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.

His head slowly tilted to the side, smooshing his hair up against the window in the process. "How so?"
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

"S' the point of a game like that?" Sefton muttered.
polarization: (〉 still cannot find any good sleep)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Not very fun if you can only play it with the same people once."
polarization: (〉 did you think i'd go on not noticing?)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton simply looked confused by this point. "What kinda game is it?"
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-03 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Sefton watched Chivy count the cards, absently wondering after the one that was flicked at him. More pressingly, however, he looked incredulous. "That's ridiculous."
polarization: (〉 oops i did it again)

He glanced down to the floor for a moment, and saw that the card had somehow managed to lodge itself in one of his shoes. "So how do you ever remember that?"
polarization: (〉 never really had a doubt)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-04 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
"But they're so..." Sefton trailed off, reaching down to grab the card. After a brief moment of consideration, he flicked it at Chivy.
polarization: (〉 whatever's in my head won't go away)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-04 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Which was a confusing reaction to having something thrown at you. Sefton looked mystified for a moment and eventually asked, "What?" Was he really that happy at having not lost the card?
polarization: (〉 never really had a doubt)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-04 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sefton didn't reply, but he did eye the deck of cards. "Said you can't talk while playing that one game?" he asked, almost reluctant.
polarization: (〉 the only one that i have ever known)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-04 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
After a moment of deliberation... "What're the rules again?"
polarization: (〉 where the city sleeps)

[personal profile] polarization 2010-02-04 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Which sounded much more complicated than was necessary for a card game, really. "Thought you couldn't talk?"
polarization: (〉 the fire in your heart is out)

Shaking his head (and knowing that he would probably regret it), Sefton said, "Deal."
