"Rad." As Jonah let a silence fall between them, as the two boys set off on their jaunt into the desert, he felt a tug to blurt an I'm sorry to Beckett, with an added, I don't know why I'm so awkward, for good measure. It confused him, frustrated him, because Jonah knew that at other moments he was grateful for the distance between Beckett and himself. His shyness wasn't cute, it was annoying, and his inability to communicate was, if Jonah was frank, a burden to everyone else. They shouldn't try to be friends, he didn't want to be friends. Jonah slid the guitar off his shoulder and examined it as best he could under the moon's glow, forcing himself not to glance at the boy trodding along beside him. Beckett did have his moments, though, like saving Jonah from Nyx and the occasional muttered joke to Bryony. Jonah knew he didn't need to say anything, but tried to strike up a conversation anyway, giving in to the urge to reach out despite everything. "I think I actually banged this up pretty bad." He pulled the guitar closer to his bulky frame and ran a hand over its dark wood, scratched and noticeably dented. "... It was probably pretty dumb to bring it in the first place..." Beckett stuffed his hands into his pockets as they walked, looking up at the bright moon that shined down on them. It was funny, almost no matter where you went, the night sky was always the same. The moon, the stars, the planets. Unchanging in their infinite cycles to man. He started to feel homesick again, and tried to push past the feel and get rid of the knot forming in his gut. Despite how much he wanted to go home, he couldn't. He was stuck in America, stuck on this quest, and stuck to the life of a demigod. It was hard to think that the moon had once been a titan, and now, he supposed, a goddess. Or maybe it was just more of an explanation for being, a guardianship. Either way it was still entrancing, almost more than the emptiness of the desert. He let his mind drift back to the stars, taking over the space his feelings were. Bec had nearly forgotten that he was walking with someone had Jonah not started speaking. A bit startled, Beckett turned to look at the other teen as he examined the dented guitar. As the sudden fright subsided, Bec frowned, feeling bad about the damage to the instrument. He had noticed that during the trip, it was something that Jonah fell back to to pass the time- he hoped that it wasn't a gift from someone. "I'm sorry about that..." Bec started, speaking quietly, his gaze moving from the desert and back to Jonah. "Maybe we'll run into Apollo...?" He offered up, not having any other solutions to Jonah's problem. It wasn't like he had an extra guitar laying around, just tea and some pounds. They had already run into a primordial being, the chance of running into a god of music seemed just a likely now. When Bec looked up, the two had neared the store, its pale lights filling a small piece of the void. He hesitated in his step, but trudged on, thinking to himself 'there is only one person in there... he's probably asleep' and 'everything will be fine'. But the thought of possibly running into an unknown distressed Beckett and he was tempted to ask Jay if they could just turn around now and head back. However, looking at Jonah, Bec found that he still wasn't sure whether or not he was comfortable to ask things of him. He kept his words to himself, instead falling a few steps behind Jonah, so as to not be first into the store, and less likely to be confronted by anyone running it. There was still some distance to go. Jonah seemed startled when Beckett apologized for the guitar, as if he hadn't expected him to comment at all. If Jonah had at all blamed Beckett for the damage, he found that with the quiet apology any such feelings had vanished. "What? No, I was, um. Worried, Bec. It's ... my bad for forgetting I was holding it." He shouldered his way into the gas station and winced against the fluorescent lighting. The only other person was a teen behind the counter, maybe a few years older than the questees, totally zoned out and about as excited to be working the graveyard shift at a semi-abanded gas station as you would expect. Jonah hung back, holding the door to let Beckett pass through as well. Beckett looked like .... well, certainly not as nice as he did in the moon's glow, for sure. Under harsh artificial light, Jonah couldn't ignore his still-red eyes and paler-than-usual skin. Jonah let his eyes trail to the two measly rows of convenience store goods as he let the door fall shut. "But like, even if we did, I doubt he'd have a guitar just kicking around for the son of some nobody, you know?" Jonah joked, voice losing the unusual softness it seemed to have outside, as though the bright light summoned back a bit of his typical, distant disposition.

"But like, even if we did, I doubt he'd have a guitar just kicking around for the son of some nobody, you know?" Jonah joked, voice losing the unusual softness it seemed to have outside, as though the bright light summoned back a bit of his typical, distant disposition.
Beckett nodded his thanks as he walked past Jonah into the store, sending a quick glance over at the half-dead employee. He crossed his arms over his chest, seeming to fall into himself again with the presence of the stranger. He turned toward Jonah and waited for the teen to take a lead toward any of the aisles of food.
"Well, you never know... Maybe with a snap of his fingers he can repair yours." Bec offered with a very slight shrug, one that would've gone unnoticeable had he been wearing his old winter jacket. With the lighter green one he was wearing now, Bec's movements were visible to everyone, which he tried not to think about. All it did was made him want to move even less, to be the least interesting or attention attracting he could be.
As he talked Bec kept his eyes low toward the ground but occasionally glanced over at the aisles, wondering what kind of food there was. He didn't go to a ton of stores, basically because it was one of his worst nightmares that happened constantly. The only times Bry or his dad had ever managed to get him to go to any of them was if it was extremely late at night where there was certain to be little to no people. Even so, the worker bothered Bec as they stood there. There was a chance he might talk to them, or look at them, or lastly be a monster. One could never know.
Bec wondered how long they were going to be there, and he tried to calm his nerves by reminding himself the store wasn't very big. There was no way they'd spend an eternity in there, not like that old witch lady's store. On that thought, Bec felt slightly more comfortable here with Jonah and the comatose worker than the crazy lady warehouse. Unconsciously, he nervously rubbed his arm and waited for Jay.
