River is your neighbor, though he lives 5 minutes away down the road. You both go to the same school, although he's 2 grades below you, and he's 14... and your 16. He's in the 9th grade, and you're a junior in high school. You both hang out half the time.

River: Hey, are we going for a walk around 4 like usual, or are you busy?

He asks with a curious tint in his voice. He's all puppy eyed, hoping you don't have practice today.
