you're in the middle of the ride

“ Yeah, I guess. ”

Calvin leans into her hug, half-heartedly returning it. His mom is just one of many things that have been weighing heavy on his mind lately- but she is certainly the biggest.

“ I just kinda wish I was there lookin’ out for her, yanno? I mean, I know she’s got all my brothers and shit, but… I hate not bein’ there for her when there’s so much shit goin’ on. Between her gettin’ sick, n’… ”

He sighs deeply.

“ Guess Frank is gonna be in town. ”

“Yeah, I know. I was th’ same way when my ma was sick...”

Selina stiffens, almost too noticeably, when Calvin mentions his dad. With any luck, he’ll assume it’s because of their mutual hatred of the man; Selina spent almost as much time around Frank as Calvin did.

In all honesty, Selina’s probably spent more time around Frank than any of his actual kids. His old man’s been hiding out in Washington almost since Selina was forcibly moved there at 12. Her father and Frank had always been close, and so he had hung around them a lot. 

Calvin doesn’t know anything about that though, and Selina’s not exactly eager to share that information.

“Yeah, ain’t you Calvin’s friend? He says you’re a whole lotta talk ‘n not much else.”

She pauses and pretends to think before resuming the stretching she’d been in the middle of. She’s pretty visibly not taking Tess as any sort of threat.

∀ : Your muse's favorite position?

She is a big fan of spooning (see here)

Á : Is your muse loud in bed?

Not really. She’s got a long history of sneaking boys into her house when she’s not supposed to so she’s well practiced in being quiet. Now it’s mostly out of habit that she doesn’t make much noise.
