He wordlessly sidles up to the other, cigarette in hand. An offering, and a way to get in good graces before they ever reached the heart of the matter. "You look like you could use one."
And perhaps there's something just a touch off about him. His fingers don't shake the slightest amount with their prize, but he could've been blessed with a steady hand. Those eyes are far more red than should ever be natural, but there are always contacts. They never leave their target, seeing past the surface and boring right through Kane's soul.
I don't need to guess. I know you need this.
Kicked off of yet another couch and left to rot once again. It was becoming oh so sadly common that Kane found himself being told to leave someone’s house where he would then have to spend the next night in a motel - If he didn’t find someone else, that was. It was more common for him to sleep in a crappy bed in some rundown hotel or whatever. People just couldn’t be trusted much. It was only desperation that drove him to seek out whoever, ask them for help. Bleh.
This time he was kicked out he found himself waltzing into a shop, grabbing some strong alcohol and then walking down an alleyway to drink it. And it was nasty. He hated it. He hated everything at the time. Especially himself. Ugh. He just wanted somewhere cosy and not the damn motel again. But this asshole had kicked him out and told him to get lost. It wasn’t his fault the guy was married and the wife had come home early! Whatever. The alcohol soon warmed him up and he just stood waiting for it to take hold of him.
You look like you could use one.
Vivid green eyes look out from between his hair, to the offering. Then to the stranger. Back to the cig. And he shrugs, taking it between finger and thumb and placing it to his lips. How kind! But this person probably wants something, right? They always do. They can also probably see he’s down on his luck. Hopefully he doesn’t look too much like a damn whore after what the previous guy had asked him to wear and kicked him out still wearing.
How embarrassing.
“Got a light, then?”
