special delivery for Leo!

[red_eyed_rick]

[finds himself in Central and can't help to be frightened... he's lost his sunglasses and he doesn't know where his big brother is.]

B-brother?... Where are you?

[ducks into an alley and hides there until he can be reasonably sure that it will be dark enough out for people to mistake his eyes for brown instead of red.]

*Managed to get away from that creepy armor serial killer freak and ducked into an alley to hide.* This place is full of freaks...

[un_locket]

... *Have a headpat.*

[red_eyed_rick]

... How far away is it? I haven't eaten in a while.

[un_locket]

Not very far, and there's food there. Everyone there's nice, don't worry.

...*Takes off his sunglasses.* Wear these.

[red_eyed_rick]

[looks at the offered item]

... I can't... your heads too big.

[un_locket]

It's better than nothing. Put them on.

[red_eyed_rick]

...But brother, you need them. [gets idea... okay, it's a bit dumb, but he's 10! He takes off headscarf and ties it around his eyes.]

We can go like this! and nobody will know... you can say I'm blind like some of the old people in the camps.

[un_locket]

......Rick, you look ridiculous.

[red_eyed_rick]

... but your glasses are too big. They'll fall off. [pouts]

[un_locket]

It's just till we get to the apartment, then I can find a pair that'll fit you.

[red_eyed_rick]

... Okay... but if you get caught you'll get in trouble... and then they'll send you to the camp.

... I don't want you to get in trouble. [is holding headscarf in his hands now]

[un_locket]

I'd like to see 'em try. Nobody can get out of this city.

I'm not going to get in trouble, okay? I'm older than you, I know what I'm doing.

[red_eyed_rick]

[tugs at Leo's shirt a little, and then sort of cuddles him] Okay. I'm sorry.

... Don't leave without me again, okay?

[un_locket]

...*He softens, and wraps an arm around his shoulder.*

I'm not going to. Sorry for worrying you.

[red_eyed_rick]

[cue the sappy music as Ricks arms wrap around Leo's middle, and he buries his face into him]

'sokay... I wasn't worried. I knew you'd come back for me.

[un_locket]

Of course I did.

The apartment's this way, c'mon. *Clinging and walking at the same time is totally possible.*
