It begins.
The path will be difficult, but the victory at the end worth it.

Even for a man I won't care to see.

[tacohat]

Then I will not ask for your trust. Only a moment of your time to ascertain that you are the same woman whom I am certain had died decades ago.

Please, once the shock is abated, I promise you will not have to see me again.

[nottheproblem]

And who do you think I am.

[Short and sweet. Because she is... undoubtedly sure she knows who he is.]

I am as flesh and blood as you.

[tacohat]

[He has to pinch his brow and sigh heavily before having to explain THIS...]

I thought I saw you once, not very long ago. But it was... someone else. It was a trick.

So now I will need a little confirmation. Surely that is understandable.

[nottheproblem]

[This is going to be very reluctant on her part, but doable all the same. She sighs.]

If you must.

[A moment's consideration.]

Yet you remain.

[tacohat]

Are you going to tell me to go?

[nottheproblem]

[She stares. And then promptly scoffs.]

You don't remember.

[Vain hopes on her part, perhaps.]

[tacohat]

I remember the circumstances of our last departure, if that is what you mean.

[nottheproblem]

[She shakes her head.]

What would you have me do? For your... confirmation.

[tacohat]

Well.

You are not yelling at me for being dead, so this is already markedly different than the last incident.

[After a moment's pause, he starts walking towards her cautiously, as if approaching an animal that might attack him or flee if he makes a sudden move.]

[nottheproblem]

[She tenses. Visibly. To run is cowardice. She has nothing to run from. He can do no more harm to her than what he already has.

Betrayal. What a bitter taste to her tongue.]

I don't require to raise my voice to you to send you on your way. You can see me well enough from where you stand, Haytham.

[There's a slight pause before his name. He may look different, but his face hasn't changed so much.]
