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.

Or fate could sell him out for a cheap laugh. Grouchily, he shifted to turn away from Chivason and replied, "No."

He pulled his headphones down to hang around his neck and tilted his head to give the kid a mostly-hidden look. "One word is talkative?"
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Not really." Not that he had bothered looking, opting instead to save what money he had for other necessities.

"And I'm thinking five words is 'quiet' for you."
polarization: (〉 the only one that i have ever known)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-07 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Mhmm," he replied, somewhat resignedly.

Sefton frowned. "No," he said slowly. Then, came out with, "Are you following me or something?"

Sefton shook his head. "That wouldn't work." Finally, he turned to give Chivy a more considerate angle. "You've always been showing up where I already was."

"That doesn't even make sense."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

"Because I was working there for five hours before you showed up. I doubt you had been hiding jewelry along the street for that long."
polarization: (〉 it may seem like a crush)

He watched the reaction, suddenly more curious than he had been about... well, anything, in a long time. "Wasn't what?"
polarization: (〉 i played with your heart)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-07 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Because that's what you were doing," he said simply.

"Putting them... back?"
