Wh- ... What the hell is this? This place...

None of this makes any sense.

My parents are dead. And I could never haved dreamed up Esther,Radu, Grandmother... I couldn't have made any of them up. Much less all of them. I didn't dream anything that happened either. There's no way. It's just not possible.

This isn't right.

You're telling me.

[The voice comes from inside the house, and Verbal glances at a conveniently-placed nearby family photograph, then at Ion. He takes a long drag of his cigarette.]

Guess you're my other kid, huh?

[His voice is dry, deadpan, but his lip curls slightly in a sneer at the word "kid."]

[! Immediately that little lost child disappears, and Ion faces the man, drawn up to his full five feet of height to observe this man, chin tilted up proudly.]

That would appear to be the case.

[His voice is equally deadpan, a bit of a disdainful look in his eyes and something resembling an angry pout on his own lips.]

[He actually steps back at Ion's stare, suddenly wary. There's definitely more to this kid than meets the eye. His left foot actually drags behind him as he does so, and his left arm dangles limply at his side.]

Hey, I'm not planning to go all "Daddy Dearest" on you, if that's what your worried about. Hell, I got bigger things to worry about than babysitting some kid. No offense or anything. So I don't give a shit what you do. We're stuck here for now, so you don't bother me, I don't bother you.

[His voice is almost devoid of inflection, but his eyes are sharp, looking Ion up and down.]

[He takes all that in, in fact he even returns that look, and given that it doesn't seem like his "father" poses a threat, takes on a pose that is more neutral than defensive.]

Sounds good to me. [Because frankly, he's not sure what he'd do if you did do that, Verbal.]

[... However, if they have to be stuck together, then it would probably be more bearable if they're not enemies. He extends his hand for a handshake.]

Ion Fortuna. [He'll just be keeping his titles under wraps, though. Not sure who -if anyone- he can trust here.]
