Alex: Did you just take a picture of me? [The girl leapt to her feet, squinting at Robin as he emerged from the bushes; it was far too late to run away] Alex: You totally did, didn’t you? [Robin didn’t know what to say, or how to explain. Taking pictures of people whilst they were in their own world was just.. fun; whether they were appreciative of that, however, was usually 50/50] Alex: Can I see it? [Robin barely had time to nod before the girl skipped toward him, brazenly but gently angling the screen to see] Alex: It’s a good one though-.. do you always take pictures of people when they’re not looking? [Robin shrugged loosely; he was just glad that she didn’t seem offended] Alex: This camera is pretty fancy; did you steal it? [Robin blinked, shaking his head] Alex: Woah, your parents must be loaded! [Robin snorted, shaking his head again] Alex: Hm, I guess you wouldn’t be camping if you were loaded though-.. you’re camping, right? [Robin nodded, gesturing vaguely in the direction of his campsite] Alex: How long are you here for? [Robin held up his hand, five more days] Alex: Ugh, I’ve been here forever… [Robin raised a brow questioningly] Alex: My dad’s looking after this tower thingie for a friend whilst he’s on some show he won’t let me watch. Cool, huh? [Robin smiled, hoping to convey the fact that it did indeed sound cool] Alex: It was at first, anyway-.. now it’s kinda boring. [Robin wondered how long she’d been here for the forest to become boring, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask] Alex: You don’t talk much, do you? [Robin dug the heel of his shoe into the grass idly, offering the girl another shrug. He was starting to think that his choice to remain silent wasn’t always a choice at all…] Alex: My dad’s a bit like that sometimes, especially since-… [Robin frowned, she didn’t need to finish her sentence, though she couldn’t have known that…] Alex: Well, never mind-.. hey, do you wanna see the tower? [Robin widened his eyes as if to say, really?] Alex: Sure! Dad isn’t home so it’ll just be us. [Robin lifted his sleeve to check his watch, there was plenty of time until curfew] Alex: It’s super neat inside, c’mon!
