Legendless
Netherworld Overlord
Liselle looked around as if she expected someone to come by. She almost stopped a few people but then she looked back at the boy.
"Well I hope you do well. I got work....in some time. Do you have a watch?" Liselle doubted that but she had to ask. She felt a bit weird talking to him, but it was weirder to just not talk to any of the others. She felt a bit lonely too if she was being honest with herself. She missed her family, her parents though they fought a lot and Lys too. Lys... Was she talking to Julian because she missed him? The boy couldn't replace her brother, no one could, but still.
"But I might listen to you for a while," she admitted. "I like listening to you play."

Chris shook her head at her brother's first words but then listened silently as he spoke on about his plans. He was right. They had been through a lot of shit, more than most kids could have handle. Chris knew she handled it badly and she was still doing it, but she didn't want to think on that. It would only make her feel worse and Xander was trying to make her feel better.
She wasn't sure about his plans. The jobs part didn't sound too impossible. She thought it might be possible for him to get a good job, especially once over eighteen. Maybe Kat would get one too or something. But Chris was unsure of what her own future held. She didn't think anyone would hire her. Finding a job being blind would not be easy. Schooling would be hard too. And Chris doubted anyone would want her. Her beauty was marred and she was difficult to be around.
"I know," she said to Xander's last words and this time she hugged him tighter, meaning it. Her walls slipped down and she let herself be comforted in that moment. She needed it sometimes.
