[ Jefferson didn't seem at all surprised by Dave's sudden appearance. The way he'd grabbed his sleeve just made him smile down at the boy, but the second he let go he went back to pretending it hadn't happened. That's how he'd want it. The sight of his arm and Airy's interlocked gave him a reason to keep smiling, though. ]

I had a feeling it was.

[ He maybe paid attention to clothes too much. ]

Is this going to start a discussion where you both say you don't know continuously?

[aurabble]

[Jaune had just been observing, somewhat removed from the crowd. He casually eats some popcorn while he tries to talk himself into approaching the three. He knew Jefferson knew Dave, but...Airy?

Then again, Dave knows Airy. So maybe that's how Jefferson knows her? He isn't even sure, but it saves them from introductions.

It's just three people. Not a big deal. He catches snippets of their conversation and works up the courage to approach them, throwing away what's left of his popcorn.]

There's games. Or we could go on a ride.

[ There we go. Everyone's smiling. (Well, he's not. He goes as far as a half-little-smirk though. That's close enough.) No time for moping here. He looks at Airy about to do as Jefferson was predicting where he'd also say "I don't know" and so on and so on. But then Jefferson pointed it out so he just snaps his mouth shut. ]

And here we have John preventing that endless loop. [ ... ] Jaune. 'Sup, Jaune? [ He's shifting to steal one of Jaune's free arms with the one Dave doesn't have looped around Airy's. Does he even know him that well? Nah. But this is hilarious. ]

Yeah. Ride. I'm down for the ride part. ...I've gotta get someone to spot me with two babes on my arms. Jeff, take a picture.

[imaginationswoes]

I don't know. [It's her first reply to Jefferson before smiling at Jaune. She doesn't care if he already pointed it out.] Oh hi Jaune... you know Dave and Jeff too? [Not that she's really surprised. Jefferson seems to adopt all the kids and Dave is... Dave. Airy's pretty sure he's everywhere at once sometimes just for the fun of it.]

[She leans forward to look at Jaune.]

Hear that? We get to be Dave's babes. [This is just ridiculous and Airy can't help but smile. Her family always has a way to cheer her up.] We should go to the tilt-a-whirl.

[ Jefferson shook his head and laughed at what both of them had to say. Hearing Jaune's voice was a surprise but one he was rather happy about. It was good to see him out and about without needing the excuse of alcohol.

... that night had been a disaster. ]

Looks like I don't have to worry about introducing anyone.

[ Which seemed right. Airy was everyone's friend. Dave seemed to know ever person in the universe. He didn't have much of a clue about how Jaune was before, but considering the times his excitement shined through he could imagine he was probably pretty talkative to people at one point.

And again he was laughing, the antics already going on making him grin far too much. He pulled out his device and held it in their direction but ended up pausing. He kind of wanted to be in the picture too. How did Dave always do that selfie thing? He put up a hand to signal to wait a second while he moved closer, but he decided to duck down a bit so the trio were the focus. He just had to hold it at a good angle, right? Hopefully.

Snap.

The result made him laugh even harder, so he pawned the phone off on Jaune as he covered his face with his now free hand. He could be the one to show them how silly it had turned out. ]

[aurabble]

Dave. [Before Jaune can correct Dave, he's already corrected himself and his arm is looped with his. He stares, completely bewildered; he doesn't mind it, it just catches him off guard. He decides it probably shouldn't. His mouth twitches into a small smile aimed at Airy. It's hard not to smile around her.] Wait, so the other babe was--oh. Wow.

Tilt-a-whirl sounds good.

[He nods at Jefferson as if to telepathically communicate not to talk about that night they had been drunk.]

Are you trying to take a selfie...? [Is that what he's doing? It's nice seeing Jefferson laugh and seem genuinely happy, so he doesn't care how the picture turns out. He fidgets a little while he waits and then takes the phone before nearly dropping it while he laughs. It's soft, like he's trying to hide it. Arm still looped with Dave's, he shows it to him and Airy once he's calmed down.]

[stairsbro]

[ Dave huffs a breath that might have been a laugh at Jefferson's selfie taking then smirks at the picture once Jaune shares it with the rest of them. ] Fucking beautiful. We look like assholes.

[ He waits until the phone gets back to the rightful owner or Jaune gets a better hold of it before he starts moving forward, leading the two people he's stealing an arm of along in tilt-a-whirl direction ]

Come along, assholes. We're going on a fucking twisty chair.

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy peers at the picture, it'll be a happy memory.] Wow, we really do. [She sounds genuinely surprised as she agrees with Dave's sentiment.]

Okay.

[She won't protest to being pulled along though having her arm looped so closely to Dave makes her stumble a little as she tries to keep up. She leans back and shouts at Jefferson.] Come on! [Since he is the only one not in the Dave-babe's arm holding.]

Hey Jaune, how do you know Jefferson? [She assumes he knows Dave because Dave knows everyone.]
