No, nothing like that. Just more ... I had people I could reach out to if needed. I mean, I can likely still reach out to them but can't ask them to go round for a pint.
( He smiles, his thinking exactly. He holds his hand out. There's room for a phone in it, unless he goes analog and pulls out something lawyerly, like a pad. )
[He reaches into his jacket pocket, pulling out his personal phone - double checks to make sure it's the personal phone - before passing it over for him to put in his contact in.]
Good. I do have a busy job so it may mostly be texting.
( Luke puts his number in, pulling his own out so he can call it. Despite them being on the Subway, Luke's phone rings and he turns it to face Robin.
ending the call, he clicks the number her called to add his own information to Robin's. he hesitates a second to make sure he does want it before giving his information over. )
[He does catch the hesitation (10), but he doesn't know what to read into this. He figures that if he gets sent to a wrong number, he got the wrong idea. But it's probably not a conversation to have on the subway.
He takes his phone back with a smile when he's done. Then his station is announced and he blinks.]
And unfortunately that's me. But talk later, yeah?
[But with that, the doors open and he steps off, going to head back home where Maud is waiting, and will likely roast him for meeting a boy on the subway.]

My sister got into NYU and we both decided we could use a fresh start, as it were. Are you a local?

( Parker siblings are always cagey with their backgrounds. Oregon is a no when you're just meeting someone. )
How are you liking it?

[He reaches up to rub at the back of his neck.]
Currently I've been studying for the bar, but once that's done I'll make friends not from work, I suppose.
no subject
( Are they known there? )
The legal bar?

No, nothing like that. Just more ... I had people I could reach out to if needed. I mean, I can likely still reach out to them but can't ask them to go round for a pint.
[He nods to the second question though.]
And yes, the legal bar.

( He can see that. )
Friendships, up for grabs.

The people I work with have been lovely, truly. But a lot of what we have to talk about is work, and sometimes you need to talk about something else.

( For example. )

It helps when chatting up equally handsome strangers on the tube.

( He ducks his head, too, leaning forward, his smile forming with ease. )

[See how smooth that was? Totally smooth. Maybe his game isn't as rusty as he thought.]
no subject
I think I can do that.

Yeah. Please. You have my number now. You should use it.
