[Balian, in short, looks a wreck when he comes out of the station. The heavy chain mail and the red and gold tunic he's wearing is clogged with blood, sand and dirt. It's mattered in his hair, built up under his nails and it's plain that he's tired to say the least of it. He doesn't seem inclined to say anything, just fumbles with his device and ( Read more... )

Shit, you look like you got hit by a bus. My sympathies, man. Real sympathies, even, not just fake ones.

[Heavenly father, it talks, he nearly drops the thing in surprise. Before taking a deep breath and fumbling for words again.]

Not a... 'bus'... [God his mouth feels awful.] A shield. I remember it was a shield.

[a couple of shields, it looks like. He turns his head, because no good, can't keep talking like this and he spits up a mouthful of blood.]

[Okay, Tony winces a little at the blood spitup. Ew.]

You, uh, dying, or. [No that's kind of obvious, he does look pretty far down the road to death.] Need some help?

No, I'm not dying. [he shakes his head.] Somewhere to rest would be appreciated.

[ This guy looks like he's been through the ringer, and he knows that feeling. ]

There's a few apartments they set us up at when we all show up here. You probably already have a room and everything set up for you.

[there's just another tired blink at someone answering. He's getting used to this a little.] Alright, in which direction are they? [if only all things were as easy as finding the Holy Land.]

You got a map? If so, it's the Residential District. If not... I got some time on my hands. I could show you around.

... I am not sure if there are any maps available. [given that they were usually guarded and locked up tight because parchment and vellum was just so precious, the concept of them just being around is odd.] I'd... appreciate that.

[... Well this is a familiar sight, for some reason.]

Has anyone pointed you in a direction?

[Disorientated grime covered knights. A usual day in Mandalus.]

No, not yet.

[.. Yeah the first part is familiar, but Mandalus is still something his bones need to get used to.]

Well for starters, you're now the owner of a spacious place - there should be a key on you somewhere. The apartments can't be too far from where you are, granted that you don't wander.

[.... He's not a nobleman though. Or so he insists. But he's trying to work out where this key is supposed to be.]

Alright... [so he starts walking in a direction, hoping it's the right one. He doesn't want to spend hours wandering if he doesn't have too.]

Greetings. [he'll be more talkative, later. Probably.]

[Balian's too polite to stare, hates it himself. So he just respectfully takes stock of the person he's talking to and then ducks his head before answering.]

I come from the Battle near Kerak, which is in the Holy Land, that's the last thing I remember. The year is 1149, if that means something.

[Which just makes Balian so uncomfortable. He hates being stared at or pampered or anything like that. He much prefers just slinky by unnoticed.]

Yes, I serve under King Baldwin. [he's a talkative one, too.]

Sir, might I help you? [Yay Knights. She likes Knights]

[Balian knows his manners all the same, and when greeted by so fine a lady, he bows stiffly, even though it aches.]

I merely require directions, milady, to shelter.

Are you hurt? [Because that would be the first thing she notices] You will have a room designated to you.

I am well enough. [he keeps his eyes down.] Yes, I have been told so. I am trying to find it currently. [wandering around a little lost but still, trying.]
