alone [Fuzzy]

Caesi was lost in her book, for once actually, trying to learn about how to make a homeopathic form of painkiller. Of course, this required the knowledge of knowing what went into a painkiller. No one really told caesi anything because they didn’t want her to be blowing up the district like her father did. She knew that she could be careful, but people didn’t let her try, so she would never get the chance. Sadly.

As she was about to flip the page, she heard someone coming up to her. She was confused, as she knew that Franc couldn’t have already found her. It should have taken him at least another hour or so. She sighed as she looked up to see another girl who seemed like she was irritated over something. Caesi was confused.

Then she opened her mouth.

Of course, Caesi usually would have took this moment to gather her things and simply walk away from the situation because that was what was kind of expected of her. However, she really wasn’t in the mood to get up. She was comfortable, and she was enjoying the silence. That was until the girl in question walked up to her and ruined it for her.

“Could you lower your voice a bit? Theres no reason to yell.” Caesi started, turning the page to her book, unphased. “But I’m not moving.” She said. “We could share it if you want.”.

Caesi wasn’t fazed. She was resilient in every way that she could be. She had heard worse from other people that were more important. Obviously this one had a bit more bite to her, and to be honest, Caesi was kind of enjoying that. Someone who wanted to fight for something as trivial as a spot on the ground meant that she had a lot more going on in her world then she wanted to let on. That was fine, Caesi could relate to that.

“No.”

Caesi said, looking up from her book for a second before letting her eyes fall back down on the page. Why should she care? There was literally a mile of free spaces between them and she had to have this one? Caesi let out a small chuckle, thinking about humoring the girl who was getting heated over something trivial.

“Oh, I can afford to not share things either. However, there are a million other spots here. What’s so special about this one. Please, tell me. This should be good.”

Caesi could be rude. When she wanted. It wasn’t often when she was, but she knew that she needed to have a little bit more backbone anyway.

She placed a finger on her book, looking up at the girl, waiting to hear a reason why she should get up.

Caesi was even more confused now. She still couldn’t find a reason to move from the spot that she was in. A “me” day wasn’t good enough reason, seeing as she was already comfortable where she sat. However, from the inflection of her voice, she could tell that maybe she did have a connection to the tree that she was sitting under. Of course, Caesi didn’t, she just chose this spot because it looked like it was hidden enough from people to see her. Other than that, Caesi’s will to stay in this spot shouldn’t have been as strong as it was. She could at least realize that.

“A ‘me’ day? Really? That is what we are going with.” She started, closing the book in her hand instead of trying to go back to reading. She was intrigued. “Tell me, what does a me day entail?” She asked, curious now, a trait that she picked up from Lithe. “Did you need to talk about something?” Caesi was confused. The idea of a “me” day was out of her grasp. “Here.” She scooted over a little so there was enough room for both of them to sit under the tree but still not be out of the district bounds. “You can calm down. I’m all ears. If you want.” She said, trying to mediate the situation a little bit. There was no need to fight. “I’m too comfortable to move anymore though, so that’s where I’m at. How about you?” She was honest. She still wasn’t going to move, but she was willing to listen.
