[Mayfield... it's been a while since this guy has been remotely happy. He's been hiding, lurking, if you will... and it's not at all surprising. He's been tired, and annoyed... he doesn't go out of his way to try and make friends these days. In fact, he's even been dodging his own housemates. The man is regretful, growing distant, and over all

[Crowe is returning home from school to find a smiling Hol on the curb outside the house. How odd.]

Ah... good afternoon. Good day, I take it?

[emperor_cowboy]

[He blinked... and looked up to him with a chuckle.]

Can't say I've had a good day in a long while, kid. I suggest you enjoy them while ya can.

[perfektsymmetry]

Mm, in this place, it's tough. I try to. [Crowe's been in a good mood himself lately, even despite all the Halloween annoyances.]

[emperor_cowboy]

... and I'm sure you've got folk to talk to here and there when needed.

[perfektsymmetry]

Mm, well, I'd like to think so, or at least I hope so.

[emperor_cowboy]

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I seen how others go to make sure yer all okay. So don't go doubtin' that.

[He reflects on that for a moment, then smiles softly.] I guess I should count myself lucky, yeah.

[He took a long drag on his cigarette.]

I figured if I ain't goin' home... might as well get used t' th' place. If somethin' does happen... ya were a good kid.

[Crowe looks concerned for a moment, then smiles slightly.]

... Thanks Hol. I appreciate that. I'm glad that... Ah, even if it took awhile, we get along alright.

[emperor_cowboy]
