rarely do they give him the anticipation a teen like him needed to be engaged. instead , they were the same — a time waster if you asked him — waking up at the asscrack of dawn to just stare out at a bunch of trees until the sun rose and like clockwork , there was a rotation. in all honesty , he'd be willing to do just about anything else at this point but hey; he reaps what he sows.
at least freddie was here , if nothing else. he was far more entertaining than anyone else in this patrol. rory was still jaded , trudging quietly behind the others with his hands stuffed in his pockets when he heard a yelp of surprise. one of the men , notably taller than him , nearly bowled him over. well , that was enough to alert him — "what the fuck , man?" he growled. the man , visibly annoyed , snorted. "blame that asshole." he muttered , gesturing towards freddie , who led the crew , demanding a story to be told. the last thing he needed was to get into a fight , even worse , over something someone else caused.
"how about a joke instead?" rory weaves his way to join freddie , falling just little ways behind him. once there'd been a man that he knew , possibly in bluestem , that harbored jokes like the fuckin' encyclopedia. he told them so much that rory couldn't help but recall a joke or two. he never thought he'd ever use them , but here he goes. clearing his throat melodramatically, his eyes lifted into a smirk. "why can't a nose be 12 inches?"
