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.

"What does that mean?" he asked irritatedly. Wrapping his arm while sore and tired was distracting, and with Chivy nearby, he was even more scattered than usual.

"I—" Sefton huffed, almost insulted by that. Whatever. He knew it wasn't in his nature to be a complete jerk, which is why he usually went with being overly distant instead. To try and change the subject, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

"Why?"

He finished wrapping his arm up as best he could, and sat back against the couch, leaning away from Chivy.
polarization: (〉 'cause to lose all my senses)

Sefton simply leaned farther back, staring at Chivy in confusion. "What?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-18 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't..." Sefton trailed off, wondering how to say it. Then, he decided to just say it like it was. "I don't keep a lot of things."

"Because it is," Sefton said, ignoring the look.
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton shrugged. "Aside from essentials?" And his CD player, which seemed more like a way to pass time than something that actually mattered to him. "... no."

"Easily enough." Sefton looked away, uncomfortably.

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Giving Chivy a suspicious look, he responded with, "Why?"
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"I—wait. Not allowed?" he repeated incredulously.
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton huffed quietly and looked away. Just when it seemed like he wouldn't answer, he mumbled, "Purple."

"Any shade," he said in another of his mumbles. More honestly, he preferred lighter, but Chivy's reaction was enough to let him know it was already something he hadn't been expecting.
