[Jake stowed his stuff somewhere-- not that he has a whole godawful lot of it --and started wandering around the train looking at stuff and awkwardly trying to avoid the majority of the people. Walking by Dirk's cabin, he pauses at a particularly breathtaking bit of scenery and finds himself opening the door without asking, just to look.]

[A moment later he realizes it's Dirk sitting at the window, possibly with a lap-Roxy.]

Oh! Well bother, salutations.

[givesyouaboner]

JAKE. HEY.

_{[If that lap Roxy is there, she's pillowless now, because Dirk is on his feet. TIME FOR A FISTBUMP BRO, ARE YOU READY FOR IT?]}

Do you need a place to sit? There's plenty of room in here!

[ficklefuckwit]

[Oh, fistbumping! He's sort of fumbling about it, but yes, okay, bumping his fist into Dirk's. A suitable greeting! He has to remember that one.]

Well certainly, if you don't mind!

[givesyouaboner]

Of course I don't! If I did, I wouldn't have invited you to sit here.

[ficklefuckwit]

Suppose that makes sense, doesn't it.

[He steps inside, a mite awkwardly, and just sort of grins, looking out the window.]

The Scottish countryside is truly beautiful.

[givesyouaboner]

It is! It's my first time seeing it, outside of what I've seen on tv and stuff.

[ficklefuckwit]

My parents live in Glasgow, so I've seen a bit of it. I don't really remember much, though. And this is much more rural than I'm used to...

[givesyouaboner]

We really are way far out there then.

[ficklefuckwit]

Certainly.

[He considers taking a seat for a moment, and just fiddles with his robes for a moment before gathering them and flopping to sit next to Dirk. Hi, he's just going to enjoy your presence for a while, hmmkay.]

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Dirk doesn't really have much to say for the moment either, but this is okay. He doesn't mind the quiet, especially when the company is pleasant.]}

[ficklefuckwit]

[Good! 'Cause Jake kind of doesn't know what to say. So he just sits there and enjoys Dirk's presence.]
