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.

It seemed like Sefton would ignore Chivy, looking toward the front of the bus in puzzlement. After a moment, he replied, "Y-yeah, actually..." His voice sounded hesitant, almost guilty. In a quieter voice, he added, "I think I broke the bus, though."

"Don't know," Sefton answered. "But it... felt like something snapped, and then the bus stopped, and I felt better." He curled up on himself further than before. "That's never happened before."
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

Sefton gave him an incredulous look. "Did you want something to explode?"
polarization: (〉 by now you should have somehow)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-16 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
The look didn't waver. "You did."

Sefton rolled his eyes and settled for staring at the back of the seat in front of him instead. "I'm a magnet, Chivy, not a matchbox."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-16 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
His look shifted to something of a pout. "Which shouldn't have happened."
polarization: (〉 the only one that i have ever known)

"Dunno," Sefton said quietly. It seemed the fact that he'd been able to do such a thing was weighing down on him.

Glancing to Chivy, Sefton looked a bit confused. "I am."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-16 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
"What do you think?"

Sefton looked a little more downcast. "Just... hoping this doesn't mean something."
polarization: (〉 on the borderline of the edge)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-16 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Like I'm getting stronger?" Sefton asked sarcastically, obviously exasperated. "That's just what I would need," he added in a murmur.

"... no?"
