Shaken

[jarndyceheir]

Though he has cleaned up the blood, Richard is still not wearing a jacket, sleeves rolled up to the elbows. He looks pale, tired, and a bit haunted. He's looking for Curio, Ganymede, and/or Tom, roughly in that order, but is free to be accosted by anyone else who should come across him. He's had a long night.

*Mina doesn't know him, but she's very emphatic when it comes to people who look haunted. She nearly bumps into him in the hallway* Oh, I'm so sorry.

"Oh, forgive me. I should have watched more carefully."

[minaharker10_2]

No, it's my fault, really. *smiles* I don't believe I've met you before.

[jarndyceheir]

"Richard Carstone, madam."

[minaharker10_2]

It's nice to meet you. I'm Mina Harker.

[jarndyceheir]

"A pleasure, truly." He smiles, but it's a bit weak. He's tired and guilty, and it wears though he tries not to show it.

*smiles back, a little worried now* Forgive me if this is too personal a question, but are you completely all right, Mr. Carstone?

[jarndyceheir]

"Oh, yes. I'm... I'm fine. Just a long day. Forgive my demeanor."
