Day 35: Wicker Street

The sound of the dog lead Sheena to a building on the corner of the street. Seeing the name of it and the animals in the windows, she giggled, imagining how if Colette was here they'd never be able to get her to leave. The sweet angel would insist on staying until she held and played with every single puppy in the plac eand given them all names.

She'd only been gone a day and already Sheena was missing the simple things she'd come to accept traveling with her companions. She put her hand to the window, smiling softly (if a little lonely) at the puppy that noticed her and started wagging tis tail and licking the glass right where her hand was.

"Yes, I'm looking for a restaurant." He dug into the pocket of his jeans, hiking them back up before they slid too far, and produced the coupon book. "Um... the Twin Pines, I think." He looked around again.

"I'm being rude to you, aren't I?" he asked. "I am so sorry. It's all complicated to explain. My last roommate was a very bad man, a murderer and liar at the least, possibly much worse. I need to know more about my current roommate. I don't wish to be taken in by such lies again." Armand spoke urgently and rather too quickly for many to understand his accented English.

He gestured down the street to where he thought he'd barely spotted a sign that might what he was looking for. "Monsieur Badou Nails, that's my new roommate, has agreed to meet with another patient here. I want to see what transpires between them, so I can judge a bit better for myself. M. Nails has had little enough to say about himself in the past few days that I am quite unsettled, nay wary, of him."

Less than thirty minutes with this man, and Wash had learned almost his entire life. Well, all right, slight exaggeration. But regardless...Maybe he was just used to being around terse people like Zoe and Mal.

He nodded, deciding not to question anything. "That's understandable. Lying is--bad." He scanned his surroundings for a moment before pointing. "You mean that place over there?"

No one would ever call Armand terse. The only time he was quiet was when he was asleep or pouting. Being here in Doyleton had wound his nerves tighter than normal, which made him chatter even more. He looked toward where Wash was pointing and back at him. "Yes, I believe that's it."

"I'll just go see if they're there. Good day for now." He stepped away to let the other man depart.

Wash watched Armand walk away. That was kind of sudden. He must've been in a hurry.

Well, at least he'd helped the man find his destination. Which left him with nowhere else to go again. Maybe he could just wander.
