[Hm. Griffin doesn't answer that accusation right away - instead opting to lean his back against a wall and enjoy the view]

Well... I'd hate to say I only made it here the easy way.

Sure.

[he will just watch him for a moment.]

[Griffin glances back at him and-- smiles that fond, puppy dog smile of his.]

...You think 'rent a bat' will fit on that billboard?

[well THAT shakes him out of his reverie—]

— You wouldn’t.

[Laughs, unabashed and playful]

Me? Never.

It'd be rent a bird now, anyway.

Roy's an idiot.

[this feels not true, but also Roy's important so he gets to say it anyway]

Don't be like Roy.

[This also feels not true to Griffin, who frankly thinks shooting someone with an arrow to save them from falling is a Galaxy brain move]

I distinctly remember you calling him a genius?

Hmm. Seems fake.

God's honest truth.

I think you're just trying to find one good excuse to do the thing you know I don't want you to do.

[Smirks at Jason,]

You'd look good, though.

Flattery only works when I want it to work.

[this is not true, but you know what, he's just gonna acknowledge the attempt]

Oh, is that how it works?

[Seems fake]

It is.

[he is a man with no weaknesses, after all. Even with all this shameless flirting happening.]

Well something needs to go on that empty canvas.

I think you can be more creative than just stealing Roy’s idea.

Well, if you insist.

[He lightly bumps shoulders with Jason as he reaches to grab a sketchbook from his coat]

[he's not insisting-- though. not yet. if he thought he was serious, that would be another story.]

What else are you thinking?

[he's gonna glance at the sketchbook]

[There's some rough sketches of ideas with no home on the pages: skeletons garbed like saints, winged beasts in chains, crows turning into firebirds.

He holds them up to better imagine how they might look.]

I think I've been on a real bird kick lately.

[he points to the crows.]

Could be a good one for this.

[if he wanted his opinion at all-- they were all pretty good, but he liked the symbolism in that one.]

Mm. I was thinkin' that too.

[Except he'd drawn it for a taller canvas, like the top of a tower - fitting it on this billboard would need to rework the design a bit]

You got time.

[he leans back against the AC unit, watching him intently for a moment.]

Dunno 'bout you, but my calendar's pretty clear.

[Griffin glances back at him,]

Don't tell me you brought a book.

[Amused by the idea because if he did, that would be Very Endearing?]

Wow, I know you think I'm a mega nerd, but that's just excessive.

One can never be too sure.

[He takes out his phone and flips it in his hand as he passes it to Jason, the Spotify app open. They might have free streaming idol music now, but you still had to pay for other genres - and Griffin already a stack of digital albums.]

You can pick the tunes then.
