Roland had wanted to keep awake due to the fact that he had company, but since they really didn’t have nothing to discuss besides her family issues, he kept feeling tired and more weary with every second that had passed. As he tried to maintain an awake state of mind, he listened as Avery had commented to what he said about her not needing to work around the place because she does enough at her own home, with her saying that it just felt weird to her and it was very unusual to not do anything until she falls asleep. When she had said that, it made Roland feel more tired, but he still made a reply back to her whilst trying to keep wide open instead of thoroughly tired from a little bit of work. [i]“Normally I ain’t like this. (yawns..) But just that little bit of work could do something like this to me, gosh.”[/i]

Roland couldn’t think of anything to say really, but he did know that he wasn’t very active and knew that it was bad for him not to be, but that’s from not having responsibilities because of only being a long staying guest in someone else’s home. As he was trying to keep his eyes open, he looked over to Avery to notice that she had pulled out a big sketchbook and a writing utensil. From his assumption, she was about to draw something, or someone for that matter, but he didn’t really feel like being nosy about it. Instead, Roland just kept quiet and let her go ahead to do what she wanted while he turned back to the front of him, trying to stay awake and hoping that he wouldn’t fall asleep. Afterwards, Avery had popped a question to him, asking as to what he does for his free time.

[i]“Hmm?”[/i] Roland turned his attention back to her to notice that she was trying to start conversation with him, so he wiped his eyes to stay awake and attempted to answer her question. [i]“Well…..usually, me and Steven are hanging out a lot around here, unless he goes out to do something himself, then I’m just stuck here trying to find something to do to pass the time by.”[/i] Roland knew that he didn’t have much to go on because nothing exciting happens to him anymore, but he knew that he did have a particular hobby of interest that had become more of a routine for him over the years. [i]“Though when I am by myself, I do like write down things, you know, like how my day was and stuff and everything else.”[/i]
