"Er..." The stuttering janitor glanced over his shoulders in search of a possible chaperone, but it was just them and the beach. "Are... y-you lost little boy?"

"No..." Cody seemed rather annoyed for being addressed as little. He was already 10!

"Er..." Newt frowned down at the boy, scratching his cheak as he tried to figure out what a child could possibly be doing on this beach of all beaches. "W-where... er... is y-your... ah... m-mum, then?"

"Back at home"
Cody managed not to start crying as this painful topic was brought up. Instead he just gave the full explanation, since everyone here seemed curious to know
"I'm here to try a cure for my MS. And I know I'm going to get turned into a dolphin for that"

"Er... ah..." Newt gaped, his face flushing. A kid? A boy? A child?? the doctors couldn't- wouldn't- they'd never-
A sudden tightness gripped the bottom of his stomach as the tiny voice that did question why he was there himself. Certainly not to clean.
He stopped those thoughts as soona s they started, though, swallowing thickly, "I... er... I s-see..."

If it wasn't the fact he was a bit annoyed at this man calling him little, Cody would have wondered about why everyone acted so strangely about him being here (not that he hadn't already)
"And you? I haven't got your name yet?"

"Oh, er... I'm... " He wasn't quite sure how to introduce himself to a child. Mr. Filinas? Newt? "Oh, Er, s-sorry, um..." He knelt town to crouch slightly, mroe at eye level with the young man to offer a hand with a shy little smile, "N-newton."

Newton? That rang a bell "Oh, you're Newt? Aubrey told me about you" he shaked back, with half a smile on his lips
Cody hadn't forgive the doctor yet, but he trusted her information on the people she had describe him. It was accurate until now

At that, Newt's sharp features went scarlet, "Ah- sh-she... sh-she d-did? What... what did she say?" He stammered anxiously.

At that, Newt looked relieved, straightening up a little, "Oh... oh y-yes, I'm the cu-cus-cus-custodian. D-did you have th-them in sch-school?" He gave a smile, trying to find something to relate to the child with.

"Yeah, but we called them janitors" Now he knew why Aubrey said he would help. Cody wasn't expecting to have a janitor living righ on top of him. He didn't looked so bad though, like the one back at school with a walrus moustache that kept picking on kids every now and then

"Oh... w-well..." Newt cleared his throat, fidgeting with his boots still over his shoulder once again, "C-custodian... s-sounds a b-bit more dig-dignified... at l-least I think so."

"Ah... yes. I c-come here in the aftern-noons, g-generally... wh-where are you off to?" Newt backed up onto the sand to sit, using his rag to dry the sand off of his feet befor pulling his socks back on.
