an open starter for anyone.
“hey!” he calls out, beaming at them despite his very clearly agitated tone. he half-runs, half-waddles towards them (he can only go so fast with toddlers in tow) and as soon as he’s within comfortable speaking distance, he begins. “you haven’t seen any bouncy balls rolling around, have you? i think they were…. blue… and red? yeah, blue and red. ‘bout the size of a dilated pupil, maybe. i’d make a circle with my fingers for reference, but… well, you know.”
the you know is in reference to the fact that he’s afraid he might lose a child if he dares to let go for even a second. this day isn’t going very well so far and that’s the last thing that he needs to add to it. “they’ve got pretty strong bouncing power, i’ve heard. so who knows where they are now—… well, if you haven’t seen them, can you help us look? please?”
red and blue sphere shapes bounces down his way. watching as they roll past him but he doesn’t think much of it. hands buried in his pockets as he walks along the road where the daycare is located, nothing in particular he needs from there but he has business in the general area that the building was in. usually, he would ignore any request upon his father but when the old man threatens your living situations, things get a bit hectic and one becomes desperate enough to do what one says.
so, there he was in the midst of heading to a ‘very important’ meeting with who knows in donghwa-do. during this time he could be studying, going to the water to look at anything new he could find along the shores and maybe even the lakes. he could even be going out with friends having a good time, yet he’s here looking for the building that he father gave him the address too.
its the sound of a male’s voice that brings his attention to him. a young male with two kids. he could assume he was a working at the daycare nearby, but he was more than sure that the center was still in business hours so why were two kids out of the building. he blinks as he male gets closer. “two balls ? ” he cants his head to the left slightly upon thinking. of course he saw them rolling down the road. “ one red and one blue, hm. perhaps they rolled down the road with such speed and right into the gutters. ” he shook his head towards the misfortune of that possibly happening, but it didn’t.
“if i do help you, what can i get out of this ? ” dylan normally would help people out the goodness of his heart, but today he just didn’t feel like offering kindness for free.
