ㅤwith a spin on his heels, he’d jump off the ground into a back flip to once again fling the ball back.

ㅤlanding on his feet, smile wide - only to pause, features fading with a furrowing brow. unapparent as to why.

ㅤstopping the ball with a chest bump, juggling it between his skates before swiftly returning it to the bounty hunter with another kick.
ㅤ

ㅤ
ㅤWHA — aye, erro !!

ㅤ( allowing the ball to bounce away, rolling past him as he’d frantically skate over. hands hesitant to simply grab the girl to stop the rotations. )

ㅤ” yah know, i’ve learned a lot while jammin’ and livin’ in rio — and one o’ those things was not to let those kinda thoughts get to yah. “

ㅤdragging the undergrad along until he’d pull away from him, flipping and dropping into a bean bag chair.
