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.

"Why not just give them to her?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

"Try me," Sefton challenged.
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
"You just... find them," he repeated. "Just like that? All of it?"
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
"All of your... stuff. You have a lot, don't you?"
polarization: (〉 i'm not that innocent)

Sefton followed his gaze, then turned to regard Chivy once more. "It sounds to me like you've got a knack for it."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton closed his eyes, briefly. Did Chivy really not know what he was getting at? "You know, a knack. Something you're good with. Adept at, you could say."
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"'You guess'?"
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Sefton agreed, somewhat softly. "You're just lucky."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

Sefton nodded, checking his elbow once again to see that the bleeding had stopped. Too bad the rest of him still ached from whatever he was coming down with coupled with the falling-off-the-couch thing. "I do."
polarization: (〉 i'm not that innocent)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Nodding, he shifted back up against the couch and placed his arm on top of his knee.
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-11 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Sore," he said pointedly while scooting a small distance away.
polarization: (〉 'cause to lose all my senses)

He was a bit surprised by the offer. Chivy rarely let up on doing things like this, and seemed to refuse the idea that Sefton could do it on his own. After a moment, he asked, "How?"
