WHO: Adam Young and Ben Braeden
WHAT: Exploring.
WHEN: Not long after this.
WHERE: The forest near the edge of Colligo.
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

The sun was shining brightly from above, casting a white glow across the light coloured pavement that criss-crossed all over the city of Colligo. On the stairs at the base of one of the apartment buildings - Apartment Building A, to be exact - that was intermingled with some of these criss-crossing walkways, was a young boy by the name of Adam Young.

Adam was a bit scrawny and certainly unkempt as most little boys often are. Not quite gangly just yet but certainly no longer burdened with the chubbiness of a young child either. His blond hair was almost white in the sunlight and the way he squinted against the brightness made his nose crinkle slightly. There were holes where the knees of his jeans belonged. The material was frayed a bit, the denim stretched and torn in the pursuit of climbing trees and crawling through brush. One trainer-clad foot dangled across two of the stairs, the offending appendage bouncing about at a tune that no one could hear. The boy sighed softly, glanced at his PDA for the time (he'd forgotten to put on his watch), then twisted around so he could see the doors leading out of the building. It felt as though he'd already been waiting forever. However just as he considered giving up, he noticed someone stepping out of the doors and perked up a bit in the hopes it would be his new potential friend.

When it was revealed to be someone else, Adam huffed softly and flopped back down onto the stairs. To pass the time, he went over the plan in his head. Mostly, it was to see what they could find in the forest. There was a whole city to explore, of course, but starting with a place that he knew pretty well just made sense. He gave a slight nod at this and turned at the sound of the door opening once more. He hoped it was Ben. At this rate he was starting to wonder if he shouldn't have insisted on talking to Dean and Claire. Or maybe just insisting Ben could go and would be on time. Either way would have worked, he was sure.

Adam wanted to correct his friend. He wanted very much to point out that Dean seemed pretty happy with Claire, and that it wasn't very fair of Ben to just show up and take Dean away from her like that. He wanted to explain that the odds of Ben being able to leave, especially with Dean in tow, were pretty much slim to none. He wanted to make sure his new friend understood that it was really for the best that he just accept his time at Colligo and try to enjoy himself instead of fighting it at every turn.

However, he didn't say any of that. He just sat there, studying Ben with a thoughtful look for a few minutes, before finally offering a small smile. "I think," he said slowly, the words forming in his mind even as he said them, "that you ought to just let Dean and Claire know that you still want to go. Secrets are never any good, 'specially when they're about feelings."

He shifted a bit in his chair then glanced toward the window nearest him, peering out the gaps in the boards that covered the broken panes. The sound of leaves being disturbed became audible within a few seconds of his looking and Adam physically relaxed when a jogger simply made his way down the path and out of sight. Adam looked back to Ben.

"C'mon," he insisted with a grin, "let's do something!"
