♠ second fragment; [video/action for heimdall]

[kardeshim]

[someone seems to be up someplace high; a roof, if you're clever enough to guess. Crouched on that roof is Yusuf, freshly awoken from having been stuck amongst the gray natives. He's more than glad to be really awake again, and greets the strange communicating device with a wave of his left hand--

--few should be able to tell except the particularly observant, very few--but that casual and almost instantaneous flash of his hand is remarkable only because his ring finger is bent down.

But who cares about that? A handsome Turk is smiling at the network and he's already speaking--]

This city... [He shakes his head.] It is very remarkable, but... I never thought blending into a crowd would be so boring, eh?

Let us say that perhaps my desire to bring color to this place has been renewed. Where might I find some honest work? [and by h o n e s t he means "work that pays."]

[ooc: those in Heimdall District, feel free to run into him on the streets or ogle at him sitting on a rooftop. C: ]

( Oh. It's the Turk again. Spain is tempted to end the feed now but

maybe he's a little curious. )

Where have you been?

Video,

[kardeshim]

[Oh! The Spaniard! This will be interesting.]

I did not know you were so concerned for me. [obviously joking there.] No, no, I understand. I was drawn amongst the city's native people. It was as if I was one of them and walking through a dreary fog.

[Seeing as there's no harm in letting that information out, that's the straight truth. He shakes his head.]

[conquistador]

( Spain will press his lips together into a thin line at the first comment. The fact that it's a joke goes above and beyond him so he finds himself taking it fairly seriously. )

I've just never met a quiet Turk before is all. ( But he will relax once his question is answered. Spain's interest is pinged! He was speaking to someone about "going grey" not too long ago. ) Do you mean you took your bracelet off? Ay, did you lose it? How reckless!

[kardeshim]

[Oh, oh, he can't help the grin splitting across his face.]

I would be pleased to shatter your expectations but... [he shrugs] I can be silent as often as my voice could ring across the streets.

[he thinks he might like you, spain. we'll see. yusuf rubs at his chin in thought.] Ah, if only I had! Perhaps my arrival was not suited to our hosts' designs. [he shrugs again, staying as sincere and as ambiguous as possible.] God willing it does not befall you.

[conquistador]

( What is that smile? Did he say something funny? He wasn't trying to be. Wow, look, he's already bad enough at this serious thing as it is! He doesn't need Yusuf making him feel worse about it.

BEING SERIOUS IS A LOT OF WORK HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT? Guys, his face kind of hurts from being so :|

But the last part has a humbling effect. It's a good wish, okay. He bows his head some. )

And you, señor. ( . . .TOPIC CHANGE. ) Are you saying you were punished?
