Who: Valdi, Other people (OPEENNNN) Where: The Coffee Shoppe When: Wednesday 20th July, 3.30pm onward What: Something's happened to Liberty, and Valdi is determined to find out what.
Kai gripped Valdi's hand fiercely with a quick goofy grin, an expression that quickly dissipated into notes of confusion as Heike extended the check towards him. "Ah-- did you actually--" He battled to speak over the rattling of his own curiosity, taking the thin slip from the other's hand to peer down at the numbers.
His face immediately washed white of its color, and for a moment he only stared at the large sum of numbers scrawled out in the other man's handwriting. Once the dumbfounded shock subsided enough he slowly folded the check and pocketed it, remaining utterly soundless for some time to come as he mentally tried to process the amount of money he had just been entrusted with.
The first order of business upon getting home would be to send some to Tante Nadja for her health bills. Next, some towards he and his brother's education.
The rest, to buy Valdi a plane ticket to go back to Iceland for a small visit.
As he came around from his stupor to key back into the conversation he quietly piped, "I can provide translation for Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian. Or try for the last two as best I can."
