"Well,thank you for being honest,Honesty." Soldier said with a lazy smile. "If I make you uncomfortable,it's okay to ask me to leave." he added quickly and the smile slipped away and was replaced with a serious look. Just after he'd finished speaking a child ran past carrying ice cream and a man chasing him. Tge boy turned to face his father but lost his hold on the ice cream and it splattered all over the man's face and shirt. Soldier tried to keep his composure but failed miserably and began laughing. He slung his backpack to the ground and helped the man up. "You alright?" he snickered. The guy eyed him for a moment before grinning. "Well,I'm a little sticky,covered in a horrendous shade of pink bubble gum ice cream,and stripped of the little pride I had,but psychically I believe I'll survive." Soldier laughed and shook his head then dug into his backpack and pulled out a plain white t-shirt. "I was going to use this at the gym but you can have it. You certainly can't walk around like that." The man smiled. "Wow...thanks. I really appreciate it....No! Tommy!" he cried in exasperation and took off after the giggling little boy again.
"And dreams in their development have breath,and tears,and tortures,and the touch of joy; they leave a weight upon our waking thoughts,they take a weight from off our waking toils,they do divide our being."
