Paradox Fee
Dox had decided, after his encounter with Corzen, to go to the
Tolkien Beverage Bar and treat himself. His head didn't hurt as
much, and although his pride was wounded, he really needed to
think about why that was.
Not that he'd admit that to anybody. If anyone asked, he had an
excuse ready: he was simply being quiet, like he normally was.
Alternatively, he was thinking about how to keep his homework
load and sports commitments in balance. Or he was taking it easy
so he didn't aggravate the headache he knew would probably start
in a couple hours. Or he would just not talk about it and change
the subject.
But Corzen had made him self-conscious, and after years of
owning his body and actions like armor, one conversation had
totally turned him inside out and vulnerable, and he didn't like
it.
"Uh, banana-blueberry-blackberry smoothie, please." He asked the
server. "Biggest size you have." Then he sat his new purchase
and his wallet on the table next to him, hoping to deter anybody
from sitting there as he spent his precious alone-time mulling
over what had just happened.

Chevy Dawsom
Chevy clicked his tongue stud against his teeth rhythmically as
he stepped into the Tolkien Cafe. He loved his new body jewelry,
really, but the past month had been absolute hell while it
healed. Thankfully, the swelling was complete gone and he was
allowed to have more than ice cream and milkshakes, which is
exactly how he ended up at the cafe.
"Large Butter Beer and an order lembas bread." he rattled off as
he slipped into a seat and looked around. The cafe was empty,
save the staff and one boy sitting by his lonesome, looking
completely drained.
"Perk up, buttercup." Chevy called from his seat, "You look like
you've been through the wringer and back."

Dox was thankful the room was empty, until...
"Large Butter Beer and an order lembas bread." somebody rattled
off as they slipped into a seat.
Great. I just hope they don't want to talk to me...
"Perk up, buttercup." So much for being left alone. "You look
like you've been through the wringer and back."
"So I have been, but what's it to you?" Very rarely did he not
talk to company, but this company was unasked for and definitely
not wanted. " 'S none of your business." He didn't even properly
look at the customer, hoping that his body language would tell
them to let him alone.

Chevy Dawsom
"Perk up, buttercup!" he mused, looking over at his fellow
patron, "You look like you've been through the wringer and
back."
"So I have been, but what's it to you? 'S none of your
business." the other boy muttered, nothing even looking at Chevy
properly. Chevy raised an eyebrow, smirking a bit as he takes
his drink from the waitress with a nod and leaning toward his
company a bit.
"Well ain't you a ball of sunshine." He drawled, taking a sip of
his drink. "I'd tell you that you remind me of my mother, but
that would imply that you're either drunk or screwing the
staff." He shook his head and leaned back. "So what's go you
down? Roommate an asshole? Parents didn't help you move-in?"

"So I have been, but what's it to you? 'S none of your

properly in an attempt to end the conversation.
"Well ain't you a ball of sunshine." They drawled. "I'd tell you
that you remind me of my mother, but that would imply that
you're either drunk or screwing the staff. So what's go you
down? Roommate an asshole? Parents didn't help you move-in?"
Dox gave up on ignoring them and turned around. After appraising
the guy sitting in front of him, he said, "No, none of that."
But he didn't say anything, still wary. "What's your name?"

Finally the other guy turned around to face him, appraising him
and making Chevy want to squirm under his gaze.
"No, none of that." The boy started, "What's your name?"
"Chevy, just Chevy." He answered, giving his companion a once
over, his smirk widening a bit. "What about you, stranger? You
got a name or should I stick with the nicknames, Dollface?"

Finally the Dox turned around and appraised his company.
"No, none of that." he said, "What's your name?"
"Chevy, just Chevy." He answered, giving Dox a once over, his
smirk widening and making Dox feel uncomfortable--the same kind
of discomfort he had felt after falling in the library, in front
of Corzen. "What about you, stranger? You got a name or should I
stick with the nicknames, Dollface?"
Dox rolled his eyes, but said, "Call me Dox. I'd prefer that to
any... nicknames." They'd all felt more like insults, anyway,
and it was about all he could take with his head in the state it
was, and all the things he had to think about. "And convince me
as to why I should share with you my problems, again?" he asked.
"Because I see no reason to, personally."

"Chevy, just Chevy. What about you, stranger? You got a name or
should I stick with the nicknames, Dollface?" He asked, checking
out his companion and smirking widely. The guy rolled his eyes a
little.
"Call me Dox. I'd prefer that to any... nicknames."
"Okay, Dox, what's got your panties in a knot?" Chevy pressed,
biting down on his bottom lip.
"And convince me as to why I should share with you my problems,
again? Because I see no reason to, personally." Chevy shrugged,
taking a long swallow of his butter beer, his tongue stud
clinking against the glass.
"I ain't going to convince you to spill your beans, Doxie." He
drawled, "You can keep it all locked up in that pretty little
head of yours, if you so please. Hell, I'll even get my order to
go and split it with my boyfriend if you really want me gone.
But, you see, I don't think you do."

"Call me Dox. I'd prefer that to any... nicknames."
"Okay, Dox, what's got your panties in a knot?" Chevy pressed,
seemingly intent. But Dox resisted.
"And convince me as to why I should share with you my problems,
again? Because I see no reason to, personally." Chevy shrugged,
taking a long swallow of his butter beer.
"I ain't going to convince you to spill your beans, Doxie." He

head of yours, if you so please. Hell, I'll even get my order to
go and split it with my boyfriend if you really want me gone.
But, you see, I don't think you do."
Dox narrowed his eyes, but decided he'd rather have help than
not. It wasn't often he got the offer in the first place,
anyway.
"Fine." he said after a moment. "Although I'm not entirely sure
what the problem even is."
If it's even a 'what' to begin with, either. he continued in his
head. Although I could still be wrong.
Just then his bruised head throbbed particularly nastily, and he
winced, hand automatically going up to cradle it, which just
aggravated the bruises on his arm. He shook his head after the
pain had passed, wishing he hadn't fallen. "Damn shoelace."
If he'd tied his laces correctly, he wouldn't have fallen in
front of anybody, and he'd probably be thick in the middle of a
conversation about French Literature with one of the few people
apart from professors he'd ever met with an interest in it. He
took another sip of his drink, trying to banish the thoughts
that were trying to worm their way into his head.
You think too much, Doxy. his sister always said, Give it a rest
sometime, ok? But some days he couldn't.
