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.

"Maybe for you," Sefton said in retort.
polarization: (〉 'cause to lose all my senses)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton prepared himself to simply sigh as Chivy continued to list out the few traits he knew Sefton possessed, when he heard the last one. Eyes widening, he looked over in surprise. "Wh-what?"
polarization: (〉 see my problem is this)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton shook his head harshly. It made him dizzy, but he couldn't believe someone had actually seen that. "No, I didn't. I..." But he didn't know what to say. He usually didn't make mistakes like that. Sure, he could pin it on being sick and disoriented, but it was still something he shouldn't have allowed to happen.
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-19 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton pulled his legs up, wrapping his good arm around them. He avoided eye contact with Chivy when he replied, "No."
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
After a moment, he agreed with, "No... it shouldn't have."
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
He scoffed in self-derision. "My mystery? ... Sure."
polarization: (〉 i'm dreaming away)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
A curse. Sefton sighed, leaning his cheek against the top of his knees. "My... secret, I guess."
polarization: (〉 i'm not that innocent)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
"What," Sefton asked, peering at Chivy from the odd angle, "do you fancy yourself a detective or something?"
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"You shouldn't bother."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Something like that," he said while trying to ignore Chivy's bubbly attitude.
polarization: (〉 got lost in the game)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Excuse me?" Sefton asked with a scowl.
polarization: (〉 see my problem is this)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-20 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton looked away. "Not for me, it isn't."

"I won't," he said determinedly.
