Wandering

Welcome to downtown Atlanta. It is currently 95 degrees and sunny on this bright, beautiful, hot as hell afternoon, and that heat doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon, let alone by the end of the day. Which is probably at least five hours away anyway. It's summer, after all...

Despite the heat, Abe was grinning ear to ear. There's so much to do in a city, why shouldn't he be excited? Never mind he'd seen most of it before, that didn't matter when you took into account the amount of new attractions that could be around here somewhere if you just knew where to look. Somehow, he'd gotten his cousins to join him on this journey through the city, park to park, looking for things to do. He was glad for the company, but they could be a little more excited about this at least, couldn't they?

He turned to give them a mock-put-upon look, trying to get them to stop lagging behind. He then made a show of tapping his foot and waiting on them to catch up. One of them could see it fully well. The other would just have to pick up on the act from his very audible, very exaggerated sigh. The next park was only another block. Couldn't they go a little faster? They could stop then. Really. Ignoring he'd promised that the last two parks...

Markham moved a little closer, his focus widening to include the other people in the park. He still wasn't okay with the girl, but it wasn't worth starting a fight with Abe (at the moment), and he knew someone would get his attention if he needed to be paying attention to the conversation. If Abe hadn't been so obviously set on being open and friendly, he would have asked if he was the only one who thought there was something off, but for now he would wait and see if some kind of reason presented itself. For all he knew, it was just the heat messing with him — there was certainly enough of it to go around.
