first encounter ; 0 days

If there were any luck in the world, Chivason would have been sound asleep by now. He'd had a wonderful dinner — courtesy of sweet, old Mrs. Jann — and he'd eaten enough to be pleasantly drowsy, and then some. To cap it all off, she'd offered him a bed (a bed) and tucked him in as only a grandmother could. He didn't really have much to worry about, still having a few valuables tucked away in his knapsack, enough to cover a few weeks even if she decided to change her mind about letting him stay free-of-charge, and he certainly hadn't been here long enough to need to think about moving on.

Whatever the reason, though, he stayed in bed long enough to need to roll over half a dozen times before he finally gave up. Carefully tucking the blanket back under the pillow, he snagged his knapsack and tiptoed outside. He let his mind drift as he walked, hoping it would help him relax enough to actually sleep. He had liked his last stop, even gone so far as to make a few friends. He should have known better than to try helping Lia find her necklace. She was too excited when she asked him if he would walk with her. He scoffed softly at himself— then tripped, tried to catch himself, and faceplanted in the dirt.

He sniffed absently, leaning his shoulder against the door frame. "Not very long."

"How did you find the key for it?" he asked with a quirked brow.

"Just happened upon it?"

Sefton considered that. "Is that when you just walked off yesterday?"

"Mhmm," Sefton answered absently. He held up the can in his hand. "Found this and a couple others under the floorboards in the kitchen."

Sefton followed Chivy's line of sight, then shrugged. "There's nothing to really wrap it with."

Sighing, he held out the soup can to Chivy. "Eat first. I don't want you working on something when your hands might shake from hunger."
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

Sefton mumbled something, then eased past Chivy to sit on the couch and retrieve his shoes—his socked steps seemed a little louder than they should have, but it could probably be attributed to the acoustics in the abandoned building. He began picking off the flakes of ice instead of putting them on right away.

"They're cold-infused," he explained, while checking the tongue of the right shoe for any hidden, icy surprises. "The rain didn't dry off fast enough last night, so they froze up."

"Didn't think to," he replied simply.

"You think you'll be able to heat it up?" Sefton asked, without looking up from his task.

Sefton shrugged.
