Venice, because I've been there.allamerican_boyMarch 15 2014, 17:58:22 UTC
[Blake's still fairly amazed that he ended up here. It had been a spur of the moment thing. He ended up babysitting for a rich family and, low and behold, they needed someone to watch the kids during their lovely European vacation. He seriously lucked out.
As he wanders down the Rialto, he takes out his phone to take a picture of the Rialto Bridger. Unfortunately, someone jostles him from behind and into the canal his phone goes.]
[Well, his mom and boss are going to kill him. Just straight up kill him. Unless he did back the phone up. Which he hopes he did, but isn't sure because he's never been great at electronics. He's reaching the laugh or cry point.]
Well. This day just got worse. Not that it was bad before. It was actually pretty okay. My day off. No kids bugging me and some time to wander around the city. Knew I should have bought one of those little tourist maps, but they look so stupid.
[He realizes he's rambling and stops with a sigh. He gives her an apologetic look. He hopes he isn't making her feel too bad for the loss of his phone.]
It's fine. I can't speak, or read, Italian. I mean, I had like three days notice before this trip. It was lucky I had my passport. Which is still in my pocket and not the canal.
[He gives her a charming smile to let her know that this was a joke because he's decided not to cry over a lost phone.]
Um, it was an iPhone. Not the newest, newest, but the one before that. It was black. Which doesn't actually matter that much, I just like the black on the best.
[He considers saying no, but he's not exactly rich and besides he doesn't think he'll be staying in this job for much longer. It may pay well, but he's been kicked by darling little Destiny one to many times.]
Um, yeah. Thanks. But, can I get you a coffee or something too? As a thanks for replacing the phone, which you seriously don't have to do.

It's okay. Wasn't you're fault. I mean, it wasn't intentional.
[It technically was her fault after all. He's quite frankly relieved the person responsible is willing to make up for it. He gives her a weak smile.]
Just glad you speak English.
