and that was the turning point

[Off in a corner, still being moody.]

From:

[Here, Five, have a bag of chips. Mmmmm, delicious and... un-nutritious.]

From:

I.. uh, thanks.

[Doesn't have the heart to inform Sam he doesn't do savoury snacking, only sweet stuff passes these lips.]

From:

[He has a bag of Fritos. Mmmm, Fritos.] What's up?

From:

Nothin' really. Just tired.

[And that's all he has to say on the matter at hand.]

How've you been?

From:

[He shrugs a little. On the road forever and ever.] Fine.

From:

Good t'hear, thought you'd be sick 'n tired by now.

From:

[Teenager shrug. Of teenager-y doom.]

From:

Y'know, bluffing isn't your strong suit.

From:

Maybe.

[Whatever, he's still a kid! It is his deity-given right to not be an adult all the time!]

From:

Y'might as well tell me what's wrong. 'm not gonna judge.

From:

Nothing.

[Can't he just be slightly grumpy for no specific reason? Gawd.]

From:

Mkay then, not my issue either.

[He totally knew what that was like, he must be secretly suffering from Bi-Polar.]

From:

[Or Teenage Syndrome.

Om nom chips.]

From:

Cheerful as ever Five.

From:

Hey, if people start paying me, I'll be cheerful by the bucketload.

From:

I wasn't aware you were into prostitution Five.

From:

I'm into a lot of things no-one cared t'ask about, real kinky shit too.

From:

That must make Beau happy then.

From:

He's too conservative for my kinky shit.

[And yes, he's trolling.]

From:

...And what kinky shit is that?

You should be nicer to Sam. By the way.

From:

Anything, I mean I couldn't tell you, it'd burn your ears.

[He tilts his head to the side.]

I am nice to Sam.

From:

Somehow I doubt I'd be shocked romeo.

I meant nicer, nice.

From:

Well I'm not about to offer to sleep with him, unlike some people. But 'm nice to him, I like the guy more than I can say for some of the others.

From:

[Sam has his face in a blanket. He's tired, shut up. He doesn't have the same endurance Loriens have.]

From:

From:

[He's sitting out the back of the house, his eyes looking up at the stars with a small smile]

From:

[And oh hey, a Sam comes out to join him. He has a sandwich. Mmm, sandwich.]

From:

[He glances over at the other boy before looking back up to the stars]

Nice party...

From:

Something like that.

[It's great for mooching food off people, at least.]

From:

[He looks up at the sky and sighs, leaning back on his elbows]

You know. At least you know where you came from. I grew up looking at those stars and wondering which one was mine. You know?

From:

[He points in the direction he's been taught - because you pick up a few things, like which direction Lorien's in.] That way.

From:

[He glances up at that point with a smile and shook his head]

You know I still sort of know what it was like back there? Flashes of memory...

From:

What do you remember?

From:

A red sky. Strange buildings on fire.

It's confusing.

From:

[He just nods, quietly, in case Nine has anything more to say.]

From:

Screaming. Mogs..

[He closes his eyes, letting his long hair cover his face]

Death.

From:

[Oh, shit. Here, Nine, have a comforting arm?]
