[seventeenth]

So, I'm back. I guess? [Desmond still sounds -- and looks -- a little dazed.] I didn't realize the bracelets were that important. I'll have to keep that in mind.

[He grins, a little, his confidence returning.] So... what did I miss? Did this turn out to be a surreal fever dream while I was out of it, by any chance?

Comments

[seventeenth]

[Desmond flashes Caterina a quick and rather Ezio-ish grin.] Not a thing. Just didn't expect to get such a nice greeting so soon.

[mmmhmm. Caterina apparently did not get the memo that this is not the exact same Desmond who talked to her when she arrived several months ago. She's mildly confused.]

Is there a reason you wouldn't?

[seventeenth]

When I first got here, some lady yelled at me for talking to myself. [He might still be a little sulky over that.] Kinda made a rough first impression.

[canmakemore]

It is not talking to yourself if you are addressing the greater community.

[She shrugs.]

Regardless. Hello, Desmond.

[seventeenth]

[... Well, he wasn't expecting that.] --Oh. Have we met?

[canmakemore]

[She blinks. Oh.]

Ah. Si, we have, a few months ago. But I see you don't remember.

[seventeenth]

Nope. Far as I know, I've only been here a couple weeks.

[canmakemore]

[She nods.]

Well then I should inform you that you have already... explained a great deal to me.
