are you waiting for something,
or did something find you already?

[As expected, something toddles along behind him, looking all around until she finds something to trip over or almost bump into, when the sound of him isn't enough to keep her or her wandering mind on track. When presented with another book, something leans a little to the side rather than just tilting her head, as if furthering the action will make it so she can get a better idea than before. The cover is torn up, but the part that she can see... There's a groan inside that manages to crawl it's way out of her closed mouth. The same nagging insistence from before was telling her that sure, this one might technically be a friend, but it's that messy bitch in middle school that kept causing problems and their moving away wouldn't be the end of the world. Whatever that means...

Still, Teo is kind and knows more than her, so one of something's arms drifts back out as if to take this book as well.]

[She groans, which could be a zombie groan but it could also be a judgemental person moan. He laughs.]

Come on... they're fun...! Don't be... like that...

[He slips the book into the front pocket of his hoodie. It's a bit of a tight fit, but he makes it work.]

Well... Your loss... Guess we'll... keep going then...

[She doesn't object, even though she watches his every move with that inherently unimpressed stare. Sure, sure, keep your book. Something clumsily tries to find her own hoodie pocket, pawing useless at her stomach before giving up and lolling her head to the side.]

Uhhnnn.

[As if in agreement, she jitters to a start again, tripping over herself for a second before moving along with the forward momentum. Maybe she doesn't know where she's going, and maybe she'll never have somewhere to go, but something doesn't seem to mind it, in the moment.]
