Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

Throughout the lawn, tables and chairs had been set up and scattered, some out in the bright, sunny center of everything, and some in the darker, more remote areas.

Eat up, folks! Don't let that food go to waste!

[OCD up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"You were locked up too?"

The other words made little sense to Nathan but he knew the concept of being caged. He knew that very well.

"Which, uh, seems to give away what I was doing beforehand. I ran away too."

Anders nodded grimly. He wasn't surprised. "Were you in a Circle too, or was it something equally wonderful?" he wanted to know. "I'd been there since I was 12, and trying to get away almost as long."

"I don't know what the Circle is. Sorry," he said, shaking his head. "I'm just not supposed to exist so the ruling body has been trying to make that become a reality."

It was vague, he knew, but he was still feeling everything out. Though, with what Anders had told him, Nathan didn't think he had any malevolent ulterior motives here.

"It's all right," Anders told him vaguely. "Sounds like you had it worse than me. I'm allowed to exist as long as I do it where and how they want."

"That doesn't sound like much of an existence," Nathan said, frowning. "Do the people who you ran from, do they know you're here?"

"Possibly," Anders said. "They have my phylactery, anyhow. If I'm as far from home as I seem to be, might take them a good long time to track me with it. But that's a problem for another time."

He shrugged a little. "What about you?"

"I don't know but I don't doubt that they'll find me eventually," he said, pursing his lips at the thought. "It might take them awhile though. That's a luxury I haven't had for awhile."

It'd give him time to think and plan without the thought of having to look over his shoulder every five minutes.

"This place might give me a brief advantage."

"That's what I'm hoping for," Anders nodded. "A brief advantage, and a soft bed to enjoy while I have it. I hope it works for both of us."

He realized he'd skipped a thing or two. "By the way, I'm Anders."

"Nathan," he supplied with a nod. "And I'll take just being able to sleep in peace. To not worry about being woken up by something or another."

He hadn't been able to get that kind of freedom for a long while. "I hope it works as well."
