The man who walked in was both casual and poised, his body moving with a quiet saunter that denoted a cat and a young man with nothing much on his mind. His expression was curious as he looked around, lingering on the people and faces with the air of one who is used to considering the nature of bar patrons. He seemed at home, almost pleased to be in such a place - and to anyone who knew, it would make sense, as Desmond Miles had been a bartender before first the Templars then the Assassins had 'collected' him.

This still felt like a bad nightmare to her and she had to admit that she was slightly jealous at the fact that Desmond seemed to be handle it better than her. Although her heart did sank a little more because she knew she was part of the reason why being kidnapped was something of a common occurrence for the novice.

"I've asked and there is apparently no way to get back to our world." The tone of her voice was probably conveying how she was frustrated by this. They couldn't afford delays in finding the Temples and stopping Vidic and Abstergo.
