Jul 06, 2011 20:43

[This morning finds a small boy of around nine years old in the lobby; he's wearing a pristine white uniform with red trim and hasn't yet got his usual gold-rimmed glasses ( Read more... )

[it's been awhile since Jilly has just sat on the steps and drawn (possibly because she hadn't been spending much time in the castle, before their little pirate vacation, so she's making up for lost time now. Her sketchbook is open on her knees as she works]

[Walking past, he tries to look over without being too overtly rude about it.]

[glancing up, she does a double take. He looks so much like his brother had on his loss that she can't help that it's her first thought.]

...Abel?

[did they really shrink you again, already?]

/picks up derpish July 14 2011, 21:06:07 UTC

...Ah, no.

I'm sorry, miss, Abel is my brother.

Holy late tag, Batman tehoniongirl July 18 2011, 17:58:31 UTC

Oh. [his delivery sets him apart almost as much as the answer itself]

Oh, of course. Cain. I-

...has Abel seen you?

Jeepers, Robin! derpish July 18 2011, 22:58:00 UTC

No, not yet. Do you know where he is?

[as the surprise begins to fade, she realizes how unsettling it might be. He obviously didn't recognize her, and she was hardly being welcoming to a child lost in a strange place. She takes a moment to smile, genuinely, closing her sketchbook in her lap.]

I'd guess the church. He's there a lot. I could show you the way, if you'd like.

derpish July 19 2011, 00:01:04 UTC

That's very kind of you, ma'am.

[Politely gives her a smile, waiting for direction.]

tehoniongirl July 19 2011, 00:16:12 UTC

Just Jilly's fine.

[tucking the book in her bag (it's gotten too warm for even her to keep wearing a hoodie), she'll stand, canting her head towards the stairs and back towards the lobby] We're going to have to head towards the towers. It's not too far, though.

[as she starts down] How long have you been here, Cain?

derpish July 21 2011, 17:13:29 UTC

I'm not sure.

[It feels as though he's been here for months, and yet...]

Since an hour ago?

tehoniongirl July 21 2011, 19:14:39 UTC

Well, he'll definitely want to see you.

derpish July 21 2011, 19:25:34 UTC

I know, it's Abel.

[When would Abel NOT want to see him?]
