Am I too late? totally_feliks September 28 2009, 02:50:14 UTC

Feliks swept into the room quietly, slightly battered from fighting, and oddly tired. He'd promised Liet that he would try find them a space to sleep, and he'd only come in to see if this would do. The water didn't concern him, as he sat atop his pony, a friend who had thankfully been allowed here with him.

He would have left again then and there, had not the scene been fascinating. A true artist he was not, but if there was ever a picture that needed to be painted, this was one. The man seemed so engaged in the tomes he held, so unaware of everything, including the appearance of the lady he was reading to. Poland was scared, but oddly compelled to stay. He moved back, fingers clutching into his pet's mane, and said nothing, hair falling around his face while he watched, as shy as ever around new people.

You're never too late for the Johan party! I mean... uh... no, you're fine. johanliebert September 28 2009, 05:31:57 UTC

Fortunately--or unfortunately, depending on how you looked at it--hooves on marble were not the quietest of sounds, and Johan raised his head, taking in the new arrivals from his high perch. An unusual pair, but he set down the book (without appearing to look for the page number) and slid off the bunk easily, landing on his feet, his fine leather shoes sounding softly on the tile through the water. "Hello!" He greeted them brightly, then inclined his head a little. "Please excuse my companion, but I'm Hans." He took a couple of steps forward, just enough to be sociable, and extended one hand, both towards the horse and the young man atop it.

"What a beautiful steed." He smiled.

Well, we like parties~ totally_feliks September 29 2009, 00:22:29 UTC

Oh! He hadn't been expecting to be seen, and he blushed automatically, wishing for the hundredth time that he wasn't so nervous around new people. Clicking slightly at his pony to walk forward also, he accepted the hand as a handshake, and clasped it lightly as he had been taught to do ( ... )

"Feliks," Johan echoed, smiling, before looking towards the Lantern Woman standing vigil in the corner, his expression and tone somewhat bereaved. "No one can help her," he replied sadly. He paused, turning to look at her sympathetically, before adding, "No one here anyway... not until we get the envelopes." They had found some, but still some were obviously missing... the locations of those known to Johan were, relatively speaking, secure for now. The blond raised his eyebrows a little more optimistically to regard Feliks and his pony. "I have heard of Jerzy... you're from Poland?"

If he was, that would make this Feliks the first person he'd encountered who was from a land remotely similar to his own, and the only one from a near country.... the irony of Poland was not lost on Jogan, but if it coloured his smile at all it, was impossible to tell. "May I pet him?" he inquired politely.

I'm sorry this is late! ;_; Life happened! totally_feliks September 30 2009, 23:45:46 UTC

"Wh-what? There's like...no hospital or anything? Is...is she even um, alive or...dead?"

And at the very least, if nobody could help her, couldn't someone put a cover over her throat? It was horrible- he'd seen worse things, but that didn't mean he wanted to see more like that. Ever. And....wait. What would an envelope do? She didn't need stationery, she needed a cure! His voice still wobbled as he said so, but he forced himself not to hide away and cover his face.

"Envelopes? Like...what would that do?"He was lost deep in thought over that when the next question startled him. It wasn't that Jerzy was that unique, there were hundreds of his people who had become famous named Jerzy after all, and it was a decidedly Polish name. Still...he hadn't been expecting that. And a tiny tiny warning light flashed in his head- Hans was a typically German name. Old habits died hard, and even though he managed not to flinch away, he decided not to reveal his status AS the nation of Poland as opposed to a resident there ( ... )

Sorry, my health has been dodgy lately. johanliebert October 5 2009, 01:08:36 UTC

Johan smiled oddly. "I guess that depends." He folded his hands behind his back as the smile grew wan. "There's no hospital here, I'm afraid. There is a room of similar build, but I do not believe it will help her." He reached out with one pale hand to stroke the pony's soft nose, studying its features calmly. "The envelopes were her suggestion... she was not always as she now appears."

Then tilted his head to the side slightly, regarding the mount almost affectionately as he scratched its forelock. He spoke directly to Felix, though he was not looking at him, instead smiling gently. "She is real and not real. Does she live? I was not born in Germany, but I live in Germany. Does that make me German?" The smile stretched out to something more knowing. "These are important questions."
