HE’S BARELY NOTICED THE TIME. there are things that slip far too easily from his attention, and time is definitely one of them. is it really that late? a quick glance is directed towards the sky to check the time before his gaze returns to somewhere just a few inches away from the other’s. ( he’s never been good at meeting people’s eyes. ) it’s dark out, but he could have sworn he started wandering when it was still daytime. has it really been that long? now that he stops to think, he’s tired.
“ not… around there. in there. n-not for long, but— yes. in there, not around there. ” his few belongings are stored in his camera bag, which doubles as a backpack for the sake of ease —— two changes of clothes, his camera, a couple toiletries, and the money he’d stolen when he fled russia. ( he’s been showering in the bathrooms of public locations. ) he doesn’t have much to his name.
after a moment of contemplation, adrien starts taking a few steps back, shaking his head. “ i— sorry i, um, bothered you. i can… i can find it. it’s, uh, it’s okay.” he’ll probably get lost again, but he can do it on his own.
arber felt a pang of pity for the younger. they looked lost, a bit out of place. as if they don’t have a place to stay. a foreigner? an immigrant just like them? aside from he small carrier bag the child had slung over his shoulder, he didn’t look much like a tourist.
a young warlock. ahh, this is rough, but not uncommon. young warlocks tend to look lost and abandoned as their parent’s either died or abandoned them, it’s a sad truth and arber’s been through it.
“would you like to come by my place to stay? i promise i won’t bite,” they said before looking at the sandwiches they were carrying and handed one to the boy. “wanna eat?”
