How the hell could they lose anything? Trains don't check your luggage!
[her cheeks puff out briefly, but she's too happy to see him to really follow through with the facetious outrage. it slides away before she's even finished her sentence, although she does sassily jut her hip out anyway; it makes for a good place to balance the paper bag.]
Besides, maybe I've got more than you realize and you're just hallucinating because you're so tired. It's pretty late.
[which is to say, she appreciates him coming out here and is grateful that he even managed to be awake and alert when she arrived.]
[But she's not concerned, so Josuke lets it go. The obvious assumption here is that she packed light. Very light. And knowing what he does about Hazel, this really doesn't surprise him.]
Anyway, I'm not tired! [Said as he takes another sip of coffee before pointing at the bag propped up on her hip.] So, what did you bring back?
[she says this with a faint amount of pride, even as the bag slowly slides down her hip and causes a very undignified scramble to hoist it back up. thanks for helping make her look cool, souvenirs. this is why she shoved the rest of you into her bag!!!]
I got lost twice in the middle of the night in a fucking nightmare forest trying to find the place, but it was totally worth it.
[Like, seriously, how could she get lo—no, better not to ask that question. The answer is one he already knows, anyway: she's Hazel. He wouldn't be at all surprised if some unusual variety of plant had drawn her off course and she'd wanted to investigate, or she'd gotten herself into some kind of trouble and had been forced to make a run for it.]
Never mind, you need help with that?
[He's still got his coffee in one hand, but his arms are larger than hers, that bag would be a non-issue.]
[for once she's not going to resent the fact that she's half as tall and wide as Josuke. just because she can't feel the weight of the bag doesn't mean that it's not cumbersome to tote around - especially since there's cider and chocolate stuffed in there along with the four containers of syrup. she offers it up without argument.]
And I dare you not to get lost when you're driving alone on a fucking mountain road called Diablo Lane in the middle of the night with no street lights. It's not possible!
[so, yes. the answer to that question is exactly what Josuke imagined.]
All mine? You mean that bag is all syrup? Or have you got something else in there?
[Overflowing with curiosity now, Josuke reaches out to take the bag from Hazel. He'll peek down at the contents with big eyes and a smile just as wide, one that is promptly turned upon her.]
You. Are the best.
[The hug he gives her comes without warning and is accompanied by the loud crinkling of the bag between them.]
And brave, too. Not sure I'd wanna travel a road called Diablo Lane in the middle of the night, that sounds a little...too spooky! Like, asking for weird shit to happen kind of spooky. Did weird shit happen?
[she makes a sound of complete surprise as she's suddenly assaulted by hugs, a noise which soon descends into outraged protest. this is defanged more than a little by the fact that not only is she not pushing him off but actually hugging him back, but whatever. that bag's huge, he'll never know and she can just blame everything on bad bag angles if he does.
she intends to answer that second question too, but right now this is taking up her entire thought process. ~*EMOTIONS*~]
[Josuke's feigned shock is accompanied by his arms tightening around Hazel, crushing her closer as her toes are lifted ever so slightly off the concrete and his cheek comes to rest atop her head.]
Whatever, let them stare if they want, but I'm pretty sure they've seen two people hug before.
[The embrace is, perhaps, a little more short-lived than it might have been if they'd had privacy, though. Before long, he's pulling back his coffee and that bag with him, allowing her feet to rest again properly upon the ground, a more appropriate distance once more resumed between them.]
[she rocks back on her heels as he drops her back down, shooting him the biggest, sulkiest expression she can muster up right now. she makes a big show of having to fix her hair and straighten out her clothes before answering, quietly whining under her breath the whole time like a huge baby.]
No, nothing weirder than Vermont people happened while I was there. Which is fucking weird on its own, because that state is apparently haunted out the ass at home.
[she shrugs, pulling at the hem of her shirt again for no good reason.]
You'd think the car would've been packed with envious spirits, but I guess this place just doesn't do spooky.
