[desperate scavenger, maybe, but placeless and watching eyes only half-true. as the redhead turns a corner, there's an almost soulless bright blue gaze staring at him (ironically he's the only thing alive for miles, maybe for lightyears)]
[the kid looks like a bad domestic abuse case: dark shadows and what damn near looks like sharkbites tattering open the already-ripped black vest hanging off of him, where you can see ribs that were once full and ridged but now just look hungry. shredded and torn jeans hang off his hips with a belt that has studs nicked out of it. he's tattered, he's fucked, and he has a look in his eyes that says there once used to be innocence there, but he's too hungry for it now]
[there are words he wants to say to him, where bruised and blood-crusted lips part, but he doesn't know them in their language, doesn't hardly understand what to do]
[instead, he mutters a low, disapproving "t'sh" and wipes a dried-blood nose and returns to the darkness of the ally with moonlight glowing in his eyes]
[he doesn't detest him because of what he is -- he doesn't even know what he is]
[he just detests him because he has a warmer place to sleep that night]
