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.

"You're still goin' the same direction as I am," Sefton refuted.

Sefton huffed. "Same thing."

He glanced at what Chivy was working on, and frowned in thought. Without giving a straight answer, he held an open palm out. "Let me see."
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

Catching it, Sefton began to fiddle with the colorful toy. "Pretty sure it's supposed to be."

"Yeah," he murmured distractedly. His fiddling was more calculated than Chivy's had been, but it seemed he was having similar difficulties.

Eventually, Sefton managed to get two of the sides to match, but seemed stuck with the rest of it. He half-turned to Chivy and tossed it back, quirking a brow at him while he did so.

"You're still following me."

"You are!"

"But you'll end up at the same place as me if you keep doing it. That's following."

[personal profile] polarization 2009-11-27 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or maybe just leave me alone entirely."

Sefton grumbled to himself. "Don't you have other things to do?"

"What, you didn't just find it?"
