| When she got back, Seth had drifted back to sleep, his arms crossed on the table and head leaning into the crook they made. | |

| Layla gingerly set the coffees down on the counter, finding the nearest heavy object she could silently, and dropped it onto the floor to startle the man awake. | |

| Seth scrambled up immediately, in a very ungraceful mix of flailing and falling before ending up half crouched, hand half pulling what looked like a revolver from a drawer before his eyes settled on her and he relaxed slightly. "You cannot do that." | |

| "Or what, you'll shoot me?" she sighed, handing him coffee, "Win-win situation there, if you recall." | |

| He shook his head, taking the hot drink and sipping at it. "I'd be pissed at myself if you died. I still don't get why I don't kick you out the back of the camper and jet." | |

| "Because I'd follow you anyways." she shrugged, handing him a foil wrapped breakfast burrito and his wallet. | |

| He grimaced, eyes falling from her to the burrito, which he unwrapped and bit into, dropping his wallet on the table. "She an'thing weird?" He asked, mouth half full as he flipped open a decrepit map of the area. | |

| "There was a funny fountain with a bull killing a wolf." she shrugged, looking up and glaring at him, "And the cashier who looked at me like satan incarnate when old condoms fell out of your wallet." | |

| He half smiled, chuckling slightly as he shook his head. "Yeah, well..." He mumbled before sipping at his coffee. "Bull and a wolf, huh?" | |

| She nodded, "Yeah, it was this big fountain, kids were playing around it like it wasn't creepy..." she mused. | |

| He shrugged. "Its probably been there their whole life." He said before angling the map at her, tapping on a picture above a tourist trap column. The picture was a similar bull, painted- or cast from- gold. "Like this?" | |

| "Huh." He said before eyeing the map for a few moments, squinting strangely at it. Finally, he stood, stretching a bit. "All right, well. Time to do a little recon." He said, guzzling the last of the scalding coffee and walking towards the door with a third of a burrito left. | |

| Layla looked at her food, barely touched, "Not gonna wait up?" | |

| "Burritos are mobile. C'mon. This parts safe, tag along." He replied to her. He stopped, looking back at her. "Unless you wanted to sit down and talk over breakfast like the big happy family we are." | |

| She rolled her eyes, taking her burrito with her and following, "I'm just saying, sitting down to eat isn't a huge luxury..." | |

| "Luxuries make you soft. Not to sound like some played out badass or anything." He said, walking down the street with her as he finished his food. As they passed a barbershop he dropped a few quarters in a newspaper stand to get a copy of the local paper. | |

| She rolled her eyes, "Like you don't get off on feeling superior." she muttered, watching the kids play as she ate. | |

| He shrugged. "I am superior." He stated matter-of-factly, starting to thumb through the pages of the paper.

| Layla sighed, still watching the kids play, one of them looking straight at them while he swung. "You know, my birthday is coming up." | |

| "Oh, yeah? What do you want?" He asked absently, eyes tracing through the various sections. | |

| She shrugged, not really sure, simply musing aloud as she watched the kid on the swing watch them, "I'll be legal." | |

| Seth flipped the paper down slightly, it crinkling in the middle as his brows furrowed and he looked over at her, mouth slightly open. "Oh yeah?" He replied after a pause, following her gaze to the child on the swings. "So what, you want kids?" | |

| She blinked, looking up at him, "Huh? No! Oh god!" she shook her head, "I meant that if you wanted me to go then, I could! God, what on earth is on your mind..." she shook her head, "The kid does kinda creep me out though." | |

| He pursed his lips slightly. "So you're telling me that you're sticking with me because you're not of age? Did I somehow get passed the torch of your legal guardianship? Love I've been by myself since I was fifteen, age is just a number." He said before folding the paper, looking at the obituaries. After she mentioned the bit about the kid, he grimaced a bit, looking over at it. "Yeah. Kids creep me out too." | |
