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 okay?" he asked, offhandedly.

"Mm," Sefton replied eloquently. It looked to be more than that, but Sefton didn't care enough to continue prodding. (Or so he told himself, anyway.) Not to mention he was also tired from simply wandering around in that crowd for a while.
polarization: (〉 that is just so typically me)

Sefton stiffened, turning his attention away from Chivy now. "I guess," he said neutrally.

Wait... huh? Sefton frowned a little in confusion. "What?"

Sefton exhaled. "S'just how I am, I guess."

Sefton twitched, almost flinched, and his hand, which had been resting over his knee, clenched into a fist. "That's not always a good thing."

"It just isn't," he insisted, not wanting to have to explain himself; never wanting to have to explain himself.

"Don't get close," Sefton said sardonically. Both physically and emotionally... though he was fairly certain it was becoming far too late for the latter.

"Then you're doing better than everyone else I know," Sefton muttered. He paused, then frowned and looked over at Chivy. "And I wasn't trying to drown!"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-07 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton grumbled sourly. "Wasn't my fault..."
polarization: (〉 the only one that i have ever known)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-07 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can't," Sefton said with a sigh. "And I know I've said that before."

"Not by my choice," Sefton huffed.
