[Somewhere in the back streets of the city there is a young man in long black robes looking up at the buildings around him with a total and desperate lack of recognition. From the tracks in the snow around him he's probably been walking in circles for quite a while.]Okay, honestly I got the joke ages ago. Ha ha, confuse the tourist. It's not funny

Not that that means anything to you today. Erm.

[Well okay, just from what he's extrapolating from your voice, Ginny, that gets a laugh.]

I doubt we go to the same school. Promise I haven't, though.

[And a laugh of her own because... yeah, no, definitely not the same school.]

I doubt it too, but not very many schools have robes as part of their uniform.

... I don't suppose you know who I am?

[firedgold]

I'm afraid not. Should I?

[7thborn]

Nah. Just thought I should ask.

My being a complete stranger aside, I hope you don't mind me saying that you don't sound fine.

Honestly, you'll get back before anyone misses you.

audio; good morning darlink

[firedgold]

What about if I say I'm going to be fine?

[He hopes.]

That's not the problem.

[7thborn]

That'll do for now. What's the problem, then?

[firedgold]

...Nothing. I'm just... trying to get my bearings.
