SALEM.
PRETTY BOYS LIKE HIM ? he shrugs his shoulders , not even attempting to hide the smile that appears on his face before he speaks. ❝ i do what i can. i’m glad you noticed , not many people have. ❞ he knows he’s acting immature , at least , in comparison to the presumably more serious person opposite himself. but , it all comes from a good place in his heart. cue him clearing his throat as he looks down to his feet. combing his fingers through his messy curls as he looks back up to the female. attempting to have a more serious composure. ❝ anyways — i'm sure you don’t. but i still mean what i said. i’ve been out here for years , i could arguably be considered a guide of the wasteland. ❞ &&. he has his pipboy to thank for all the data &&. locations it’s collected : the only reason why he never bothered to take it off.
SHE CHOOSES TO IGNORE THE BOYISH SMILE ON HIS FACE , her father always warned her of boys like him --- distractions. eyes roll at her new found acquaintance as she tucks away the journal & the map her father had given her before he’d passed. still , he has a fair point , perhaps she should keep him around for a while , just until she is able to figure it out for herself. she follows her fathers advice , a promise to always think with her HEAD instead of her heart , to be wise , to do whatever will keep both her & her brother a l i v e. she sighs , peers up at the strange man she’d only just met. she can’t help but think that this is RECKLESS , that she’s being impulsive. it’s a risk she has to take , that or she’s alone in a world she barely recognises. ❛ — fine , maybe you can help , but if you so much as try anything , don’t think i won’t fight back. i can be FEISTY , believe me. ❜ eyes narrow as she talks , uttering the only warning she is going to give him. ❛ also , that ‘CHARMING’ thing you just did , that don’t work on me. ❜
