Welkram tucked his paws into his pockets, playing with his switchblade in one concealed paw. He walked casually down the dock, not looking around at anycat or anything.

Whistling to himself, Alonzo strolled down the other way, cats in the distance blurring in the half light of dusk. He almost ran into another tom and jerked back. "Sorry, sorry," he said quickly.

Welkram had been in mid-step to avoid the other when the other cat leaped back. The tall tom considered continuing on his walk and ignoring the other cat entirely, but he was feeling a bit more social than normal. And what could be the harm?
"Not a problem," Welkram said quietly as he paused in his stride.

"Lighting, you know?" Alonzo offered, wariness kicking in when he got a good look at the other tom and a sense for how they moved. "Plays, um, havoc with the eyes."

"Yes," Welkram replied carefully, his own near black eyes glancing around him as though seeing his surroundings for the first time.

Alonzo swallowed. "Well, can I help you with anything then?" he asked cautiously, Irish accent leaking into his voice more than usual.

"Perhaps," Welkram replied vaguely. His eyes truly looked at the other for the first time, scanning over the slightly shorter tom before fixating on his eyes.

"P-perhaps?" Alonzo asked in surprise. "Um, what then?" he asked, constant need to be helpful warring with what he was sure that torbie tom would call healthy paranoia.

"I'm not sure yet," Welkram stated calmly, his tail lazily swishing behind him. A small hint of an empty grin took to the edges of his mouth as he spoke up again. "I'll let you know when I figure it out, Mister....?"

"O'Neal," Alonzo replied automatically and floundered. "B-but I need to get to work so there's not much time for you to-to think about something like that."

"Something like what, Mr. O'Neal?" Welkram said as a flash flickered over his eyes for the briefest of moments. He pause for a moment before shifting his weight and studying Alonzo's face for a long moment. "Tell me, Mr. O'Neal, what is your first name?"

"Like me bein' of any help," Alonzo replied, taking a solid step backward. "And why should I g-give you my first name if you ain't given me any name?"

"Welkram," He offered as he regarded the other's choice to back away. "And I'm sure I can I find something for you to help me with, eventually, Mr. O'Neal."

"I ain't sure that was a long term offer," Alonzo replied quickly. "Just a, if I can help you right now, like, find your way. I-I need to get myself to work."

"'Find my way'?" Welkram echoed and paused for a brief moment. "I believe I could use your assistance in finding my way, yes, Mr. O'Neal."
