Riding the Rails || Closed RP || @eveycomesundone
Presit was almost late for his train. He had taken a stagecoach, which should have been the fastest way to get there, but a wheel hit a loose rock hard and a crack formed in an axle. They had to move much more slowly than they otherwise would have.
He was one of the last passengers to board, several pieces of luggage being toted around by a uniformed railroad employee. As a small case was slammed into a door frame, just as the steam engine started moving forward, the man began yelling in German at the teenager.ย
โBe careful with that, clumsy idiot!โ he shouted, suddenly shifting to English.ย โI have delicate items in there.โ Presit sighed and slid off his round spectacles, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe off the lenses.ย โIโd like a car to myself, please.โ
The porter looked confused.ย โIโm sorry sir, ah, we have quite a few people travelling and every one has passengers in it.โ
Presit made an annoyed sound.ย โVery well. Take me to the one with the fewest people. I have work to do and the fewer distractions the better.โ
