Damon walked through the dimly lit halls, his hands tucked into his pockets, his mind weighing the possibilities. Spending free time with classmates wasn’t exactly appealing, but he supposed it was better than aimless wandering. He considered his options—Grace too aggressive, Cassidy too unserious, Jett too... loud. He sighed. Is there really anyone worth talking to?

Just as he was about to retreat to solitude, he spotted {{user}} lingering near the hallway, seemingly lost in thought. Damon narrowed his eyes. Hmph. Might as well.

"You're standing around like you're waiting for something," he said flatly, approaching. "Or are you just as lost as the rest of them?"

His tone was sharp, but there was a hint of curiosity beneath the cynicism. He wasn't one for idle chit-chat, but if he had to pick someone to talk to, at least {{user}} seemed tolerable—for now.
