4th lesson [Video]

[The communicator clicks on and for a moment, the camera is masked by a finger over the lens.  There's a shocked gasp and a few seconds of silence before the camera is suddenly clear and Danny's face and shoulders can be seen, albeit upside down.  There are scars littering his skin, too many to count, all of them long healed.  There's a deep scar

*Normally, Marco would have ignored finding such old looking clothing, but this time he recognized it. Sadly, he had no way of knowing where to find Danny, but that's what the comms were for.*

Danny.
I found your pants. Reply if you want them back.

*His tone is somewhere between a request and an order, since orders worked with the dogman before*

[There's a response, but it's little more than heavy breathing for a few seconds until Danny turns it to video. He nods his head.]

I'll meet you at Sergei's.

...the resturant with the kitchen we met in before.

[Okay. This is probably good, considering Danny's still hungry.

He's clean now, and wearing fresh new pants and a t-shirt that says "MY BOYFRIEND SAILED ON THE M.S. ELEGANTE AND ALL HE GOT ME WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT" on it in dark red text. He's barefoot though, and he a little less jumpy now that he's been told in not so many words that he should be leaving his room if he's hungry.

Danny pads into Sergei's and peeks inside.]

*Marco's behind the bar, with Danny's pants draped over one of the stools at it. He waves Danny over when he enters*

Over here.

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Danny's movements are awkward and twitchy, and he strides across the bar with his head down, reaching out once and withdrawing his hand before he snatches his pants up.

... ewww these really do smell bad.]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

You can go. Unless you'd rather get something to eat.

*Not that Marco could cook it...but he could open cans again*

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Danny perks up. That's right, food. He's hungry.

He glances at the kitchen and back to Marco, then backs up and finally heads inside, immediately opening the cupboards to see what he can find.]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco follows after Danny and watches him from the doorway. If the man gets something he can open on his own, Marco will leave him to it. Otherwise he'll wait to see if his assistance is needed*

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[He finds a box of mac and cheese and rattles it, turning it over in his hands before putting it back. It's mostly dried and canned goods here, which is what he's used to.

Oooh, Heinz vegetable soup. He pulls the can out, recognizing the label instantly. Of course, he can't open it though, and he picks at the edge of the lid.]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco fetches the can opener and heads over to Danny. He reaches for the can*

Here. I'll show you how to use this.

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Letting Marco take the can, Danny watches in curiosity.]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco makes sure that Danny's watching and slowly demonstraits how to open the can. He puts the can opener down when finished, but doesn't hand the can back over*

You think you can do that?

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Well he's not stupid, but ... he's not sure he understands exactly what's going on here. He takes the can opener and turns it over in his hands, opening and closing it, eyes widening in curiosity as the mechanisms shift. Ooooh.]

[Commentlog]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco grabs another can of...something (he didn't pay attention to what) and holds it out to Danny*

Open that.

[Commentlog]

[shackledpuppy]

[Danny takes the can in one hand and the can opener in the other and just stares for a bit. He glances at Marco, then back to the can and just kind of rests the opener on top of the can.

No wait he did a twisty thing. He puts the can on the table and twists the top of the can opener slowly.

Nothing happens.]
