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.

"If I tell you where I'm going, you're going to follow me, aren't you?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

Sefton simply stared at him. He didn't seem particularly amused.
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-26 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"How about you show me one person you trust?" asked Sefton, hoping to call the kettle black.
polarization: (〉 on the borderline of the edge)

For a moment, Sefton failed to respond. He scowled and said, "You're kidding. What have I ever done to make you trust me?"
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
"'Maybe'?" Sefton asked sourly.
polarization: (〉 but it's only me)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-27 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton suddenly raced toward the ball and gave it a swift kick right into the net. He left his leg in the air for a moment, before slowly lowering it. His back to Chivy, he replied, "I can't. There's no one. So just... give it up, Chivy."

"You don't want to get involved with me," he said seriously. "I'm not the kind of person you think I am."
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-27 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
"You are dumb," Sefton huffed.
polarization: (〉 i walk alone)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-27 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Taking a deep breath, Sefton prepared himself. "I'm dangerous, all right?! Hanging around so much just puts you at more and more risk and I wish—" He cut off, reigning himself in before he said anything else. After a moment, he finished with, "I wish you'd just stop it."
polarization: (〉 but it doesn't mean that i'm serious)

Sefton's shoulders shook, once, before slumping entirely. "'s something wrong you with you," he said quietly.

"Definitely is," he asserted. "Are you that desperate?"
polarization: (〉 got lost in the game)

Sefton paused, then turned to finally look at Chivy again. He didn't say anything, but the scowl was enough.
