It's become habit, at this point.
Habits can be broken if you want it bad enough.
Yes. Now that I've realized it is one.
Hello, I'm Peter.
Hello, I'm Peter.
Very cool.
[Bart closed the distance in the blink of an eye, appearing suddenly before the guy, holding out a hand.]
Bart. Nice to meet ya!

Bart. Nice to meet ya!
[That wasn't startling at all. Except it was extremely surprising and he takes a solid step back, right hand going toward his left hip out of some ingrained muscle memory, before his brain catches up. At which point he turns it into meeting the handshake.]
And you, Bart. What habit is it you're breaking? Or have broken?
[...He'll get around to suddenly in his face, once his brain stops skidding.]

[Bart carefully shakes his hand, doing his best to keep his own hand movements slow as to not break the guys wrist.]
Used to be a uh, well kinda a thief. Never got caught, and then I met CK and the big guy helped me turn it around. Now i'm a freaking superhero!

[Peter has another wrist, but he's rather fond of both of them being unbroken, so thank you, Bart. He blinks, slowly.]
It's certainly a more impressive habit to break than being unnecessarily introverted. You met whom?

Was more a matter of necessity before, but got myself a good job and now I'm rolling in burritos! Well...not literally.
Oh CK is a friend who is like me, only slower and less ruggedly handsome!

I could not possibly be more lost.
How is he like you then? What is your job, literally?

Hey now worries, I get lost all the time...end up running in circles till I find something I recognize!
Oh, well uh...I'm fast. He is too, but not nearly as fast as me! And I'm a courier.
Oh, well uh...I'm fast. He is too, but not nearly as fast as me! And I'm a courier.
I didn't mean literally, but I suppose it's a good metaphor, regardless.
That sounds like a very good job for you. Do you like it?

Oh, gotcha! So how are you felling lost then? I do tend to ramble on rapidly so if you can't keep up just say the word and I can slow down a bit.
I freaking love it! Fresh air, money to by new kicks and all the tasty treats I can eat...and best of all, I'm a lock for employee of the month!

I think I've caught onto the general idea, now, but thank you.
That's quite the change. You should be very proud of yourself; you've done well.

[Bart grinned as he nodded in agreement.]
Had a lot of help and some awesome friends to get me set on the right path, so I can't go taking all the glory! Anyway what about you big guy, how are you fixing to break your habit?

...Big guy? [Bemused.]
I'm talking to you, aren't I?
I'm talking to you, aren't I?
Yeah, you know...big guy, bud...just terms for a cool kid!
[He chuckled as he looked around the area and smiled again. He wasn't sure where he had ended up and time travel always left him feeling a little wonky.]
Fair enough, still not sure what habit it is your dealing with!

I'd really rather you just call me Peter. If you don't mind.
The habit? Not talking to people.

Cool man, Peter it is then!
Gotta say you seem to be doing just fine bud. So uh, where are we anyway? And more importantly is there anywhere to grab a bite to eat round here?

Yes, well, we'll see how long it takes before I bore you to tears.
I'm from London, and there are a dozen of places to eat. What would you like?

Hey no worries, my attention span may be short but I doubt you'll bore me.
[Bart looked around and scratched his head as he considered what he was hungry for.]
Chinese sounds great right bout now...if you can point me in the direction of China I can grab us some lunch or something! Dumplings, rice, and some orange chicken would freaking hit the spot bout now.

[He squints up to the sky, and finds then sun, then points back the direction it would have risen.] That way.
[The kid smiled slightly and suddenly disappeared as he moved with imperceptible speed. It took a minute or two before Bart reappeared carrying a large sac filled with still hot containers of food.]
So uh, hope you're hungry Peter...
[He chuckled as he disappeared once more and appeared behind his new friend, sitting on the ground with all the containers set for the meal.]

I'm not actually, but at the rate you're expending energy I'm sure you'll manage just fine. [He's used to the disappearing and reappearing now, just turns around and sits.]
[Bart nodded and tore into the food, and seconds later it was all gone and he was grinning.]
Gotta love decent take out!
