Dropping some money on the counter, Caelan pocketed one pack of cigarettes while opening the other and pulling one to light. After picking up the old habit, she had decided she had to go to the store and buy some. There was no way Jotaro and she would make it to India on one pack.
Polnareff gave her a smile, "Usually women nag about this kind of thing."
"Do you plan to nag me?" She asked as she pocketed the open pack.
"No," he put his hands up, "It's your choice. I'm just surprised."
She exhaled a large cloud, "Yeah, it's better this way, though. I shouldn't be going back to Egypt with withdrawals. Talk about distractions." For a brief moment, she stared at the stick, wanting to just toss it away. Putting it to her lips, she inhaled. Maybe she could find the willpower to quit when this was over.
"Caelan, Polnareff, you ready?" Jotaro asked, his hands in his pants pockets.
"You know, long sleeves are okay, but I don't think black is really going to help you stay cool," Caelan said as he lit his cigarette off hers.
He didn't reply. It didn't bother her, but something about it bothered Polnareff.
"Jotaro, is there a woman you do like? You've been nice to Anne, and that's it."
"Women tend to be annoying and talk to much, so I don't like being around them," Jotaro said. His blue eyes met Caelan's as she bit her lip to not laugh. He glared, but still told her, "Don't take it personally."
Waving her hand, she managed to swallow a laugh, "I wouldn't think anything of it. I understand your line of thinking, so I know when you're actually being mean."
For a moment he raised an eyebrow before looking stoic again. When they got back to the train station, it was time to board. The trio stepped onto the train, easily spotting Avdol in the crowded car. She took a seat by Polnareff, opting to watch the world fly by while he slept.
"Lick lick lick lick lick lick lick," Kakyoin mumbled behind her.
Looking over her shoulder, she saw a look of absolute disgust on Jotaro's face while watching Kakyoin played with a cherry on his tongue. She could see what the red head was doing in the reflection of the window and it made her shudder in discomfort. Why couldn't he eat it normally?
Throughout the train ride, the group played an unannounced game of musical chairs, swapping seats every so often just to stretch their legs. Caelan decided to get up to walk around the car,stretching her arms at the same time.
"Well, that's quite an outfit you've got there," a man said as he offered her a drink in his hand. "Why don't you lay off those losers you've been hanging with and come sit with me?"
It must have been the only pickup line he had since she was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. After a look around the cabin, she realized she was the only female that was under the age of fifty and not a mother.
Her eyes met the man's for a moment before she broke contact and walked around him. In her short wandering, she managed to pick up the same baby toy three times while the man followed her, talking the entire time.
"Stop talking," she finally told the man as she stood by the empty seat she planned to take. "Granny Gums back there said you have a nice butt. Go flatter her with your attention, I do not want it."
With a huff, she sat down across from Jotaro, crossing her arms over her chest as she glared at the teen who looked just as annoyed. To her surprise, the man pushed her to the side, sliding next to her in the small seat. Something knocked him out of the seat, catching a lot of people's attention around them.
