He's just about feeling back to himself again. The dread's receded and the relived euphoria's ebbed now, as well. And now he's talking to a middle-aged chap who, in the world's most earnest tones, just tried to use the word twerk.
Spike grins, face lighting up. "Look at you! Twerking, mate. Miley Cyrus, though. Not Taylor Swift."
He decides to chance letting the dog sniff him, to see if it will tolerate petting. As he settles on the bench seat, extending a cautious hand in the vicinity of Bear's muzzle- but not crowding him, he doesn't fancy having any fingers snapped by those jaws- he says, "Taylor Swift is a ...sort of country/pop girl power icon. She does songs like Shake it Off and Mean."
Now that he's said it, he reckons Taylor Swift might not sound bad as a punk cover. "You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again..."
He glances over to see if there's any recognition on Finch's face at the song, lets it trail off to silence with a grin and shrug. "No? What sort of music do people in networking and data base management listen to, then?"
