Or a Celandine. And there she was, a little beam of sunshine right in the middle of the train. He paused to lean against the nearest door, grinning at how Cela managed to fuss over some poor little underclassman. She was cute.
"Hey, Sunshine."
Celandine beamed up at Copernicus when she heard his voice and whipped her head around to find the source. She shuffled over on her knees, wrapped her arms around Cope's legs in a fierce hug and gave him a little smile before shuffling back over to Willie's side and sitting crosslegged by the littlest Crocker.

If he were just hit without them, he would've been better off!
"My shoulder 'urts, " he muttered. "But it ain't tho bad." That was somewhat of a lie. A small smile then grew on his lips and he turned his head and opened his eyes. "I ain't wearin' no shoeth, Thella."
Cela reached out her hand and gently brushed her fingers against Willie's shoulder, her eyes all wide and concerned. "What happened to your shoes?" Cela hadn't even thought to comment on it because not wearing shoes was sometimes like a lifestyle choice. And why no answer to the stinky?
