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.

His grip tightened minutely around the broom. "S'not my thing."

"Wanting stuff I don't need or can't have." In other words, hoping for anything to change.

"Just go buy your bag," Sefton replied defensively. This was not the sort of conversation he wanted to get into, especially with Chivy.

"Why are you so..." Obsessed? Sefton shook his head. Bad word to use. "... fixated on this?"

"Because it's my business, and you're sticking your nose into it."

"So? It's my choice not to tell you stuff if I don't want to." He paused. "And you still haven't answered why. Looks like you're not exactly keen on practicing what you preach." Which was perfectly fine with Sefton.

"I am not," Sefton insisted quietly.

"I'm not your friend," he clarified, a bit annoyed that he had to do so.
polarization: (〉 but it's only me)

Sefton stared at him for a long time. "Wouldn't you rather have a friend who cared?" he asked, turning back to stare at the floor.

Swish, swisha, swish.

"Go buy your bag," Sefton gritted out.

"Nothing," Sefton said. "That's my answer." Whether it was true or not was another matter entirely. "Now just go."
polarization: (〉 by now you should have somehow)

"So...? Not like he's got it now."
