Milliways, Enzo fancies, feels different without Dani. Emptier, even when it's bustling. Or maybe it's just him. He still doesn't feel as wretched as he always thought he would, but there's a sort of hollowness ( Read more... )

Velvet is soft!

This is why there is suddenly a four-year-old boy at Enzo's side, running his hands over the material.

Eep! Invasion of personal space-oh, it's just a little kid. That's okay, then.

"Uh, hi."

The boy looks up with big blue eyes, pulling his hands away. Just in case.

"Hi, Enzo!"

Enzo's brow furrows. He doesn't recall making the acquaintance of any boys this age.

"You know me?"

"Yes!"

Duh.

He giggles. Enzo is silly.

Enzo grins. All right, so it's a prank of some kind.

"Do I know you?"

This is, obviously, the most ridiculous question he has ever been asked.

"Yes!"

Twenty Questions it is!

"How long have I known you?"

"Um."

This question is more difficult. Counting back that far is hard when you're four.

"A long time," he decides finally.

It is possible, Enzo considers, that he doesn't know the kid yet. Probably wouldn't do much good to ask him, though.

"When do you come from?" he tries.

Another hesitation, but somehow he knows the answer readily enough. It's important information in Milliways, after all.

"1963."

That doesn't ring any bells.

"What kind of world do you come from?"

One thing you get a sense of pretty quickly around here is how your world deviates from the apparent average.

"A normal one."

They're back in duh territory now.

"Except I'm too little to have music yet."

Totally normal.

Too little to... Oh, hey! Cal's son would be about this age, wouldn't he? No, but then he'd be off by more than thirty years...

Enzo's eyes widen. "Cal?!"

isaysimplewords April 1 2009, 20:40:28 UTC
Cal beams. "Yep!"

Who else would it be?

Enzo bursts out laughing. "Man! Bar did a number on you, didn't she?"
