A Little Unsteady [Closed Log]

[warped_replica]

Date: February 20th
Characters: Benjiro and Sadie


The quiet sound of the engine cuts completely as Benjiro pulls off the street and up the drive of his great aunts’ house. Rolling up to the door of the storage shed, Benjiro plants his feet on either side of his motorcycle to steady it as he waits for Sadie to dismount from behind him. He follows after, sweeping his foot to pull out the kickstand and lean it to rest momentarily. He reaches up to unlock the strap under his chin, and pulls off his helmet with a shake of his head to free his hair from sticking down after the drive. Helmet under one arm, he walks over to the shed to pull up the door, then rights his bike to walk it inside.

Motorcycle parked for the night, he hangs both his helmet and Sadie’s, and then moves to unstrap their bags from the back rack. As he starts to undo the straps while speaking to her, his words trail off briefly as his eyes fall on the blanketed heap in the back corner left untouched since they visited the mouth of Moss River, “So, for dinner, do you want....um...” He shakes his head and finishes as he picks up the bags, “Sorry. A-anyways, I was thinking noodles.”

Sadie settles down into dissatisfied growls at Ben's mother, she had no idea that Sadie was there, all she was doing was riling herself up. Flipping the bird at the awful woman, Sadie turns to shadow Ben. She watches from the hallway as Ben appears to head back to bed, only to watch him double back and head towards Emiko. And dear god that was both upsetting and wonderful; seeing the care and wonder as his presence starts to settle Emiko is so heartwarming, but the fact that Ben is having to do this whilst still a child himself has her growling again.

She hated his mum, and if they ever met it would certainly be a struggle to remain polite towards the woman.
