The moon she is lurking, the clock it stopped working
At a quarter past three
At a quarter past three
Fortunately, Callum's suggestion seems to work. The girl asks nicely, and the mud drops off, plopping unceremoniously into the puddle at her feet. A crooked grin stretches across Cal's face as he comes to a stop nearby, the picture of relaxation with his hands in his pockets. If there was a wall nearby, he'd be lounged nonchalantly against it, watching the show.
She asks his name, and the mercenary snorts with derision. "Callum," he says, shaking his head with amusement. At least he's difficult to offend. After all, they'd only spent a few hours together, and it had been a while. He can't blame her for forgetting. "And you're..." He pauses, if only to tease her, to needle her a little in response to forgetting his name. "... Nova, right?"
The mud takes this moment to nudge its way onto the toe of Nova's boot, and Cal nods at it sagely. "Looks like you've made a friend," he drawls. "But here - this should help." And he holds out a nondescript bottlecap, showing it to Nova before tossing it along the path. The mud, intrigued by the motion, retreats from Nova's boot to chase (slowly) after the item.

There's something dancing here in the shadows
And I wish it were us
And I wish it were us
Callum
