[ if jeff seems at all paranoid (and maybe he is, but only the slightest bit), it's because there are people like ghost face out there who will just sit and stalk in silence until they get bored enough to come and plunge a knife into your guts, and while that's... nothing new for either of them, the thought is still unpleasant. even more so outside of trials.
but jeff keeps walking, keeping relatively close to david's side, but leaving enough space to not come off as invasive or weird, and only glances over his shoulder once more, his attention pulled back by david's hand patting his shoulder. he offers a brief smile back.
for a minute or two, jeff's content to let the silence sit between them, no uncomfortable desire to fill it with anything small or useless. eventually, though, he asks: ]
So, uh. You remember who you pissed off?
[ his eyebrows lift almost teasingly, the corner of his mouth pulling slightly up and to one side in the faintest of smirks. ]
Enough to leave me handcuffed in Glenvale? Probably Leon.
[ he says it with a bit of a laugh, like it's just a funny thing between friends. truthfully he can't imagine leon leaving someone on a killer's turf, but if they were drunk, maybe he forgot. ]
To be fair they're usually in their own stores, but honestly you could point to just about any other modern shop and ask why and all I could tell you is capitalism lead us to a weird place.

[ At the edge of camp, not much later, Quentin looks...not bad, if you don't count that it looks like he's wearing someone else's nose. The bridge is crushed in and a little to the side, scrunched nostrils messing pulling or pushing at his lip line in places. He raises his eyebrows instead of smiling when David comes into sight, flicking one hand out to wave. ] Yo.
[ jesus christ. david's not sure anything short of surgery could fix that mess, but he'll break it and see. since apparently that's what they do now. ]
Yeah. [ he raises an eyebrow ] Fell in the woods, huh?
