Kind of another voice test.

Well then, perhaps you should consider it a blessing in disguise as I've not the time nor patience to be dealing with your regrets.

Frankly, had you considered a more logical approach, we wouldn't be having this conversation, and we'd both be spared a little grief.

[ well aren't you a super cool looking man . . . ]

[them_apples]

[Well aren't you a super familiar looking child.

No really. Has he seen you somewhere before?]

You seem as though you're far from home?

[Here's hoping this child speaks English...]

[shortstick]

[ he's a smart lad, with a smart mother to teach him such!

the boy, future "connor" to be, shuffles a bit. there was a mixture of some kind of intimidation with curiosity in him, all while playing with his fingers. if he were a bit older, he might even recognize the similarities-- but for now, he was bound to a written journal, only words, that fascinated him day by day. ]

I guess. [ headspace ain't home after all. ] Are you upset?

[them_apples]

[In truth, the slight fidgeting bothers Haytham somewhat, but he has to commend this boy's courage to speak to a stranger, a foreigner.]

Upset? Not quite. Bothered would be a more accurate description.

[shortstick]

Is your . . . [ what were they called-? ] writer okay?

[them_apples]

Hmm? My mundane? Fine, fine. Entirely her own fault for missing an opportunity. There will be other chances. [Yes, his feelings on the matter are just about as flippant as he's expressed them.]

[apositive]

What kind of regrets?

[Color him curious. His mun has had several along the way.]

[them_apples]

My mundane's obligations elsewhere saw her miss an opportunity. Simple as that.

[apositive]

That's unfortunate. I'd say there's always next time, but that isn't always the case. Don't suppose the opportunity will present itself again?

[them_apples]

It's quite likely. Though I for one would much prefer being left to my own devices. To put it into terms my mundane would be familiar with, I've my own 'games' to play.

[nationless]

Why must you always be so vague?

[them_apples]

It deters the eavesdroppers.

[nationless]

Or it frustrates them until they drop from above to attack.

[them_apples]

[An amused hum.]

Now, Connor, there's no need to be snide.
