♫ | the kid
HE’S UNCOMFORTABLE. PAINFULLY SO. It shows in the slouch of his shoulders & the rigidity of his muscles – and the longer he sits, the more agitated he grows. The kid is far taller than the table allows & knobby knees knock anxiously against the edge of the wooden surface each time his twitches within his seat. He’s in the tea-shop owned by the witch woman – and the man seated before him ( a brunette with a thick but scruffy beard and eyes as dark as his curls ) is a friend of his lawyer. The kid swallows thickly, protruding Adam’s apple bobbing anxiously as he does. He physically recoils as the brunette pulls out a tape recorder. A gut reaction. He remembers Warden Lacy’s droning voice as he stares through the bars of the cage, tape recorder clasped in his God-fearing hands as he details the horrors surrounding the boy’s anomalous presence. The tapered end of the kid’s nose twitches and his expression grows irritated. He pulls back, faded flannel wringing in thin hands..
❛ – why ? Not bad – I’m not bad. Not doing anything wrong. ❜
The pen in his hand clicked nervously against the wooden table as he put it down, reaching for the tape recorder that he had just pulled out of his bag. The boy--man?-- had physically pulled back when he had placed it down. He already knew that this meeting had been asking a lot, and he didn’t want to jeopardize the rest of it. “I’m sorry, here let me just put this away.” He murmured, looking down at the device in his hand before slipping it back into the bag at his feet. “I wasn’t trying to make you--well more uncomfortable…” He trailed off with a sigh. This was going absolutely terribly.
“No, no you haven’t done anything, and i’m really grateful you decided to come honestly. I was just wondering if I could ask you some questions? ”
