— freddie made a habit of stealing a couch in the living room. he looked relaxed in his usual spot splayed across the cushions, hands on his abdomen, feet perched up on the arm of the furniture. one of his thumbs absently ran over the back of his hand, eyes closed. if anyone tried to make him get up, they would certainly be a dead man. nobody could mess with fred’s relaxation and get away with it. nobody had the guts to, either--
except for edmund. of course it had to be edmund.
the walkie talkie made him peek an eye opening, listening absently to the message. eddie made the announcement into the walkie talkie that he needed as many people outside. two dozen people were walking to the front entrance.. his eyes slowly wandered around the living room, watching as people parked up before setting in action. he tried not to grumble as he slowly sat up, rubbed at his face, and then stood up. he grabbed his gun from the coffee table, only looking alert once he exited the lodge.
the entire interaction went past freddie as he still tried to wake himself from his afternoon rest-- all he could focus on was glancing through the group, at all the unfamiliar men and women.. he retreated back into the lodge momentarily, returning with a blanket. he ignored the interactions between this dale guy and edmund, instead choosing to wander over towards one of the prettier faces. “here,” he said with a warm smile, putting the blanket carefully over her shoulders. she clung to it tightly, her body shivering in the cold. “let's get you inside.”
the slow smile on the woman’s face as eyes met his was genuine and real, as she uttered a quiet, “thank you. you’re too kind.” fred shrugged as they walked, but made no effort to argue with the fact. granted, his intentions weren’t entirely genuine. the man merely saw an opportunity and he took it; he didn’t seem fazed with the idea of using this horrible, tragic event to get laid.
if it took playing the naive, sweet boy to get to his desired end goal- then he was definitely willing to go the distance, here. his hand lingered on her back as she walked, shaking hands feebly holding onto the blanket. she flinched, briefly hunching over. eyes wandered over her figure, looking at the blood on her tattered shirt. “you’re injured,” he stated, looking over at her before gently urging her forward. “come on. i’ll get one of those med kits for you once we’re inside.”
after a moment, she continued forward. he took the moment to glance back at the group again, looking over their pitiful state. jesus.. bluestem certainly did a number on them… his gaze wandered towards eddie’s silently, getting only a glimpse at the fire in his eyes before walking back into the lodge. “i don’t think i got your name?”
he hadn’t realized his smile had faltered momentarily. he pressed his lips together, forming a tight-lipped smile. ”freddie."
she smiled back. "gwen."
gaze lingering momentarily, he turned his gaze away before he headed further into the lodge. "let me get that med kit.”
