"Oh...excuse me." She said politly as she blinked up at the man. It took her a moment to realize that he looked like the Warden, but the alchemist realized that he wore a cuff.

Footsteps echoed off the floor and Solomon Kane snapped his head up, reaching for his rapier. A figure stepped out onto the balcony and the wanderer narrowed his eyes, squinting against the sunlight twice for he couldn't believe the sight before him.
"What bringeth ye here, Sir Warden?"
OOC: Let me have been the first to say it. XD

He was just stepping around a corner on the upper balcony near the belltower, his left hand running along the side of the wall, when he heard the voice and his attention snapped to the stranger in front of him. He began to nod in greeting when he realized what the man was calling him and paused with a slight frown.
"I'm not... the Warden," he said calmly. His eyes glanced towards the ready weapon and away. The significance of it was not lost on him.
((lol. Yep! XD))

"I am Solomon Kane. Do forgive my mistake; thy resemblance to the Warden is most eerie."

"I have noticed," he said as he took back his hand. "Grammaton Cleric First Class John Preston. We're not related," he assured the other.

He glanced sideways at the sound of the voice. There was an imperceptible sigh from the Cleric and then he gave a curt nod. "Looking at my new surroundings," he said. If she didn't get the fact that he wasn't the Warden from that, then she was just out of luck.
((Technically you're the third. Second to say it out loud though.))

For now, Preston had been very good at ignoring the fact that everyone here was most definitely throwing his "sense-offense sense" to tingling on a most bizarre vibe.

"Why are you here?!" Skuld shouted upon seeing the man while on her way from the apartment to the hardware store to savage for parts and had spotted him on the road.
She quickly approached him, glaring up at him. "Decided to finally give us some answers then? At least you don't LOOK injured and the place doesn't need repairs, so you have to have SOME reason to be here!" The Warden wasn't exactly her favorite person. At least she didn't attack him.

The Cleric took the step back and stood his ground with an immense amount of patience. "I'm sorry," he said although his tone didn't sound apologetic, neither did it sound sardonic. It was just bland. "I don't have any answers. I also couldn't tell you why I'm here beyond the same reasons you yourself are here." A pause. "I don't believe I'm who you think I am."

"And I am not 'cold,' merely unfeeling. It is due to the strict regulations of the Tetragrammaton--the government--of my world. It is with reason."

This time, it was in front of the Church that it happened. He had been about to go into the once holy building when he saw a figure with a familiar face. "Warden?" Krad said, just loud enough for the man to hear. His own voice was calm and a bit indifferent, but one did not see the Warden often.
One might even say it involved everyone in the compound when he showed up, even Krad himself.

The Cleric gazed at the spirit with a stoic look. His eyes examined the other man with an intensity though, one brought about from his career as an officer of the peace. His head ducked down a moment as he addressed the spirit. "I am not he."

"No, I am not. My name is John Preston. I am a Grammaton Cleric, First Class, of the Tetragrammaton in Libria. Our similar appearance is nothing more than a fluke as far as I can tell."
