dramatispersonae | breeze's heart

[ Tugging at his sweater with an uncertain glance around. This is just as strange as before... Trying not to make a face at the smells he pauses before approaching the small table. A map seems to be the obvious starting point, right? ]

...Hi?

[ There's not much to look at on the table, just some handmade maps and a baggie full of double A batteries. ]

Hi. Who are you?

[ Will he slap her hand a way if he goes to grab some though, that is the question. Pauseees. ]

I'm Ao.

[ She lets him take what he wants. ]

... What are you doing in here?

I don't know. [ It's a simple answer. ] What I can?

[ She frowns. ]

... Well, be careful. Here, take this—

[ She hands him a map and a few batteries, as well as a baggie of roast pigeon meat. ]

[ He'll at least take it carefully and uncertainly! He's bad at these kind of things. ]

Even if we're careful that doesn't change things are, right? [ A serious comment before he tries for an uncertain smile. ] Thanks. I'll do what I can with them.

You're welcome. Don't waste it.

Mm. I won't.

[ Tucks away the batteries and meat and goes to glance at the map. ] What do you like...?

[ The map has three locations clearly drawn, and a fourth that looks so faded it's illegible: Perdido Beach, Carnelian, and Coates Academy. ]

What do I like?
