(okay :] )<br/><br/>Sepiroth nods slowly, he slows his pace so Shawn can easy keep up without overexerting or hurting himself. Sepiroth notices Shawn's dumbfounded look and shrugs his shoulders. “he's the only one who<br/>gives me rides, and ether way I cannot avoid him forever.. especially when I'll need my pay check.” he says by way of explanation. “but as you wish, we will walk.” he smiles a little at Shawn when he mentions he'll be slow. “do not worry about it, Shawn.. the important thing is that we get you back in one piece, as opposed to pieces of pain.” he looks concerned. “I see.. do you know what strength your glasses are? I could try and get you some new ones if you like, though I cannot promise that I will succeed.. I will do my best and try to.”<br/><br/>Sepiroth bites his lip as he gazes at his phone, he doesn't notice Shawn carefully walking over. Sepiroth's only focused on the name that flashes on the screen, his hand starts to shake slightly. For Sepiroth times come to a stand still and he feels faint, unknowing of his own body's movement or anyone elses he tries to catch his breath. The phone still rings and Sepiroth knows he needs to answer it. He notices Shawn's smile and smiles back- but its a forced smile that doesn't reach his fearful eyes. “I..need to take this..” he looks around for somewhere Shawn can sit, but in the end sighs. “we can carry on walking if you like..” he says gently before answering his phone.<br/><br/>“yes, master?” he says quietly in a hollow voice, flinching as abuse spills from the other end. His father roars various obscenities and amidst the almost psychotic rage the words. “I OWN YOU, YOU BELONG TO ME! WITHOUT ME YOU ARE NOTHING!” can be heard, but really it's surprising that Sepiroth can even understand his father. Sepiroth lowers his head and whispers. “I know, master.. you don't need to tell me.. yes, yes.. c-can I call you back l-later?” he listens for some moments before saying. “y-yes master, thank you..” he hangs the phone up slowly, a glassy look in his eyes.
