Re: Borrowing the van
This guy was also a doctor, or at least a student. He could help people, so James would take that as friendship right from the start. "It's better than the back. It's kind of wobbly back here," James grinned, climbing into the front. "So this ride isn't yours either."
Did they just steal a van? Borrow it maybe? Did he care? He was still breathing, and other than minor scrapes, uninjured. He never did anything that was out there, or crazy perhaps. This gave him a rush he didn't expect. It was exciting.
Growlie took a spot between them. James reached for the animal to scratch his ears. A snort of smoke was the reply. "Don't mind him. He's very good. He won't light the van on fire or anything. He's a Pokemon. You have weird dreams too, right?" The guy probably wasn't just some passerby. The people involved in the OC randomness were mostly dreamers. It was odd like that.
