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.

"What?" He opened his eyes to look down at his elbow, and eloquently stated, "Uh..."

"I'll figure something out," Sefton dismissed.

Reaching out with his slightly-bloodied hand (his sleeve was absorbing most of the blood), he took the cloth and began to roll back his sleeve to reveal the bruising around his injured elbow. "Thanks," he said after a moment, and began wrapping.

"You think so?" Sefton asked absently. "That was a pretty big commotion."

"Wouldn't know." Slowly, he tested his elbow's mobility now that it was wrapped. He winced and stopped with it halfway-straight.

"I can do without," he said, curling his elbow closer to his chest and standing.

"Without a doctor," he clarified. "It'll heal on its own."

"I'll keep it clean."

"Not really. They're expensive." Which was true, though not the biggest reason he didn't seek medical help.

"Don't bother." He began walking to the mouth of the alley, checking left and right to see whether it was safe or not. "I'll take care of it."
polarization: (〉 can't you see i'm a fool?)

[personal profile] polarization 2009-10-07 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
He stuck close to the side of the alley, using it to cover his arm, and so he would only have to watch one of his sides. "It won't fall off."

"No," he replied. "Are you?"

Sefton shook his head, then walked out into the street when it seemed like things had calmed down.
