Rating: PG-13
Summary: Break invites Allen over to feed him and grill him about Road.
Break isn't expecting Allen to be punctual. When news like this gets passed around such a small population, everyone wants to know. More than that, everyone wants to hear it first hand. He suspects Allen will find himself mired in conversations and explanations for quite some time- which is why he works on a stew. He can let it simmer away on his makeshift... 'cooking apparatus,' we'll call it, and no particular harm will come to it.
Since the entryway is rather discreet, Break watches the street outside from his upstairs window. It's easy to lose himself in thought; the latest revelation is more horrifying than the last. He'd known about Yuca, so the betrayal had stung nothing more than his pride. He'd suffered some very serious consequences which were entirely his own fault. Road, on the other hand, had taken him in completely. Xerxes Break is not a man who fools easily, and he isn't quite sure what to make of this.
"Trying times, Emily."
He mutters, chortling to himself. There's no point really in making the doll answer, but she has a life of her own, so-
"Push has come to shove before, Break. The answer is to shove back."
