[-][1x1][L-N+] Walls and Silence (with Rent_junkie)

[Rent_junkie]

"Is something wrong Olan?" He signed to him and started to eat.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

"I still feel like a pet," Olan said, unable to sign with the sandwich in his hands. "I guess it's not a bad thing, but..."  

[Rent_junkie]

"But what? What is so wrong about me taking care of you?"  

[BrokenScreamBox]

"There's nothing wrong with that! I just... I don't know... It's weird... like I'm owned or something."  

[Rent_junkie]

"Yes well feel glad that you're my pet. If you weren't you'd be dead."  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Olan said nothing more and just bit into his sandwich. He wished that man from last night had never talked to him, never said anything about pets. The last thing the deaf boy wanted was to doubt his caretaker.  

[Rent_junkie]

He sighed. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Olan still didn't say anything. He just continued eating, shaking slightly as he did so.  

[Rent_junkie]

Marco set his sandwich aside and held on to Olan rubbing his back.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Olan began calming down, but remembered where they were. "What if someone comes?" he asked, attempting to pull away.  

[Rent_junkie]

Marco straightened up. "Good point.Let's go back to my office."  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Olan nodded, but a movement in the corner caught his eye. Had someone seen them? Or was that a rat? He didn't want to know.  

[Rent_junkie]

He grabbed his food and headed back to his office.  

[BrokenScreamBox]

Olan followed, but at a distance. He was still a little scared of Marco.  

[Rent_junkie]

When he got to his office he noticed Olan was far behind. He wondered why he was so far away.
