You don’t know what it is about Fibonacci that drives you to visit as often as you do; maybe it’s the buildings tall as the sky or the curiousity that is the contrast between each floor in them ( some clean, tidy, upper-class -- others less so ), but you find yourself by the canyon a lot more than you look at your own ward. It’s such an interesting structure. You stick around the surface, most of the time, only because the people in the tall buildings are weird wherever you go; residents of the upper levels give you weird looks, noses turned, and even the lower parts have their own reservations for strangers.
Not that the surface is a perfect balance, either. People seem to have their manners and common sense, but it seems not everyone has gotten the memo -- there is an angry resident heckling someone in broad daylight, and you have the feeling this is not a normal quarrel between people who know each-other. You should walk away and leave them to resolve it, but you don’t -- the confrontation looks very one-sided, and the person being heckled looks very familiar, so you ignore your instincts to leave well alone and approach. You step by his side, resting a gentle hand on his shoulder, and look towards the angry man facing you with a practiced lack of emotion.
“I’m sorry about this, sir,” You don’t know what you’re apologizing for, but apologies placate people easier than a lot of other things you could say. “We’ll be going now.”
Morton. Morton. That was the name, you’re sure, though you don’t remember having talked. You don’t leave any room for response before you steer him away, your pace brisk, not unlike a mother taking an unruly child home after misbehaving in public; except you are not there to mother a grown adult, or scold for something that really was not your business to get involved in.
“I thought you might need an out of this. Unless you weren’t done with that conversation there, keep up with me, alright? Those kinds of people will follow you to finish it, unfortunately.”
@acrobatiica liked a starter call !
