Particulars.

You know sometimes I remember the odd things. The details. The patches in the carpet that are a little more worn than the rest. Or in this case, the positioning of his shoes. Whenever he takes off his shoes, they are always angled in the same way. Left front perched ontop of the right, socks barely concealed but still tucked within the shoe. I don't know exactly why this coincidence particularly amazes me, yet if I were to try and do that everytime I took off my shoes, I shan't think I'd be capable at all. It must be some form of talen, taking years of the right training and environmental exposure to adapt to this perculiar habit, this perplexing talent.
Yet.

That's not the only thing I've noticed. I've noticed the length of beard he finds just right. I've noticed the way he can speak loudly to his friends and feels incredibly awkward around me. I've noticed that when we do get talking, he quickly changes his lean from his right, to his left leg as my brother passes. I've noticed the semi-tone drop of his vocal pitch when he's trying hard to impress someone.

He tends to be a noticable boy. I think.
