[[ooc; Blue is Ghanima. Black is Leto.]]

[ The video feed flicks on with little ado - no curses or crashing or large blurs of motion. There’s nothing besides a young teenage girl’s face - somewhere between 14 and 16 - with blond hair bobbing in a ponytail as she walks, the screen with it - blue eyes lit up with a very abnormal glow. For all

[Video Forever]

[He was going to ignore this, much as he did most things on his phone, but a familiar, albeit younger looking, face catches his eye. Another who looks like Charles. This city seemed fond of his face.]

Not much for stories, nor children, but can tell ya that you're right in thinkin' you've been taken. By who, well that's just the question everyone wants t'know. Though whoever is doin' this sure seems t'like the odd folk.

[Himself included.]

[runsthepath]

[He can see that.]

Do you enjoy this place?

[orange_balls]

I enjoy everythin', lad. There's fun t'be had in most things, just gotta find that bit o'fun and take it.

Or make your own fun.

[runsthepath]

We all yearn for that sort of freedom, but overindulgence is the quickest way to the end. The most successful of predators understand that.

[orange_balls]

Sometimes the end can be entertainin' as well. Here more so. Ain't a real 'end' t'be had.

[runsthepath]

On that point, we agree. [The end being entertainment.]

[ Oh bb Leto. Have a handsqueeze while she overhears this part of the conversation, along with a glance over, not concerned because there's no use in concern for it any more, but regarding. Acknowledging. ]

[runsthepath]

[You too often worry and too often seem to forget that he chooses this way, so he kisses your shoulder fondly.]

[besidethepath]

[ Someone has to. She gives a forehead nuzzle, and wonders for a moment who will worry for him when she's gone. But it's not the time for that, so instead, there's just a warm smile, content with the fondness. ]

[orange_balls]

Can't say I have people agree with me on that often. Y'might be the first.

[runsthepath]

It would not surprise me.

[orange_balls]

I'm a friendly sort, y'implyin' I ain't?

[besidethepath]

[ She regards him with a tilted head, eyebrows slightly raised in curious neutrality. It's natural of her to be wary, but she doesn't make a show of it. ]

We've gathered that. [ She considers his accent for a moment, searches her memories for it. ] You're Irish. You've been misplaced into this pockets as well. We know from where - what of when?

[orange_balls]

What gave it away, lass?

[Burke was being a smart ass, but she was pointing out something he figured was fairly obvious.]

Don't see how any of that is important, we're all here regardless.

[besidethepath]

[ She gets the smartass tone and gives a narrowed side-eye. But she can roll with cheeky sarcasm. ] The hat.

A time shapes a person as much as a place.

[orange_balls]

[He'll just chuckle, and give it a slight tip just for her.]

1876, t'answer your question.
