Re: quick: aaron & destiny
[She saw him against the gas station, where old tires were stacked by a pile of neglected oil cans. She thought that he looked like a wounded fawn kinda small, and it made her tilt her head sympathetically when she called out to him, dew-gentle.] Oh honey, you alright?
[Destiny surveyed the gas station, which for all intents and purposes looked abandoned, except that she knew better. There was an old man who slept behind the counter, allowing for bored youth to shoplift candy and scratch offs at convenience. She glanced sideways to Wyatt, who was happily munching on slices of fruit. There was a smear of greasy ointment under his nose, and the boy was careful to avoid it while eating.
When Destiny got out of the truck and approached Aaron, she also had a smear of ointment under her nose. It looked greasy and unbecoming, like a vapor rub, but it smelled strongly of potent herbs, even from a foot away. Rosemary and clove, lemon and eucalyptus. The scent was medicine-y, but more overwhelming for her than it would have been for him.
She knelt with plenty space between them.] You wanna come on?
