Early Evening (~4pm-7pm) poetryinfashion March 19 2008, 04:19:01 UTC

Kaoru collapsed into the stool again, feeling like he hadn't sat down since the early morning. He wiped his brow and took a few deep breaths, massaging his temples.

"Here." A kind voice offered. It belonged to a boy on the cusp of adolescence, not yet a young man but onlder than a child. He held an elaborate blue glass bottle, half filled with glowing green liquid. "Take a little sip- it'll refresh you. You've had a long day." His blue eyes were genuine in their concern.

"I'm Larsa." He smiled, his intonation and accent similar to what Kaoru would have identified as 'Upper English'. "I thought I would take you up on your kind offer- it is comforting to know that there are people willing to help us settle in."

Larsa took a seat, his feet barely brushing the floor. He wore the clothes of a newsboy, but the bearing of a royal.
"I have only been here a couple of days and already I seem to have become involved in a mission of sorts." He knew Kaoru understood what he spoke of. "I'm going from one bad situation to another, and I have yet to meet anyone from my world."

"Do you want to leave here too?"

Kaoru took a small sip, surprised at the liquid's effects - like drinking mouthwash without the stinging in your nose. He blinked a few times and then handed it back to Larsa. "Hitachiin Kaoru and that is... a very interesting drink..."

The redhead rubbed the back of his neck - not because it ached, because nothing physical pained him anymore, but out of habit. "I can guess what that mission is. And if it's what I'm thinking of, then that's the reason I don't like this place much anymore." He sighed, closing his eyes as he did so but opening them again to look at the young man with bearing so similar to his own. "I've made some wonderful friends, though... so maybe if Hikaru comes back it won't be so bad..."

"It's called a Potion, noted for its healing properties." Larsa explained as he placed the bottle back into his satchel.
"A pleasure to meet you Kaoru." He said the name slowly, so as not to pronounce it incorrectly.

"You are lucky to have met such nice people," He creased his brows, tilting his head to watch the streets lit with lamps. "I seem to have arrived at a bad time and people are not exactly themselves.

"But that is not to say I am not grateful, of course," Larsa smiled at Kaoru, "for the help and friendship that some have extended to me."

"A potion..." Kaoru chuckled a little at that before lowering his gaze to the floor. Straight out of a video game. Wow. "I know what you mean about bad timing and same with the friends. They've managed to keep me pretty busy so I don't think about all the bad stuff going on."

Kaoru looked back up at his new companion. "What's your involvement with the mission, Larsa-kun?"

Re: Early Evening (~4pm-7pm) solidor_heir March 21 2008, 02:32:56 UTC

"I am assisting Zexion with the information retrieval," Larsa explained, "and also with the translating. Hopefully we can translate something that may help us find a way home."

Re: Early Evening (~4pm-7pm) poetryinfashion March 23 2008, 07:19:21 UTC

"I take it you're good at that kind of stuff?" Kaoru asked, sincerely curious. "I've never been all that great at translating, per se, but when your parents' clients only know French or English it's kinda' hard not to learn those languages, no matter how different they are from Japanese."

Re: Early Evening (~4pm-7pm) solidor_heir March 23 2008, 10:34:52 UTC

"Oh, I'm not one to preach my abilities," A faint blush. "I just enjoy linguistics a lot. I don't learn other languages, I study language patterns and euphemisms."

The boy laughed cheerily, smiling. "You know, it's nice just talking to someone in a friendly manner. It isn't...overshadowed by urgency." Larsa nodded to him. "Thank you."

Re: Early Evening (~4pm-7pm) poetryinfashion March 24 2008, 00:00:01 UTC

"I like talking... though I didn't have a need for long conversations for the longest time." He sighed. "That still sounds pretty cool to me." Kaoru admitted, then motioned around the store. "This is pretty much life. Even back home."
