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.

Sefton would have asked which issue Chivy meant, but decided he didn't want to encourage him. "Not sure."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

"'m fine," Sefton said. He paused. "You know what I mean."
polarization: (〉 by now you should have somehow)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-05 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton scoffed. "I'll be a good boy and stay put. Promise."

"Do whatever," Sefton dismissed. Exhaling quietly, he leaned back into the seat and closed his eyes.

It seemed the boy had stretched out across the two seats in his sleep, but when Chivy approached, he made no movement.

Sefton simply pulled the blanket over his head, grumbling in discontent.
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-05 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
He grumbled. "Do we gotta?"
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-05 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a curious statement, so Sefton reluctantly pulled the blanket off his face to squint up and see what Chivy had. "... food?"

For a moment, Sefton simply continued to squint, trying to make out what Chivy had in his hands. Then he sat up, rubbing at one of his eyes while he did. He moved up onto his knees to grab at one of the hot dogs and sodas, while painstakingly avoiding any physical contact with Chivy.

"It's fine," Sefton mumbled. He sat back down on the seat, picking at the bun of the hot dog more than actually eating it yet. "You can put the fries down, though."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-05 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
His hand halted its movement, and then he slumped a little. "'m gonna eat it."

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-05 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He shook his head. "That's not it."

"Nothing." He scowled and began tweaking the end of the hot dog, sullenly ripping a piece off entirely before pushing it into his mouth.
