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.

"I've been on a bus before, Chivy."
polarization: (〉 never really had a doubt)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Which means something's different."
polarization: (〉 what's a wonderwall,anyway?)

Sefton shook his head. "But what else could've caused it?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Slowly, as Chivy continued, Sefton's skeptical look grew. "Doesn't change the fact that I'm apparently somehow capable of breaking buses down."
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

Despite the fact that Chivy was actually giving him a surprising amount of space, Sefton found himself leaning away in equal amount to Chivy's approach. "Another magnet?" he parroted, confused by the thought process. "But how would a magnet break the bus in the first place? That's what I don't get..."

Sefton rolled his eyes, mirroring Chivy by flopping back against his seat. "And we're back at square one."
polarization: (〉 the fire in your heart is out)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Dunno," Sefton murmured. "Probably try to fix it, I guess."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Why don't you go ask?" he suggested, almost sarcastically.
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton grimaced. "... I'd rather not."
polarization: (〉 wishing that heroes; they truly exist)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-17 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Startled at the change of subject, Sefton gave him a wide-eyed look before glancing away. He slouched into his seat, placing his feet on the floor to keep himself from sliding off. "They found 'em."
polarization: (〉 check my vital signs)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-18 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
"The police," Sefton muttered. "They found my parents. Or... the other way 'round, I don't know."
polarization: (〉 check my vital signs)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-18 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton nodded without replying. He still wasn't sure if the police would be able to track him down, but he had been doing his best to be unpredictable in his methods of travel. Hopefully, it would be enough.
polarization: (〉 they're gonna throw it back to you)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-12-19 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"My parents won't give up," Sefton stated simply.
