[A certain number of minutes later, Angela's stationed in the diner at a corner table, flanked on both sides by plate glass windows, and sipping on a cup of sugar-laced coffee. She isn't here just to get a sight of Orange from far away. She's enjoying the sunshine streaming through the windows. Cheap ass suntan, ahoy.]
[At least girl don't need no tanning booth or a can of spray. Unlike Freddy here who couldn't tan without peeling to save his life, but today he's in a long sleeve button down with the cuffs rolled to his elbows. Look at that headwound, looks like he got clawed by a werewolf from above his right brow halfway into his hair line. There's some bandage dressing on it to keep from making people lose their lunch although it's not that bad looking. Freddy's scanning the tables now for Angela.]
[Not that bad looking? Let somebody who doesn't downplay the urgency of being in the emergency room be the judge of that. Speaking of judging, Angela actually does catching sight of him walking in and her eyes go wild. Really wide. What in the world did he get into this time?]
I had a light fixture fall on me. [He nods once, not pulling away from her artist's hands.] It's not gonna come back and bite me in the ass if that's what you're thinkin'.
[Freddy's fairly sure on that part.]
And there ain't no guy on my band aid. [It's a yellow face with glasses. What even.]
I'm tellin' you the truth about it not comin' back to bite me.
[As far as Freddy knows anyway, because those guys are dead and he fears what she would do or think of him to know that. Sure there are vampires and aliens and other vicious fucks around here but to Freddy Newendyke, after being here for some time, the scariest motherfuckers to him are still the human ones. As for the rhythm, he sure doesn't stop her. Too bad he doesn't recognize the beat either.]
