Afol walked into the cafeteria, towering over some of the patients as he looked around. With the mix of silver hair, height, and massive amounts of scarring on his body, he stuck out like a sore thumb even in the boring grey attire. Making his way to the food line, he grabbed a tray. The lady gave him a tray of 'food' that looked more like slop, but it didn't affect him much as he still said a thanks and sat down to eat. As he started to eat the bland food he looked around a little.
Tim slowly got his food and sat down a little farther away from everyone else as he looked down at the terrible looking slop
Afol noticed this, wondering if he should walk over or not. He continued to eat his food in silence, wishing he had something to hide his scars as he saw some other patients staring.
Timothy sighed and didn’t even touch the food as he then looked up to see a tall man
Afol started to look uncomfortable, trying to pull his sleeves and collar to hide himself more. He hated the staring.
Tim waved slightly before looking down as he noticed how uncomfortable he was. He then got up as he didn’t want to bother anyone else and he went to throw away his not touched food
Afol noticed the wave and he waved slightly back.
Tim then threw his food away and then sat down across from the man he waved to,” hello...”
“Hey....” Afol looked at him a little surprised, “How are you?”
Tim looked to him,” I’m doing alright... a bit upset I’m here but what can I do about it... and you?”
“I’m doing ok.... I don’t like it here either.” He hummed slightly
Tim nodded and thought,” if I may ask, what I made you in here for?”
Afol looked a little surprised by the question, but answered, "O-Oh um, war trauma. You?"
Tim nodded and looked down,” suspected self harm, possible Bipolar and attempt in suicide... multiple times..” he said a bit quieter
Afol nodded softly, frowning a little. “Sorry to hear that.... I’m not suicidal myself but one of my old friends were. It’s not easy.”
Tim shrugged,” it’s ok... I guess it’s safer here for me anyway...” he said and smiled as he tried to become happy again
Afol nodded slightly, “Well I hope it’s safe here. It’s still my first week here.” He sighed, “It’s a lot safer than where I was begging though....”
Tim nodded,” I hope so as well” he said and sighed,” yeah it’s my first full day here”
Afol nodded, “Well so far the doctors are nice and they seem to be reasonable as long as you don’t start a fight with anyone if that helps. I saw a patient break someone’s arm and he’s in temporary solitary confinement.”
Tim nodded and then looked worried,” gosh... I really shouldn’t be here...” he said sadly
