Behrooz is in the bar, sitting at at table, looking over some sheet music the bar had given him. Occasionally, he writes notes on the music in Turkish.

Feel free to bother him. Or offer him food. Or something.

[For 24-ways: Tony and Behrooz talk about Sara and music, while their muns make snarky OOC comments. Behrooz meets Connor, and they deduce that they're probably not from the same universe, and they talk about their lives. With some evasiveness.]

Comments

Because the mun likes to overthread herself,

“Hey, studying music this time?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

Because overthreading is fun! Um.

Behrooz looks up. "Oh, um, Dr. House is... helping me learn to play the piano," he explains quietly, putting the pencil down.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“Ah,” he nods. “How’s he doing? I haven’t seen him in a while.”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"He's ... fine," Behrooz says, still feeling a little guilty about the way their conversation had ended the previous night.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“That’s good.”

Seriously. Tony’s interested in how Behrooz is doing, but he thinks he’s spent up all his words in a conversation they had months ago. Now their conversations are short and sparse, and he’s always tempted to walk away. Or ask him if he’s eaten yet.

Well, maybe they'll have more to talk about when they're not allowed to lie. Like what exactly was going on during certain hours on April 25th. Oh dear...

However, they both have a few deception-filled hours left, so Behrooz nods and says, "Yeah." Moment of silence.

Then, first thing that comes to his mind: "Do you know someone named Sara?"

Yes, he has some mun knowledge help. Shut up.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, indeed! The mystery of who was behind the mirror revealed! “Sara…Sidle?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

dun-dun-DUN.

Ahem.

"I don't know her last name. She just said she knew some people from my time, so I figured..."

Plus she's one of three different people to buy him food in a two-day period, and what teenage boy turns down free food?

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“What does she look like?”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Um, brown hair..." But he decides the faster route would be, "She said she was from Las Vegas in 2005."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“That’s Sara Sidle. She’s a friend of mine.”

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I thought that was probably it."

Behrooz wonders if Sara knew his mother tried to kill Tony. Hmmm. Seems like she would have been less inclined to buy him lunch.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

“I don’t think I told her about you.”

If he did, it was in connection to that crazy woman who tried to kill him. Maybe she has a short memory.

Connor notices Behrooz and walks over to his table.

"Hi, I don't think we've met. I'm Connor."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

He looks up.

"I'm Behrooz," he says. And after a short pause adds, "You can sit down, if you want."

[just-connor.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Connor sits across from him. "Nice to meet you. Been coming here long?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Um, it's been over two months now," he says, checking this in his head. "I went back for a few months once, but only a few days had passed here, and I'm Bound right now." He doesn't sound that sad about it. After a few weeks there didn't seem to be much point in worrying about what would happen when he returned to the outside. "You?"

[just-connor.livejournal.com]

"Just over a week. I'm from Earth, 2004."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm from Earth in 2010." This is completely true.

[just-connor.livejournal.com]

"Oh, cool-" Connor bites his lip to keep himself from asking what the technology's like. "...I guess I'll find out what that's like in six years."

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"It's not... too different," he says, having been asked that question before. Then again, he was eleven and living in Turkey in 2004, so he doesn't remember that much. "But, we might not be from the same universe, anyway."

[just-connor.livejournal.com]

"True. Universes should have better names. It'd help in places like this. Anyway, back home I'm a college student. What's your life like?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"I'm a senior in high school," he says, deciding this is a decent answer because it gives about the same amount of information.

[just-connor.livejournal.com]

Connor nods, and considers. Then he asks curiously, "Any vampires in your universe?"

[kayip.livejournal.com]

"Not that I know of," he says, his eyebrows raising a little. But after meeting Angelina...

"Um, who's President in the U.S. in your time?" he asks, remembering House had never heard of David Palmer.
