@cowducted gets a starter !

River presses her back against the dilapidated barn wall. The surrounding trees offer some coverage. It’s better than nothing. Her eyebrows furrow. “Do you hear that?” It sounds like someone filling up a trough, which makes no sense. There’s no livestock.

sometimes it takes a while for atieno to share some of the things that have been on their mind for long periods of time. it's just so happens that they were spending time with susi and .. it seemed like someone who was actually willing to listen to some of the things that had been on their mind.

atieno hums for a moment as they let the words gather within their mind.

"i don't talk about this a lot with people, but there's something about knowing that i had been around for such a long, long time.. and knowing there's so much time ahead of me, it's something i'm both very used to but.. still kind of weighs very heavily on me now and then."

atieno could definitely relate to feeling reluctant to do something.. even if it might be something they were skilled at. this was why they wanted to be supportive and encouraging with susi.

"listen.. you try once and you don't have to do this again if you don't want to..i just thought it might be a place you found interesting." they were sharing some of spots they visited with susi, just because there were some more interesting people-watching that occurred at these kinds of outdoor gatherings.

usually, usually.. z would be more careful about offering their hand in such a way, they didn't even know what to expect from Susi's response to them.

but, they do feel glad that she takes up on the offer of assistance, of having a little bit of support if only for a moment.

"hope that wasn't too bad for you .. honestly." they offered with a small, curious little look to them.
