Close starter for @draconic-anders

Gale entered the barbershop his new friend owned. He had bought some baked goods from the bakery on his way here, he had walked, and smiled at everyone. "Good afternoon, Anders," he greeted the male. "I brought some snacks," he added, raising the bag. His hair was long, so he was definitely ready for a haircut, and it was also a good opportunity to meet with Anders and chat. Gale didn't have much going on in his life, so going out under any excuse was good to him.

@draconic-anders

his  second  day  out  of  the  hospital.  elias  was  still  pretty  banged  up;  his  face  a  mess  of  purple,  black  &  dark  red,  deep  circles  under  his  eyes,  bruises  on  his  neck  that  formed  a  very  clear  strangle-line  all  the  way  around  it.  dressed  in  loose  pants  &  shirt,  his  arm  wrapped  tight  in  a  sling  against  his  chest.  broken.  how  ...was  he  supposed  to  exist  with  a  broken  arm?  how  was  he  meant  to  do  what  he  loved?  well,  he  could  still  drink  coffee.  heavy  sigh  sounded  as  he  made  a  gigantic  beeline  around  the  square  with  his  coffee  in  his  useful  hand,  instead  heading  through  the  mall.

never  one  to  search  the  busy,  crazy  life  of  a  city  person  -  even  though  he  had  ben,  he  ...  preferred  to  avoid  the  quiet  for  now,  so  the  mall  was  a  nice  alternative  option.  one  may  think  with  new  haven  being  a  flourishing  medium-sized  town  at  this  point,  it  wasn't  easy  to  keep  running  into  people  you  knew,  but  at  the  same  time  ...elias  knew  at  least  half  the  town's  population  simply  because  they  were  travelers  &  went  through  him  for  orientation  &  registration.  but  this  felt  oddly  redundant  even  if  in  a  different  place.  he  was  sat  on  a  bench  with  a  coffee,  anderson  right  there.  dejavu?  maybe  a  little.  "anders?  hey  ...hi,  how  are  you  doing?"
