Comments

[catamite]

Yeah...

[but he doesn't elaborate, because half of the things that Robin can do are too confusing to think about, let alone try to explain. so, he just leaves it at that and glances away again.]

And yeah, we were. ...We worked together and stuff.

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley's...not quite sure what to say next. She doesn't have a lot of experience with helping people separate, unless her and Senel count - and that's not quite the same thing.

So instead she tries to get a better look at him, sees the signs of sleep deprivation and tries to think of something to do. She glances down at the kiosk and checks the time.]

Do you want some company? I'm still working, but I should be done soon.

[catamite]

[he's got another perfectly adequate smile on when he glances up again.]

I'm fine. And I wouldn't want to bother you just out of work and everything.

[hearsthesea]

You wouldn't be bothering me at all. Just the opposite...I like it more, being with others.

[She pulls back a little there, staring down the kiosk desk for a second before turning her attention back to Nel. It's a truth that makes her think for a bit, but now isn't about her.]

[catamite]

Well... [he scratches at the back of his neck and glances away to think, for a moment.

and he's shifting gears a little better, the further they get away from topics that he doesn't want to think about. he manages a better smile, then.]

Sure, if you want company.

[hearsthesea]

Yes, I'd like that.

[She checks the time again - still a little time left...and she probably ought to do her job in that time.]

I'm off in about twenty minutes. Can you come back then?

I'm sorry, shirley...

[catamite]

Oh, sure. [and he steps back away from the desk, politely bowing out.]

Sure, yeah. I'll see you then.

[he won't linger. just a little wave as he excuses himself from the space and sets off to wander the streets for a little while.

...and, unfortunately, by the time twenty minutes finally rolls around, he'll be somewhere else--entirely distracted, having forgotten he'd ever made the promise in the first place.]

Nel why.

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley gives Nel a little over thirty minutes before accepting that he's not coming. Has something happened, or did he not want to come after all...? Either is unsettling in its own way, so she goes out in search of him - although she may or may not be successful.]

He sucks...

[catamite]

[unless she decides to poke around inside the nearby bars and shady places, she might not find him again that whole day.]

[hearsthesea]

[Yeah, she's not finding him. After an hour or two of that, Shirley sees she's not getting anywhere and gives it up.]
