You know, last time I listened to one of you guys I was wrong. Fool me twice and all that… Lemme just ask the boy myself.
@dedmaxsearchhistory? You hearing this? *gestures upward*
*he nods slightly* y-yeah, i guess.. *hic* .. Carlos i-i
promise not to rob anymore stores…*looks down at Max* You sure, buddy? YOu’re telling me the truth, right? *his voice is still soft, but it still demands honesty.*
y-yeah.. i’m sure… *he yawns and rubs his eyes* a promise is a promise…
I would love to see you keep it, Max. I think you should take some time to yourself now… you look tired.
i’m not tired.. i’m just… sad *he glances away, mumbling* i don’t want to be alone…
Why don’t you want to be alone, Max?
i don’t trust myselfi just don’t…Do you want me to sit in your tent with you? I do think a nap would do you some good. But if you’d rather not be alone, I can oblige you there as well. That is – if you’re okay with it. I know I’m not actually your dad, and I just realized how what I suggested sounds…
*he chuckles slightly and nods* thanks Carlos.. *he dries his eyes and gets up*
*Carlos stands up as well and brushes off his coat and legs. He then offers Max a hand to hold*
*he hesitates before taking Carlos’ hand and walking back to his tent, yawning ocasionally*
*Carlos is silent, not sure if Max wants to talk about anything else right then. They would go at Max’s pace.*
*he was quiet for awhile til they were almost at his tent, his voice still almost a whisper* do you remember the shadow people?
*he frowns. Yeah, he remembered.* Yeah, Max. Did… has something happened?
i think they decided they don’t like you anymore… *he stepped into his tent*
*Carlos was confused* They don’t like me… anymore? As in they had liked me before? Or did they just say they don’t like me?
they were mostly relaxed around you before but now.. *he sits on the edge of his bed and shrugs* they keep hissing at you
Do you know why? *closes the tent and goes to sit on the other cot across from Max.*
nope-* he pulls off his hoodie* it’s weird though, i’ve never seen them act like this..
Hissing, you mean?
yeah *he lays down*
Hm… um, okay then. Try to relax, Max. I’ll be here… *And he’ll figure out what to ground Max from*
*he puts his pillow over his face and mutters out* night i guess.. *there’s not alot in Maxs tent, a book bag and couple video games but not much else…*
Get some rest, Max. Do you have a water bottle? I can get it filled for you, in case you’re thirsty.
…. i don’t think i’ve had a drop of water since i came to camp, holy shyt-
What? Why? Nevermind… um, do you want some?
