around the block

who: caleb and porter
where: the streets around his new place
when: late evening

Caleb was out walking around. He had his earbuds in his ears, and he wasn't necessarily paying much attention to where he was headed, truth be told. Mostly, he was getting used to the new neighborhood he'd been moved to. He was a big fan of knowing where the fuck he was at any given moment, just in case. He'd already mapped out how to get to Nic's fastest.

He was also thinking about heading to the orphanage. He'd gone to visit Leija...but she apparently had been taken out. Checked out and he found out after that that she'd moved. He'd gone to her house but it was empty, a for sale sign in the snowbank out front. It left a hollow place in his chest, and he couldn't quite explain why. Possibly the leaving without even a text to say goodbye. He wasn't sure. About all he was solid on was he was probably being an idiot about it, but that didn't really help his disposition at all.

So, feeling fairly strange and weirdly lonely, he was out walking, mentally marking streets down in his mind, just in case.
