Between the Crosshairs

She chuckled softly. “Those two scents aren’t quite somethin’ you get rid of easily, are they?”

“Uh, well,” She rubbed the back of her neck. “Upholstery’s taking it a bit far - it’s just a canvas chair. But the stain ain’t coming out.”

“You don’t know that.” Finn pointed out, placing his hands on his hips. “You didn’t even look. So no.”

“I been here a while, kid. Didn’t see a ball come in.” She glared at him. “You wanna look, fine. Be quick.”

“I’m looking for my ball. I was givin’ it a bit of a toss n’ junk and then I lost it. No clue where the fuck it went.” He pulled a face and looked her over suspiciously. “What are you doing out off hours?”

“It ain’t here,” she said shortly. “So get out.” There was no reason for her to explain herself to the kid.

Her eyes narrowed, looking the Scout over. “What the hell you doin’ here?”

He took the can of coffee off the shelf and turned to face her. “Yeah, I’m goin’.” Sidling out of the pantry, he moved to the sink to grab the dish soap as well. Pocketing the bottle, he looked over his shoulder to see if she’d stop him. “Yeh didn’t see nothin’.” 

She saw him, all right, but she rolled her eyes at him. “Please. I got better stuff to do than pick at you.” She was curious, though, about the reason behind the dish soap. Her eyes fell to the can of coffee in his hand, though. “Did ya take the last thing of coffee?”

Liv was just grabbing a quick something to eat before heading back outside. She honestly hadn’t been expecting to run into anyone, but lo and behold, there was a person already in the pantry. “Uh, hey,” she said, moving back with a sigh. Leaning against the counter, she decided she’d wait till they were done. “Just take your time, yeah? Don’t think I’m rushing you.”

Anonymously send me '+' and a question and my muse has to answer honestly no matter how uncomfortable it makes them

She’d been deep in thought, mind wandering when all of a sudden, someone was near. Snapping out of it, she moved back to avoid the crash as well. “The hell?”
