Will found the boy gradually sliding and making his way closer. This contact wasn't intended to be as sour as it was. Though it remained not a shock. With the harsh stones that the day had pelted on the boy, Will expected much bitterness - and again, it was not a surprise.

Once making his way home, with the boy following, time seemed to go by slowly.

They were compelled to make a brief introduction to one another, being reminded that they continued to be strangers. Though it was probably okay, as two names would only barely impact what they day had become.

"Finn," Will hummed, just to try it. "Finn."

The boy, Finn, glanced up towards Will. "Huh?"

"Oh, nothing."

Finn reached out for the man's slightly large two fingers, tenderly though very lightly. Will felt the mean, battered knuckles and utter madness within the grip. And it-

"Hey," Finn spoke, disrupting his train of thoughts. Well, it was maybe more as a street race route instead of train tracks, due to the bumps and unimaginable paths ahead. Oh well, at least they were getting somewhere within a decent rate and difficulty.

Will had been grateful, for this had been the most of Finn's voice he'd heard all day. He attempted to drag this along to keep the touch and also to dig some unsolved conflicts. "Yes?"

"Why are you so nice?"

How would he respond? No, more as: how could a person ever ask such a thing? It wasn't Finn's place, no one's place actually. Why would someone so easily exclude the world and imply an individual as nice? Where did Finn's you originate? Just the tone he inquired with, the way he laid the question down. Simply as if no one else cared but the one you, the you being Will - a stranger, just happening to be in the pet shop at abuse o'clock. And there was no choice but to consider that there was more than an AM and PM label on abuse o'clock, which had been insulting to Will's nature.

Will said, "Because." Yes, just a quick word. What else for him to speak? It wasn't so easy to summarize in a way Finn would level with, not regarding the fact that it would be hard for Will to even get it all out.

Finn sighed. Apparently he was to wonder again later.
