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.

Maybe not to Chivy, but for Sefton it was almost a necessity. Not that he would ever explain his reasons why; even explaining them would defeat the purpose (which was, unsurprisingly, to not think of them at all).

Sefton shrugged.

Something of a glare in Chivy's direction. "Why? S' not gonna work."

Sefton slouched in his seat. "The basics."

"Uhm," Sefton said. He recognized a few of those card games, but a few went right over his head.

Reluctantly, Sefton rose to the bait. "What is it?"

Sefton huffed and turned toward the window once again. "What if I don't wanna play?"
polarization: (〉 realized what you gotta do)

"Go 'head."

The card seemed to resist hitting Sefton, its impact not nearly as jarring as it probably should have been. However, he still looked incredibly unamused. "H-hey!"

"And play Solitaire," Sefton said in annoyance, making sure to emphasize his words to make it more noticeable.

"Is too."

"Don't do it all the time." To prove his point, he rolled his eyes.

There was a small silence, then the answer: "You won't tell me what the games are like."
