Carlos Ramirez - Dresden Files - MacAnally's

[mm_danii]

He's in town again, not that Harry knows yet. That said, he'd come in from the Nevernever a little later than he'd expected (he still wasn't quite sure about how time worked there and he did miscalculate on occasion) and he's not about to take what little sleep the guy gets

Comments

Rosa is a chair or two down sipping at a glass of water and eating some stew. She doesn't often go places to eat because she likes to cook for herself - and for Harry - but sometimes it's nice to have other people cook for you.

She is, as usual, not paying much attention to the people around her past superficial strong emotions that might get her attention.

How about interest?

Carlos leans on the table, sipping absently at his ale, and looks her up and down. Green hair, huh? And it looks... natural.

[mightbeamermaid]

And the gold eyes.

She notices him looking and gives him a mostly-timid smile.

[mago_sonriente]

And pretty.

He stands from his seat and wanders over, leaning against the wall near her spot with a sort of active casualness.

"Hola, senorita."

[mightbeamermaid]

"Usted habla español?"

She's more comfortable speaking Spanish even after being here for a reasonable amount of time.

[mago_sonriente]

"Por supuesto, mi vida. Soy mexicano."

He smiles at her.

"Usted es de... Chile?"

He's going by the accent.

[mightbeamermaid]

Which gets him a bright smile.

"Sí, soy chileno." She nods to the seat next to her.

"Mi nombre Rosa del Valle."

[mago_sonriente]

"Amo el sonido del español chileno," he says, flirting just a little. "Mi nombre es Carlos Ramirez, pero usted puede llamarme Carlos."

He takes the seat.

[mightbeamermaid]

"Yo voluntad entonces, Carlos." Rosa doesn't flirt consciously, but when he sits next to her she shifts a little, crossing her legs and leaning on the counter to make sure her attention is on him.

"Qué trae una belleza chilena a este lugar?" He chuckles. "Sé que soy frío aquí estoy solamente aquí por un tiempo corto."

[mightbeamermaid]

"Puede ser que diga conseguir lejos de un fiance, pero ése sería grosero. Estoy aquí para una educación apropiada. Política."

She blushes appropriately at the comment of beauty, although she is used to such compliments.

[mago_sonriente]

"Una educación vale más que las palabras pueden expresar. Le deseo suerte en sus estudios. Deseo a menudo que seguía siendo un estudiante."

He wishes he still had his teacher working with him. He wishes he still had his teacher. He wishes there wasn't a war and as much as he likes the fact that he's been given a chance to do something with his power... he wishes it wasn't this.

[mightbeamermaid]

She nods along with his words. "Ése es cómo mi padre se siente. Y estoy alegre estar ausente... de algunas cosas en Chile. No soy seguro qué estoy estudiando soy lo que deseo hacer."

Rosa looks to him curiously afterwards - she is curious, if nothing else.

[mago_sonriente]

"Puedo preguntar lo que usted está estudiando?"

He's curious. And he'd like to know more about this strange Chilean flower in the middle of Chicago.

[mightbeamermaid]

"Como I dicho, política. Pienso el papa quisiera que siguiera en sus pasos, pero Chile no tendría un político femenino. Pienso que él humoring me. Terminaré encima de un ama de casa para Esteban."

She fiddles with the watch around her wrist and takes another sip of her water, giving him a soft, helpless smile.

[mago_sonriente]

"Mi jefe es una mujer y ella es la mejor que cualquier persona podría siempre estar en su trabajo."

He smiles at her.
