I7DT: Under a Tree

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 8:53 pm

Sean was sitting under a tree listening to something while drawing people he saw hanging around on the quad.

"Well that was more like it!" Guy beamed as he walked up, stretching his shoulder.

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:12 pm

Sean looked up at Guy and cocked an eyebrow before going back to his sketching.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:15 pm

"Oh come now Hall, you had to have seen the news."

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:16 pm

Sean smirked and pointed at his head phones.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:23 pm

"Oh... right..." he said, sitting down next to Sean with his arms behind his head.

by **Sean Hall** » Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:26 pm

Sean sat there in silence for another minute before finishing the sketch, and pulled the head phones from his ears.

"Now what could the resident car thief want from little ole me?" Sean asked.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 1:57 pm

"Pfft. It's not like I didn't give it back."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:29 pm

"Did you give it back?" Sean asked cocking an eyebrow.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:44 pm

"More or less..."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:07 pm

"Less, I'm imagining is the more truthful part of that statement," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:10 pm

"A Learjet crashed into it. I had to offer to pay for a new car to keep the police out of it."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:14 pm

"Well, that is the least you could do seeing as you nicked some poor blokes wheels and then drove it on a mad chase through London proper," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:19 pm

"Surprised I didn't just hide it out somewhere?"

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:30 pm

"No, surprised you didn't use the 'I'm a hero' excuse to try and wiggle out of it," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:36 pm

"Well I did try."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:37 pm

"And here I am not surprised," Sean said, "So who forced you to change your tune?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:42 pm

"No one!" he grinned, arms in the air.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:43 pm

"That on the other hand surprises me a little," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:53 pm

"There I was, hiding in a maintenance closet, when something just... I dunno... clicked. Everything I learned at Warfield, being at Xavier's... and something my father said, believe it or not... just lined up."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:54 pm

"And what was that?" Sean asked.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 6:58 pm

"Keep going the way you're going and you'll never be of any help to anyone."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:03 pm

"Good advice, especially for you," Sean said, "I'm pretty sure he didn't have car chases and crashing into air planes in mind when he said it."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:09 pm

"Well I am terribly contrary," he smirked.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:34 pm

"There are certainly worse things," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:39 pm

"But yes, I doubt he had Die Hard in mind."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:40 pm

"I picture him telling you that in great detail at very high volume," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:05 pm

"He'd stopped yelling by then."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:11 pm

"Guess you got off lucky then, huh?" Sean asked with a smile.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:25 pm

"Until the inevitable chew-out over this," he shuddered.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:28 pm

"Just don't go and get yourself cut off," Sean said, "Hate to see you in rags."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:30 pm

"Oh God... I hadn't even thought of that..."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:35 pm

"Probably should start thinking," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:42 pm

"Way to kill the buzz Hall."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:44 pm

"The world isn't all riding dragons, saving princesses, and stealing cars," Sean said.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:54 pm

"Wouldn't that be brilliant though?" he sighed, extremely deflated.

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:01 pm

"Right it bloody well would be," Sean smiled.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:22 pm

"I picked a hell of a time to start to grow up, didn't I?"

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 9:32 pm

"You have to do it eventually," Sean said, "Never said it'd be easy, necessary, not easy."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:13 pm

"Until now I always felt like 'growing up' meant stepping into my father's shoes and giving up ever really being able to make my own decisions."
