( It's alright, Carmy — he sometimes has that effect on people. When you normalize the weird, when you don't freak out, the people around you tend to chill the fuck out, too. Well, sometimes they do. Other times they completely ignore your advice and then wind up doing some stupid Protagonist bullshit and promptly die or get abducted by aliens or something, but the smart ones chill the fuck out. The ambiance really isn't so bad, once you do that. It goes from outright creepy to a little weird but maybe in a quirky way?
It's definitely not the tourist-y answer he'd maybe been expecting, but he appreciates the honesty anyway. Something real beats empty small talk, usually, provided he actually likes the person he's talking to. )
Yeah, um- yeah, for the most part. The foster system sent me to a family out of state for a little while, but I- wound up coming back.
( By choice, not because the family didn't want him anymore, for once. But the thing is, he couldn't see Sabine anymore. It's a long story — one he probably won't tell today. )
I always planned to leave, when I got older. It didn't work out for a long time, but I did finally manage to get out right before Thorne brought me here, which is... kind of annoying, now that I think about it.
