Sunlit Coincidence

Cub liked this cafe. The one that Scar frequented near campus was nice, too, but it got busy and loud fast. Cub wasn't always in the mood to deal with that, but sometimes he did want to do something other than just go to work and then go home. Today in particular, he was glad he did. It wasn't easy; sometimes, his vision would play tricks on him in the brightness of the over-city, so far removed from the pitch-black world he'd been raised in. The only light occasional flickers of turquoise skulk flora growing over the stone. They'd tried to warn him that day, just the same as every day before, tried to protect him as they always did, his only friend in the world. Friend being quite an overstatement. It had been too loud, too bright, he'd been too slow, and had it been anyone else well...Cub wasn't sure if he'd still be breathing today.Much less breathing fresh air.Yeah, he was glad he'd stopped by the cafe today. It was good, for once, to run into a familiar face.{In which Cub can't have heard that right, Sausage is a ray of sunshine even if neither of them had seen the sun before, and they have 26 years of catching up to do.}(Hermit-a-Day May Day 13: Cubfan135)
