Physical contact was strange, Lawr couldn't erase that thought from his mind, it had been a long time since anyone had so much as brushed against him by mistake let alone held his hand. Just his cats. Normally the reminder that contact meddled with his psychic resonance was enough to keep people at bay. Most of his "customers" were reserved little old ladies regardless. Still, complaining about the oddness would only make Al more wary of him, so he kept his mouth shut for the time being.
Curiously he watched Al rummaging with some rocks, raising a brow at his small stash of items.
It had been a good few years since he last saw a packet of monster munch - though he wasn't supposed to know about them at all, he was supposed to be American - so he did what he did best, and lied.
"Yes please, what are they?"

Al popped the first bite with a muffled crunch before he held the packet open to Lawr. Small puffs of claw-shaped crisps greeted the man. "They are little pieces of awesome," Al described unhelpfully.
Inside the hole resided a few other small crisp packets, a biscuit tin, violin strings, small trinkets and toys. He didn't reach inside again just yet.
"Say, Jan? What do you like to do for fun?"

Lawr nimbly took one of the crisps with surprising co-ordination, he had the fingers of a piano player and had specialised in slight of hand for years. He ate his prize thoughtfully, Butch still snoring in his thoughts, and without the oppressive desires of the mostly canine weapon, he was able to enjoy it.
"Those are indeed awesome." he echoed. "Are they from somewhere specific?" He had picked up on Al's accent when he first met him, and for whatever reason, the fact that the boy was from the UK had always set him a little on edge.

"I bought them from home with me. From Scotland," Al confirmed without meaning to. He smiled and then suddenly looked confused. "Wait. Um. You didn't... what do you like to do for fun?"

"Ah Scotland." And repeating what he'd heard people say a million times he asked. "Is that near Ireland?"
Al's insistence on his question rendered it non-avoidable, and he shrugged his shoulders. "I mostly commune with the spirits when I get free time. Tarot cards, rune stones etcetera. I have to stay on top form to be able to communicate with the spirits of the world unhindered."
He looked a little more grim. "Of late however, I have mostly been trying to sleep where I can."

Al set his jaw and gave Lawr a look of annoyance, "No. Not even."
Al's annoyance subsided at what Lawr described as something he did for fun. "That sounds pretty cool, I've not um. Seen any of that stuff before." He sighed carefully and grabbed the juice boxes. He carefully stabbed the one with apples on the box with his straw before taking a sip.
"Is it as cool as it sounds?"

"Depends on how you define "cool" I'm afraid. Telling the future and past history can be a double edged sword. Being able to communicate with animals however is a delight." Animals that weren't whatever butch was at least. "My gems were what saved me to make it this far and my tarot cards predicted my fate long before I got here. It all depends on how much you want to know the future."
If he'd known he'd end up here, he wasn't sure what he'd have done with the knowledge.

"So... you can talk to ******** lizards and bugs and s**t?" Al raiiiised a brow at Lawr while slurping noisily from his juicebox.

Lawr nodded, though made a face at Al swearing. "Yes. Anything for the most part, if it has a spirit, I can commune with it. From people to, as you say, reptiles and birds. Many very influential people used to pay me to help them with their myriad creatures or request private consultations about their future."

"Sorry I don't have any pets to offer you. Just... well, Nuru is not a pet." He gestured at the collar-style bracelet. "Think you can tell my fortune or whatever instead?" He raised both brows at Lawr hopefully.
