"Indeed it is! Are you moving here?"
"I, um—well, I need to find a friend. Right now, I mean. But maybe—maybe when I'm done—"
Smooth, Colton.
"Where are you from?"
"Oh, The—City."
"Well, always nice to see a new face around. My name's Arthur. You're...?"
"Colton."
"Golly. Well, welcome to Apricot Bay, Colton."
"T-thanks. I was—expecting more dirty people."
Arthur's head tilts, and he looks a bit taken aback, honestly. It takes you a minute to realize what you said, and when you do, you panic.
"—NONONONONONONO SORRY sorry sorry I didn't—I didn't mean it like that—t-there was a guy on the train—"
"Colton, it's fine. Nothing City people don't say about us anyway."
You let out a little whimper. You're not sure why you bothered.
"...Least you know we're not now," he says with a smirk. "Have a great day!"
