[ nodd notices dion planetside, somewhere along a main street, between that bookstore and the club with the inviting music. he's changed clothing, an attempt to better fit in with the local atmosphere.
he gives a quick whistle to see if that attracts the man's attention. ]

[ use that face with him too much and he'll start to think it's just how dion's face is. ]
Oh? What would you prefer? I'll use that next time.
[ and if it doesn't work, right back to whistle. ]

Which is... a joke, a joke. I know who you are.
[ sometimes i think i should just put his charisma at 7 and be honest ]
Dion. Would you like to get a drink? Were you on your way somewhere?

Dion. Would you like to get a drink? Were you on your way somewhere?
[ wow. really? that's the expression plainly on nodd's face. did not expect dion not to tell him to eat dirt. ]
Yeah. Yeah, of course. Who invites someone to a drink and doesn't know a location? There's a bar here. I went to it--saw it earlier.

[ give him a moment to reorient himself. he turns, leading them back in the direction nodd came from.
smooth as silk no idea what you're talking about. ]
I like it. You can tell a lot about a locale by its bars. The fashion, the social life, the literal taste.

Nothing too exciting. It's like most other cities, tourists like us bustling through to enjoy the sights and the locals carving out routine. The blood trade is the most interesting part--and the technology, but--are you an earth human?
[ side-eye inspecting dion. nodd will never remember to check profiles, he'll just ask. ]

[ sees from afar and pauses for a moment. wavers. considers. steps forward. back. considers again.

strides boldly up to dion and takes a seat right next to him. ]
You're out of the medbay.

[ sometimes. ]
You've had a rough last few days.
[ as if dion himself didn't know. ]

If anyone has a right to complain, it's you. Go ahead.
[ smacks hands onto his own knees ]
I can take it. Give me your worst.

[ a slight grin. ]
I'm half. Half-human, like you, and half-elf. Where I'm from, it'd be obvious. It's been funny, explaining it.

[ kind is not a word nodd usually applies to himself. ]
I don't doubt it.
[ now tapping fingers on his knees. ]
I wish--I'm sorry. I don't have much solace for you. I can't offer you protection, I don't know what's coming next. This place seems determined to make us as impotent as fucking possible.

The ears and the hair, generally. Here we are.
