Anthy's at a window table, slowly draining a mug of Darjeeling tea. She has a boiled egg in a cup in front of her, as yet untouched.

Her biological functions are none of your business.

Well, if she doesn't mention it...

Carefully, "I'm... fine. Just had a weird couple of weeks."

Not that that's uncommon here.

He shrugs slightly, and says "I went through the door and didn't... end up home, and it just took a while to get back."

His tone suggests this is on par with the bar had mixing up his order.

"A forest."

Pause.

"Somewhere."

"Yeah..." he says, looking at her for a moment before considering what else to say to describe it.

"I don't think... it was in my world. But it was just... a large forest, for a while."

Just creepishly friendly wolves and a notable lack of rampaging elephants.

"It was... I don't really remember, I stopped keeping track. I just... found a town eventually. And one of the doors led back here."

"Yeah. Just not sure if I'll try to leave again... soon."

Um.

"Have you been out... recently?"

[identity profile] kayip.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Beat.

"Out of the bar."

[identity profile] kayip.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
He nods vaguely.

"The door works ... right for you, then."

Behrooz is good at deduction.

Um. He just nods again.

"I guess it could," he agrees quietly, "Has it been... raining a lot in your world?"

Oh dear. The weather.

[identity profile] kayip.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh."

Pause.

So.

"Have you been... gardening recently?"

[identity profile] kayip.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. It is here. I guess it's... not going to be winter... soon, though."

[identity profile] kayip.livejournal.com 2006-02-18 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess in a month or so," he says, not showing much enthusiasm either way. "It'll get better out there. At least, not as cold."
