This was nice. Almost like he could attach himself to someone, if just for a moment. Roger had withdrawn, sure, and he had a good reason to, but Mark? Mark just hides behind his work. This, though--it's stupid, but he really likes this.
Mark is opinionated, even if it's sometimes the wrong ones--there's a reason him and Maureen dated for so long. He begins to pedal, taking the usual side ways and alleys, cutting off a few cars in the process as they begin to move to the better neighborhood. The difference between him and Maureen is that Mark's opinion changes.
CHAOS is a perfect example.
He stays quiet for the most part--it's rush hour, now, there's a lot of obstacles to avoid--and it's only when they're back at the park and Mark slows down that he speaks.
"Before you go, here. A friend of mine and Roger's is putting on a spoken word night at the Life Cafe--you know, where we met? You should come." He's digging around his bag, now. Camera, pen and paper, a huge mess and what looks to be a scarf (why a scarf in summer, no one knows) before he pulls out a flier for Maureen's event.
"It's actually an open mic night, but she's normally there. You should come. I mean--you should be off work if you're not busy, and I'll definitely be there."
