"Honestly?" Reggie arcs her brows so high they almost disappear into her hair. "You kinda look like the sorta guy they'd take advantage of." She plops her back on the van roof so hard she can almost (but not quite) feel it, and rolls her head to squint up at Bunny. "Like... a nice kid low on options."
Yeah, okay. He can see that one, actually. That explanation tracks. Bunny blinks, logic of the assumption clicking nicely into place and settling better than any sort of neon-sign personality traits he needs to forcefully erase, and lets out an agreeable enough hum.
"Took the other option," he replies. "Incarceration."
"Ohhhhh, I also have strong opinions on the prison system, but it's moooostly a retread of the military yada yada." She swings her hand through the air to illustrate the further extent of the yadas.
"You weren't in when things, like, went," she whistles and points her hand down, down, down toward the van, "were you?"
"Oh, yeah. Like it wasn't too bad or anything?" Meals. Roof. Stable daily routine. The usual advantages for low on options kids. God, yeah. No wonder why people think his ass was in the military. "But as an institution, it's pretty shit."
Bunny tracks the motion of her fingers, lips curling up wryly. That does just about sum it up, huh?
"Nah. Was in a house by then." Luckily. "Bet juvie went to shit, though."
