Re: In person: Misha B/Damian W
[Misha, he waited 'til Damian scooted 'fore touching him, and then he turned some, so he could see Damian real straight on as the boy curled 'round. He looked down, chin 'gainst chest, and he took in wild hair and large eyes. The shoes, them he reached and took from 'round Damian's neck, and he batted away the nails that picked at palm.] You quit that. [He drew back more some, and he tipped Damian's chin and tried to get a real good look at the other boy's pupils. And, Misha, he knew Damian was there, right there, real close; he could see and touch him, but he couldn't feel him, and it was real maddening.] Did you buy something? [Because, Misha, he still wasn't sure any. And there were spaces in the talking, while he thought at Nilus, and he pet Damian's chin while he worried in his own head.]
