Draco really hadn't wanted to leave the house; he was disconcerted enough as it was by the entire city, by everything that happened, by everything that came to mind. It was like every time he thought of something, his mind conjured four different ways that it could go horribly wrong.

And really, at that moment, his mind was probably right. The closer he got to Flagg, the more he thought that going out at all was a horrid idea in its own right; he didn't even know what the entire reason behind the feeling was, just that it existed and that he wasn't sure what to think of it. He didn't even realise Flagg was there.

Flagg's smile grew as the blond boy approached. Not who he was looking for, but he could taste the discord surging through this fine young man here, and it certainly brightened up a less than successful day.

And there was something here...the divide between the white and the red was carefully tread in this young man, and Flagg could tell he had walked both sides. He wondered how easily he could be pushed.

"Hey, you there!" He gave him a wide smile, crooking a finger in his direction.

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco jumped slightly when he was addressed - he wasn't sure that it was intended for him, but when he saw the man beckoning him over, he was quite sure. The wariness shifted to why at that point, but the blond carefully made his way over.

"Yes?" He asked, raising one brow as he regarded Flagg.

[between18and20]

"What is this place?"

If this boys had been here five minutes, he should know how people came and went. Clearly Flagg didn't need to know what was going on, but it was a quick and easy way to keep his attention and start probing around about him.

[alphaophiuchi]

"What, the city?" Draco felt his mouth curving into a vague sneer;there was a strange sinking feeling, like it was probably a bad idea to be antagonising this man. "First off, nowhere you'd want to just sit on benches in."

[between18and20]

Ah, this kid had just the kind of bent up attitude Flagg loved.

"Is there something particularly wrong with these benches, then?" He stood, looking down at the bench, as if searching for a flaw.

[alphaophiuchi]

"Probably not. They're not bloody cursed objects," he replied dryly. "Though I wouldn't really put it past someone to give that a go. Curse every other bench and see what kind of sick amusement came of it." Because not even Draco would have enjoyed that.

[between18and20]

Well, this kid was just bristling with ideas. And handing them out like free business cards. Rather juvenile ideas, but the mind that went straight to those thoughts was a mind Flagg enjoyed.

"That kinda of things happen a lot around here?"

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco tended to speak without thinking when he was anxious, and Flagg most definitely made him anxious. He still wasn't entirely sure why he was even bothering with conversation at this point, but walking away hadn't yet occurred to him.

"Well, I don't know. Not so far as I've found. But I also don't frequent the benches."

[between18and20]

"Well, benches aren't really the only thing around, are they?"

He swept out his hand, gesturing to the city around him. "There's all sorts of things to be cursed around here."

[alphaophiuchi]

"If that means you're planning on cursing whatever objects you come across, I wouldn't recommend it; I imagine people would be rather...uppity about that sort of thing." He stared a bit widely at Flagg.

[between18and20]

"Uppity, hmmm?" Seems a mild word for it, but it amused Flagg. "So what else gets people around her uppity?"

[alphaophiuchi]

First word to come to mind; forgive his temporarily weak vocabulary. Draco managed a light shrug, glancing over his shoulder. "Well, I don't know. I haven't paid that much attention to it."

[between18and20]

"Have you been here long?"

Flagg reached out with his mind, poking around in the boys head, seeing what there was to see as he kept him occupied with idle chatter.

((OOC- Just put anything he can see, or anything stopping him from seeing in the tag bb <3))

[alphaophiuchi]

"A...while, I suppose. Long enough. Since June-" He paused, letting himself think back that far - back to his first night in Bete Noire, when he barely avoided being mugged and possibly murdered, when he found a bar and simply drank away the inevitable misery that came from being alone in a strange city; there was a flicker of the time he'd spent with De - staying up the entire night fucking - a flicker of Hogwarts, of his classmates, of the Hogwarts Express. And it was then that Draco realised that his mind was being prodded into; he cleared his throat, suddenly bringing back all his lessons of Occlumency, throwing up a wall around his past that he hoped would hold. It had been too long since he'd shielded his mind like that from anyone, and his heart was in his throat that he 'd even had to.

[between18and20]

Flagg was at the same time disappointed and impressed. He might be able to push through the shield, but he didn't want to test that water just yet.

And really, he had gotten quite enough.

"Long time to be trapped here."
