Connor played with a necklace around his scarred throat, staying as far from the guy as he could on the sidewalk. He gazed down at his feet, glanced at her occasionally. She was the only reason he hadn't told this guy to fuck off quite yet. She was so bouncy and happy, it reminded him of his own little sister, the innocence. "C-Connor.." He mumbled.

"It's across the street," Archie gently pulled her pigtail and pointed to the ice cream shop. She smacked his hand playfully before grabbing onto it. Her other hand grabbed Connor's, smiling up at him. "It's for safety," She chanted, jumping from the sidewalk. Archie smirked faintly as he looked over at Connor.
"Let's goo," Sofia pulled their hands, leading them across the street and waiting by the door. Archer pulled the door open. His hand helf her back as a few people came out, but when they were gone she leaped into the shop. He followed in after Connor, the door closing softly behind them. "You can get whatever you want," He told Connor, looking him over before catching up Sofie, who was already jumping up and down to read the menu. She jumped into his arms, pointing up at the menu. "Cookie?"
"That's all you want?" He asked, reading over the menu for himself.

Connor bit his lip, holding on to her hand with his own thin and scarred one. But when the guy looked his way, he dropped his gaze, working his jaw. They reached the shop and he slipped inside, again looking away as the guy looked towards him. He eyed the menu, didn't thing he would eat anything, though. He didn't want to get sick. Not to mention starving himself made for a decent punishment. He asked for a small cone with a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"I want that," She pointed to the ice cream cone they brought Conor and looked back to the Cashier to see if he was putting it into the computer.
"You can't have a cone.. you'll get the ice cream everywhere, but your mouth and mom won't be happy about that." Archie stepped up to the counter and she crossed her arms in protest. "Fine.. put me down," She grummbled, wiggling around til' he sat her down. "Sit with me," Sofia pleaded with Connor. She danced her way over to a chair and climbed in, looking between Connor and her brother as she stood up. Archie handed a twenty over, stuffing the change back in his pocket. The cashier handed him Sofia's cup of icecream and her cookie. Archie put the cookie ontop of the ice cream, grabbing his shake with his other hand as he started to the table.

Connor gazed down at her quietly, followed her to the table and sat down with a grimace. He felt blood trickle down his arm beneath his sleeve from the razor cuts there, shifted his weight. He licked at his icecream a moment, nit all that interested in it no matter how amazing it tasted, starved body begging for food. But food did nothing for him but make him sick usually.

Archie placed her stuff on the table, telling her to sit down as he pulled out his own seat. "You forgot spoon," She drawled as she poked his arm rapidly. He shook his head and excused himself. "Is it good?" Sofia asked, leaning against the table as she watched Connor eat. Only to look to Archie as he returned with her spoon. She took it happily and moved the cookie onto the table before digging in to her own ice cream. When she looked up, there was minty green ice cream covering her lips. Which she spread across her cheek as she wiped her hand across her mouth. "And napkins.. I forgot napkins," Archie chuckled and got up again.

"Yeah.." Connor watched her, a smirk passing his lips at the guys comment despite himself. He shifted his weight, glancing at the girl, and rubbed at his bleeding wrist before ruffling the little girls hair gently. "H-how old are you?" He asked curiously.

Archer placed the napkins in the center of the table. He sat down in his chair quietly, sipping his shake as he watched Sofia rub at her mouth. "Four, what 'bout you?" She asked, wadding the napkin up and throwing it at the table. Sitting down in her seat, her head barely peeked over the top of the table. Her hands felt around the table til' she found her cup and pulled it into her lap.

Connor smirked. "Y-yeah? S-seventeen." He coughed, grimacing and rubbing at his throat. "My sister i-is seven.." He licked his lips, gazing down at his ice cream halfheartedly. The sleeve of the ratty hoodie he had on starting to show blood seeping through. He dropped it into his lap.

"That's close to Archie. He's eighteen." She looked to her brother and back down to her cup of ice cream. When her head finally reappeared above the table, she had ice cream on her nose. Sofie stood, leaning over the table to place the cup in the middle. "Where is she?" She asked.
"Sof, your nose." Archie sat his shake down, but before he could do anything, she grabbed her cookie and jumped down from her seat. "Want some?" She peered up at Connor as she climbed into the seat next to his.

"Sh-she..don't live with me.." He mumbled. He watched her get up, shook his head at the offer. He reached for a napkin, barely noticing the streak of blood he left on the table as he took one with fumbling right fingers. Taking it in his left, he wiped the ice cream from her nose.

She wrinkled her nose as he wiped it off, "Why?" Sofia pinched off a piece of her cookie, looking up at Connor. Archie sighed, his eyes seeing the streak of blood as he went to pick up his shake. "Um.." He mumbled, and picked up one of the used napkins. When all the blood was on the napkin, he tried to hide it in another. Sofie didn't like violence or blood, and he always tried to hide it from her.
"Are you bleding?" Her eyes catching a glimspe of the redden napkin. Archie shook his head and wrapped the wad into a bigger one as he added a few more napkins. "Why's there blood?" She asked, setting her cookie down. She looked to Connor with her big brown eyes, a worried expression on her face. "You need band-aids?"

"She's not a-allowed to," He murmured, uncomfortable with talking about it. He tensed at the mumble from the other guy, watching him wipe up the blood warily. Overturning his right, half paralyzed arm, he bit his lip at the blood seeping through, shook his head in response to the little girl.

Archie stood, making his way to the trash to throw away the napkins.
"But you're scratched.. I have pink butterfly band-aids." Sofia reached across the table, her fingers stretching to reach his hand. "It make you feel better," She pleaded, looking to Archie as he came back. "Can we go get band-aids?"
"If he wants to come and let you decorate him with pink band-aids," He shrugged, picking up his shake.

Connor worked his jaw warily, not so sure he even wanted to go with them. Thise sure as hell weren't scratches. And as soon as he pulled his sleeve up, the guy would know exactly why he was bleeding. He licked his lips, gazing down at the table, suddenly not so sure why he had even come with then. It had only been asking for trouble. "Band-aids a-are gonna help..." He murmured.
