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.

"When would I?" Sefton asked sardonically. He glanced up at what Chivy was doing and rolled his eyes.
polarization: (〉 by now you should have somehow)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
"I have other things to do." A beat, then he added, "Usually. You're not supposed to hold the ball."
polarization: (〉 walk this empty street)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
"As in, you've never played before?" Sefton asked, a bit amused.
polarization: (〉 i'm not that innocent)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Wonder why." Shoes untied, he grabbed his own pair and slipped them on.
polarization: (〉 got lost in the game)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton's expression turned stormy. "Pass on that."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

"And prickly, if what you say is anything to go by," Sefton replied.
polarization: (〉 where the city sleeps)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Not a people-person."

"It's not 'just the same' if I can say it differently."
polarization: (〉 on the borderline of the edge)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-24 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"It does not," Sefton said, huffing. He grabbed his bag and stood, not really wanting to have this conversation so soon after his game had been cut short.
polarization: (〉 the only one that i have ever known)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-26 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He watched the ball, seeming disinterested in Chivy's question. "Does it matter?"
polarization: (〉 radio's playing all the usual)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-26 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why?" he asked. Since it seemed Chivy wasn't going to mess with it anymore, Sefton approached the ball, lined himself up, and kicked it back toward the net. It didn't go nearly as far as before, for some reason.
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-26 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton looked at Chivy, eyes squinted in confusion. "No...?"
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-26 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Would you stop saying that?" Sefton grumbled. "I don't want you to know things about me."
