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.

"Got it backwards," Sefton muttered, twisting the ball around until he could see the display before bringing his hand back to his lap.

"Dunno." Reaching down, Sefton stuffed the 8-ball into his bag for proper rearranging later. "It hasn't been going that long."
polarization: (〉 you think i'm in love)

Magic 8-ball safely tucked away, Sefton returned to his slouching, halfway stretched-out position. "It'll probably last a while," he elaborated.

Giving Chivy a sideways look, he asked, "Weren't you going to sleep or something?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-02 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton merely quirked his brows at Chivy. So?
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-02 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton began the frown, then huffed and turned toward the aisle. "Whatever."
polarization: (〉 did you think i'd go on not noticing?)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
After a moment of not responding, Sefton turned his head and looked somewhat confused. "Huh?"
polarization: (〉 the fire in your heart is out)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Might sleep," he said with a shrug.
polarization: (〉 there's a hole in this story)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
He looked only vaguely surprised at the offer. "Yeah?"
polarization: (〉 did you think i'd go on not noticing?)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton hesitated for a long moment, then finally nodded, grabbing his bag and his shoes, and moved to stand in the aisle. He gave more than enough room for Chivy to get out without the chance of them bumping into each other, as well.
polarization: (〉 i'm dreaming away)

Quirking a smile in thanks, he shuffled into the window seat, setting his things back down, and got comfortable. This mostly consisted of bringing one leg up onto the seat, wrapping his arms around it, and leaning most of his upper body against the window.

Sefton glanced over to Chivy, curious as to why he wasn't sitting down again. He didn't voice it, but it was in his gaze.

"Said I might," he replied, quickly shifting his gaze to the raindrops on the window.
