat. Spoke took soon about the stuttering. Reaching up he ran a hand through his hair, pushing his glasses more securely to his nose as he did so, slightly flustered.

Caity laughed. [color=a187be]"Humph, Tinker Bell."[/color] It was an apt description. It did look much like the fairy went everywhere and scattered pixidust. [color=a187be]"Too bad we aren't flying, too."[/color]

She watched him with raised brows. [color=a187be]"You okay? You seem a bit nervous. You shouldn't be because of [i]me[/i]. Maybe because of all the Tinker Bells flying around and fucking with our heads, though. Next thing you know is Peter Pan will show up."[/color] Caity grinned at him, glad to share a joke.

Gordo smiled brightly, then shrugged [color=Seagreen]"Then I'd be worried about falling, I have trouble keeping my feet on the ground as it is"[/color] he said, a little bashfully, watching the dust for a moment, and then back to Caity. 

[color=seagreen]"Why shouldn't I be a little nervous?"[/color] he asked softly, a little...stumped about why he was. [color=seagreen]"You're a girl, and you seem quite nice. And, from what I heard, likes books."[/color] Why was he saying this?

Caity stared at him. [color=a187be]"Yeah, but I'm just a girl. There are girls here who I'm [i]pretty[/i] sure are supermodels."[/color] She paused a moment, his last words registering in her head. Had he eavesdropped on her conversation with Keiran? That really was not something she wanted to be eavesdropped on.

[color=a187be]"Uh... were you eavesdropping?"[/color] Her tone was clear - she did [i]not[/i] approve.

[color=seagreen]"sorry for having ears"[/color] Gordo said,surprised he had snapped back like that, wondering what he had done to have the girl be so...hostile. He thought they had been having a good conversation, but maybe he was just delusional. What girl would like him, anyway? [color=seagreen]"and sound travels"[/color] he slid his hands into his pockets once more, weary at having to defend himself from something he couldn't really stop. 

She raised her brows. Caity hadn't expected him to snap at her. She hadn't been rude, but eavesdropping wasn't a nice thing to do. [i]She[/i] certainly wasn't paying attention to other people's conversations. Maybe he had really good hearing? [color=a187be]"Were you bitten by a radioactive bat?"[/color] She asked, laughing a little, trying to diffuse the situation. [color=a187be]"Because your hearing has to be really good to be able to overhear stuff through all this noise."[/color]

[color=seagreen]"Nope it was a spider,"[/color] Gordo shot back. So he could listen? It was a skill many people seemed to have lost over the years. It wasn't like he planned on it. [color=seagreen]"I'm good at listening, okay? Not many people notice me, and so I pay attention to what is around me."[/color] a little disappointed when it seemed to have been going so well, Gordo got a tad defensive.

[color=a187be]"So why aren't you swinging through the trees like Spiderman?"[/color] Caity asked with a laugh. [color=a187be]"Or, rather, Tarzan? Though Tarzan wasn't bit by a radioactive spider..."[/color]

Was she messing with him? Gordo couldn't tell. Suddenly self conscious and worried, he ran a hand through his hair again, causing it to stick up even more. Although he was pleased she could laugh, it hurt knowing it was at his expense. [color=seagreen]"No, he wasn't. He was raised by gorillas."[/color] he said a little neutrally, trying to figure out what he had done wrong. Caity seemed to have expected hostility from the first, and he didn't know why.

[color=a187be]"Right? See, you know your classic literature."[/color] She paused. [color=a187be]"Or you know your Disney movies."[/color] Caity laughed again. Not that the Disney versions of classics were bad, of course. She held a certain fondness for them - she had loved them as a child. But they weren't the actual stories.

[color=seagreen]"I know both"[/color] Gordo replied, still trying to figure out what he had done wrong. He sighed softly. Maybe coming approaching her hadn't been a good idea. He placed his hands in his pockets again, and stepped back. [color=seagreen]"well, it's been nice talking to you"[/color]

[color=a187be]"You too." [/color]Caity did wonder, a bit, if she had said something wrong. She thought she had been nice - she had only been joking with the man, after all. That was what she did. But it didn't seem to matter, because she was being pulled away again by some invisible force. And she still needed to talk to Nico!

She glanced back at Gordo as she walked away. [color=a187be]"Oh, by the way, I don't know if you heard, but don't eat or drink here!"[/color] Might as well give him the warning. It was the least she could do.
