elijah eyed the boy for a minute as he got into a seated position. “well, first of all, mate, you’re in the middle of the house. can’t blame us for being at a functioning volume at one in the afternoon.” shrugging, he gestured to where griffin had just been lying. “was just checkin’ in— making sure you’re alive and all that good stuff. have a crazy night or something?”

“i needed sleep and my room was too far.” it was more along the lines of him being too drunk to go up to his room, but he didn’t really touch on that too much. “well, i’m alive, yeah. and, maybe. i don’t really remember most of it, so i’m assuming it was alright.” he shrugged, shifting to stand up and stretch a bit. “but, thanks... i guess.”

“You’re not in your bedroom, you’re in one of the main rooms and you fell asleep, no people aren’t gonna be fucking quit.” Kennedy rolled her eyes at him

“still. this place is supposed to be safe, isn’t it? i don’t feel safe when you’re runnin’ around, bangin’ pots and pans and shit or whatever you’re doin’.”

“For you to stop snoring so loud, holy fuck dude.” Ryder rubbed his eyes and looked at the other guy. 

“it wasn’t that loud...” he mumbled, shooting a glare towards ryder before huffing. “sleep somewhere else if it’s that annoying.”

“do you mind not makin’ so much noise? some of us are trying to sleep.” there’s a slight groan slipping from his lips. sleepy undertones were still present as he lifted his body to sit up just a bit more. “what do you want?”

Ryder chuckled and nodded and broke the set. “Looks like I’m stripes.” He said as one went into the pocket

griffin nodded a few times and chuckled, taking his own turn to only get one solid in. “i was never really a fan of stripes, anyway.”

ryder-smith:

“Yup and that’s why I’m here because I hurt their feelings.” Ryder laughed. “You wanna break or do you want me to break them?”

“wow, you’re such a badass.” he rolled his eyes, pausing for a moment before nodding once. “you can break.”

ryder-smith:

“No.” Ryder shook his head. “I did it to teach some sixteen year old pricks a lesson.”

“so, you like pickin’ on the great youth of our nation?” he’s just teasing, of course, tossing in a slight smirk before he crossed his arms. “sounds like a great fuckin’ time.”

“I’m always down for a game of pool.” Ryder said as he walked over to the table and grabbed a pool stick. “I used to hustle pool, so we’ll see.” He admitted.

griffin let out another laugh before arching an eyebrow. “oh, so you’re one of those money hungry assholes, huh?” he grabbed his own pool stick, shrugging a bit. “yeah, guess we’ll see.”

ryder-smith:

Ryder laughed. “Is that even still a thing?” He asked as he walked into the game room with Griffin.

“in this place? probably.” he shrugged, walking inside before glancing around and narrowing his eyes. “you up for a game of pool, though? i’d kick your ass.”

[griffindowling-blog]

ryder-smith:

“God I know.” Ryder agreed. He looked at Griffin. “Heard there’s a game room though, wanna check that one out?”

at first, griffin almost rejected the idea of playing games, but he had to at least be open, right? after a moment, he nodded a bit. “yeah, let’s go. i’m not playing fuckin’ air hockey or whatever, though.”

“Whoa, ‘no judgement’ on the mug but the second you hear I use it for tea and suddenly it’s a big thing? —Came out here to have a good idea, mate…” Elijah snorted slightly, kicking off the wall, and peering up to examine the contents of the cupboard. “Got any good ol’ fashioned Earl Grey up there?” He asked, squinting slightly at the options, though they were clear for him to see.

“yeah, because tea is disgusting.” at the boy’s next question, griffin just let out a short laugh and flipped the options he’d been holding up to glance at the labels. “does it look like there’s earl grey? this place seems kinda old-fashioned, though, so i’m sure they have what you want. seem to have everything around here, anyway.” he tossed the options onto the counter, soon moving back to his original place to sit down again.

ryder-smith:

Ryder nodded. “Doesn’t everyone need a safe space now?” He asked. “Like people are literally offended by anything and everything.”

“welcome to the world’s greatest generation.” he mumbled with a scoff tossed in at the very end, head shaking in the slightest. “people need to get over it and suck it up.”

nodding at his words, he was probably right. “yeah i think so. or maybe i was just bored and came to the kitchen with no motive. either way, i’m here so i might as well get something.” she said before opening the fridge and looking around before grabbing a bottle of iced tea.

griffin arched an eyebrow, nodding once before deciding not to question it further. after a moment, he set his own coffee down and crossed his arms, elbows resting on the counter. “how long have you been here?”

ryder-smith:

“Really? That’s a let down.” Ryder said. “You’d think this place would be more interesting or is everyone just afraid to talk to people?”

“i don’t know. supposed to be ‘safe’ and whatever for people, so i guess nobody really makes any noise.” griffin shrugged, refraining from rolling his eyes at the thought of people not having fun because they were scarred emotionally or something.

“Every place has a history and history can sometimes have secrets.” Ryder left and began to walk around Safe Haven with Griffin

“sometimes doesn’t mean always.” griffin commented easily, shrugging before shoving his hands into his pockets and following after the other boy. “i wouldn’t get your hopes up about the secrets, though. place is pretty bland so far.”

It was funny how, even though the house was now being occupied by quite a few people, the place still seemed to be rather quiet. As Jason wandered through the house, he couldn’t help but wonder how long it would be before everyone decided to emerge from the safe confines of their rooms and mingle about the rest of the house. It was right as he was thinking this, that he noticed someone emerging from one of the rooms, and he allowed for an easy smile to find it’s way to his lips. “Hey it’s good to see you. I was beginning to wonder if everyone had gone home without telling me” He joked lightly with a shake of his head. “How are you liking it here so far? Is there anything I can do for you?” 

griffin was starving. staying in bed all day and watching movies would do that to a person pretty fast. he stood up and tossed a sweatshirt on before heading out the door, only to run into someone else almost instantly. “hey, man.” he reached over to pat the guy’s shoulder gently before arching an eyebrow momentarily. he let out a laugh –– it was nice to see someone around here wasn’t a total killjoy. “y’know, it’s not that bad. couldn’t be worse than where we all came from, huh?” he shrugged, crossing his arms. “what, are you the big guy around here? we report to you for issues and all that shit? it’s fine. i’m pretty low maintenance, so worry about the others and then come back later.”
