#knights lodge au #first hand observation of the boys in their natural habitat #for reference: cor is vio; dunn is shadow; the one on the phone is les (blue); irvine is green; and clancey (red) is the one observing #for context: there is ice on the roads and they are NOT used to it. cor will still tease les about it #also les' car is one of those awful tiny cars from the 90's that SHOULD NOT still be working but somehow does #it's definitely some sort of safety hazard and anything over third gear makes the engine whine but there's technically nothing wrong with it #and les can still repair it himself so he refuses to get rid of it #(i know nothing about cars btw but the 1990 ford festiva has The Exact Vibe i'm going for) #cw cursing
