[Five minutes ago - not even, actually - she’d been walking down the aisle of an airplane, smacking her bag into people in a rush to get to the bathroom. Clayton had said something - she couldn’t even remember what it was at this point, and Samantha had gotten up in a huff, snatched all of her carry on items - idol included -, and stormed into the ( Read more... )

[She rubs her eyes.]

I'm getting that, thanks.

[Maybe she's dreaming. She Would ask for more information, but dammit she's too proud for that.]

I don't think your friend is here. Did you read the note?

Not my friend.

[Pause.]

The one with the spiel about cataclysms and mayhem? Yes, I read it.

Sounds like you need better friends.

[Dude you don't even know.]

That would be the case if he were actually a friend. He's a colleague.

I would offer you some of mine but you'd probably be worse off with them.

A colleague huh? From my experience that's just a nice way of saying "pain in the ass".

God knows I've got enough in my life right now. [Drug lords, black market traders - seriously. No more.]

That's exactly the situation, to be perfectly frank. He's been nothing more than a bloody burr lately.

Claytonhughs, that's a weird name. Kind of long.

…They’re separate. Clayton. Hughes. Two words, first name, last name.

Yeah, you know - I'll have to agree.

I have not seen anyone by that name here. It's highly likely that those you're looking for are not present here.

The truth of the message you received has yet to be verified, as far as I know. There are little answers to be had from the lord of this Keep, or his staff.

[Samantha doesn’t even miss a beat and immediately answers him in Persian without thinking. She’s not looking at the book to read that dumb translated text, it’s on the bed and she’s too busy pacing.]

I’m beginning to see that, thanks for the input.

[From her tone, the sarcasm is obvious. Her accent probably isn’t the best considering she isn’t a native speaker, but the inflection, tone, and pronunciation? All perfect.]

So we are all just sitting ducks? Waiting for…what? My ‘world’ to get fixed?

Yeah, right.

[…A beat.]

And why are we speaking in old ass Persian? You some sort of history professor? [Some of her words incorporate more…modern Turkish translations considering there really probably weren’t translations to Old Persian for some of these words.]

Knock it off and speak English - [This word is said in English because…well. Hngh. Not really an ancient Persian word for English.] - I am not in the mood for a pop quiz.

[Sorry, Samantha. Tus really did listen to most of that, he promises, but he's rather focused on the fact that she replied in Persian. Granted, she's obviously not a native speaker, and there are a few words that are somewhat strange, but he still understands it].

You speak Persian! This is marvelous. You are the first I have encountered here that does, aside from my brother.

[Reading text just isn't the same as conversing with someone in his own language. He recognizes 'English,' as the language many of the people speak here, and gives a light head shake - not that she can see it.]

I apologize, but I'm afraid I don't speak English. It doesn't exist where I'm from, as far as I know.

To answer your earlier question - yes, I believe waiting is what they are expecting us to do. It is not what some of us have elected to do, however.

Yeah, I speak Persian - and everyone else here speaks idiot.

[Seriously, what is wrong with everyone.]

...It doesn't exist. [See? SEE? This is what she's talking about.] Really. Maybe you just haven't gone west enough! [Her tone is *brightly* sarcastic!] Try that on for size when you go home, kiddo. Tell me how the tea is.

[People thinking they're from ancient Persia SERIOUSLY? These people were in denial. What was this, some kind of nerd convention?]

I'm not exactly someone that 'waits around'. [No, Samantha tends to just...charge forward.

And not think about it.

That'd probably explain why she was almost killed like, four times prior to ending up here.]
