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.

"What's in the bag!"

Sefton stared at him for a moment, wrestling with the urge to simply wrench the bag out of Chivy's hands. "Why not," he eventually said.

Tilting his head, he asked, "Second thoughts?"

Sefton took the bag from Chivy, careful as always, and spread his legs out in order to set it on his lap. He began to sift through some of the objects, trying not to dislodge anything as he did.

At one point, Sefton stopped almost as if something had bitten him. He seemed surprised, then exasperated, before it evolved into full out annoyance. Pulling his hand out of the bag, not realizing Chivy was watching, he gave the commemorative magnet stuck to the back of his hand an irritated glare.

Sefton jumped, turning to face Chivy while slapping his free hand over the magnet. "I-I'm fine!"

"I'm fine," he insisted.

It took him a moment to remember what Chivy was referring to. "M-maybe..."
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton huffed and turned away from Chivy, hunching over his hand and flipping the 'switch' between attract and repel. The magnet flipped off his hand and would have landed in his lap, except for the fact that it was still being repelled—and so flip-flopped its way onto the sidewalk.

"Ah...!"
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton remained silent. He set the bag down next to him and pulled his legs back up to his chest. "Just did," he muttered almost inaudibly.
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-08 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
That earned Chivy a wary gaze, yet Sefton still didn't move. "Why?"

"It's dumb," he refuted.
