Jon wandered the streets of New York on his own, just killing time. He didn't venture out much, but today he decided that grading papers would be much more fun off campus than stuck in his room for another night. Then again, it also didn't help that both Deus and Ros were both out of commission for the night, not that he really minded...or did he?
Jon shrugged off such thoughts, to be honest, Ros was really was just his friend. Did he feel jealous, sure a little, but meh, this wasn't the time for such things. He was going to be leaving the school shortly, kinda pointless to tie oneself down now isn't it.
Yeah, he went with that reasoning.
But still, he figured it'd be nice to get out and about tonight. It was a nice night, and he finally didn't have a stack of term papers to grade for Professor Summer's classes, just a few workbook problems he had them do. After he was done with those he had to go over Professor Magnus' lesson plans again though, which would be...amusing to say the least.

After meandering for about an hour, Jon pulled up a seat on a bench and tossed his bag next to him. Rummaging through it, he pulled out the lesson planner Magnus had left for him, and began to scan what he needed to do tomorrow.
"Ooooh, we're starting World War One, this should finally get them at least somewhat interested," he said aloud to no one in particular. Then again, there weren't many people on the streets, but it was somewhat late on a weeknight. If it wasn't for the fact he was pretty confident about his powers, Jon likely wouldn't have gone out alone, but then, he wasn't exactly someone bullies targeted.
Without thinking, he levitated a pencil over to him, though it looked inocuous enough the average pedestrian likely wouldn't notice. He then began to take notes from the textbook about things he would want to hit on in tomorrow's class, before deciding that maybe a cup of coffee would really come in handy right now.
So, packing up, he headed across the street and picked up a cup from a street vendor, then headed back to his bench.

When Jon would open the lesson planner again he'd notice that the first page has been ripped out. Minky had decided that page would be the one!!! He had stole it in his speedy fashion and was now behind the bench whistling The Sailor's Hornpipe as he folds and creases and folds, and then voila!!!! He has a paper Captain's hat which he places regally upon his little black head.

Jon realizes the first page is missing, and was glad there really wasn't anything important on that particular page...though he still had no idea where it we-
That's when he heard the humming, and looked behind the bench.
"Ha! Found ya," he says, not even slightly annoyed at the monkey. Then something clicked, "wait, I remember you...you're that monkey from the park...Minky right?"

"Great Minky to you!!!!" He climbs up onto the back of the bench pointing at Jon. The paper hat flops forward into his face when the wind blows. In the ensuing commotion of trying to get it back on right Minky ends up falling off the back of the bench onto the seat of it. Of course he's on his back and the hat floats down to cover his face.

"I apologize Great Minky," said Jon, helping the monkey sit up "as an apology, I offer you this cup of coffee." He placed the styrofoam cup on the bench between them before picking up his pencil again.
"Hope you enjoy it."

"ooooooo?" He inspected the cup warily and then sniffs the coffee. Then, satisfied it is not poisoned and is indeed coffee, the monkey takes said coffee and drinks and drinks and drinks... and chugs and drinks and chugs until his little belly is distended. Afterward the had just seems to be on his head, though there was the sound of the wind rushing around the little limbs.

"It's not the best stuff," says Jon, watching the monkey drink, "but is it an acceptable offering to the great Minky?"
Things were going well. Sure the two were getting weird looks from passerby's, but Jon really didn't care anymore. He had someone to chat with, and to keep his mind off all the crap he was dealing with back at the mansion.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..........." Did he just go around the corner? "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As he bounces off of Jon's leg. It's a good thing the monkey doesn't have a lot of mass and had been slowing down, otherwise that would have hurt both of them something fierce. So maybe giving Minky the Great coffee wasn't the best idea...

Jon raised an eyebrow to Minky's antics, but then sorta shrugged them off and went back to work for a moment. Then he realized that at this rate, Minky might get into a lot more trouble than Jon might be able to fix.
Which meant he had to try and keep the hyperactive monkey in some sort of check...
"Hey Minky? You hungry?"

"Ummm...... no?" He seemed genuinely confused, while also urinating into someone's open, but barred, basement window. Apparently coffee ran through him about as quickly as he runs through the city. His wee distended tummy slowly shrinks back to its normal size. When he's done he lopes on over to the bench and climbs up onto the back again. He grabs the paper hat which had fallen and places it regally upon his head.

"Alright then," he says, "worth asking."
Jon then stands up, and hefts his pack. It was getting a bit late, and he thought maybe it was time to head back to the mansion. But he also couldn't leave this guy all alone.
"Wanna go for a walk then?"

"Okies!" The little monkey jumps up onto Jon's arm and then clambers up to perch on his shoulder. While he was still jittery he'd rather ride on someone's shoulder than walk. Even though he could move much faster on his own.

Jon began to wander through New York for a while, chatting with Minky as he went, "So, where are you from?" he asks the monkey after a while.

"Lava Tree... After Minky get out Minky live everywhere. Minky born in Lava Tree, in cage. Minky run away, fast. Sun twists not catch! Never catch!" He nods and bounces as he talks. "You?"
