[ it does sound "nuts". adam glances up from the soggy candy heart in the grass to look at the strange addressing him, tongue idly pushing at the roof of his closed mouth in a poor attempt to chase the chalkiness away. he looks at iggy unblinking for a few solid moments, his gaze wandering from the mess of glitter in his hair to the colorful bangles looped around his wrist, very open in the way he looks him over.
eventually, his eyes, big and blue and seemingly a little irritated around the edges, lift to find iggy's, and finally, he blinks.
he doesn't think there's anything appealing about the conversation hearts at all, at least not for the purpose of consumption, so he subtly offers them to iggy by turning his hand out with the remaining two still in his palm. ]
Nostalgia, [ he repeats back to him, his tone close to deadpan. the corners of his mouth turns downward slightly, briefly, disapproving of the filmy texture still coating his tongue. ] For blackboard chalk.
[ not a question. just trying to make sense of why anyone would willingly purchase and eat something so unappetizing, but then again, he doesn't like much of anything that isn't fruit, so. maybe he's a little biased.
after another beat, he simply adds: ] ... Adam. Hello.
