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.

Sefton rolled his eyes, then held a hand out for the wrapping.
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

He took it and began to try and wrap his elbow back up. "What?"
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
'Try' was about the best way to describe it, seeing as Sefton was mostly going off of what Chivy had done previously, and what he figured would be practical.

"That's not it," he replied after a moment. "My name is fine. I just don't like giving it out."
polarization: (〉 see my problem is this)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
He frowned to himself at the wording, but refused to rise to the bait. "I... can't."
polarization: (〉 i made you believe)

"If I did that," Sefton said quietly, and only got quieter as he continued, "you'd probably turn me over to the police or something."
polarization: (〉 got lost in the game)

Sefton stared at him for a moment before violently shaking his head—and making himself horribly dizzy in the process. He took a short moment to sort himself out, then, "No!"

"Because..." Sefton took a deep breath, and shook his head more calmly this time. "I can't."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton rolled his eyes, returning to his attempt at bandaging. "That defeats the point of my..." He paused, then figured why not, "... rules."

"It's better for everyone involved if they don't," he insisted.
polarization: (Default)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
"That's not going to happen."
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
"And I wish you weren't," he said, sincerity in his voice, but also a hint of insecurity.
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Depends on your definition," he said carefully.
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-12 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Usually," he agreed, attempting to sound neutral.
