This was even more of a secluded part of the park than Newt intended. He fidgeted, feeling a bit like he was doing a drug deal (which, okay, was kind of cool even if the last time he had anything to do with THAT sort of thing, he nearly got eaten by Kaiju TWICE, got a knife shoved up his nose, and got threatened at gunpoint...but he was cool, he was good, he could deal)--after all, all he really intended to do was show this Kavinsky guy a power and get to take home a dragon (a tiny dragon which was pretty damn cool). But the dragon, on top of everything in the past week or so, Hermann would not like, but that didn't matter because Newt was bringing the little guy home anyway and they already had a terrarium and plenty of paper and other burnables. It would stay in Newt's room, and he had brought home some fire-proof gear and a fire-extinguisher and extra couple of fire alarms and he even remembered to bring with him the fire-proof gloves. WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

Besides the obvious, of course.

He bounced in place and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his Kaiju tattoos in a nervous gesture, straightened the rolls like Hermann did when he was feeling especially prissy, and then scrunched them again.

It had been a grand total of...oh, a minute. But looking up from his phone to check the time, he spotted Kavinsky.

"Hey. I was beginning to think you'd changed your mind." Look cool, be cool. Don't feel like that Steve Buchemi in high-school 30 Rock meme.

cw mention of drugs

Kavinsky parks the Mitsu somewhere and then walks the rest of the way. It does feel like a drug deal, except that ordinarily he prefers to do his illicit business through the window of his car or amid a party crowd. The easier to keep an eye out and drive away with, or else, incriminate somebody nearby. This, on the other hand, isn't all that criminal, by his rather high personal standards. He's done some shit, in seventeen years.

Cute park.

He raises his hand when Newt comes into view. There's a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, smoked down nearly to the filter by now. Giant sunglasses perched on his nose, white rims. He has a backpack slung over one shoulder. Jeans, sneakers and a tank top are nothing fancy, somebody from his world would be able to tell that they're some exorbitantly priced designer nonsense. To Newt, the cut probably just looks a little anachronistic compared to the '50s stuff the natives favor. "You want something to shoot, too?" he asks, smiling, serrated. Too many teeth. "Looks like you got the shakes, man."
