"You're about three city blocks length wise from the Task Force headquarters, not that units of measure mean much in Ravellon." She glared for a moment, then scowled. "Let me guess. Call to wake, woke up here, no clue where the ****S you are? Sound about right?"

[blind_masseur]

It certainly meant nothing to him, but he appreciates her frank words. At her question he gives a short chuckle and nods with an agreeing hum.

"Sounds about right, while everything here sounds strange."

whooooo ellllllseeeee dooooo yooooouuuu waaaaaaaaant?

[kaylinneya]

"Yeah, well, welcome to Ravellon," she muttered under her breath, shaking her head.

"Alright. So short version, because I am **** bad at this, and the wrong ***** person for this, but I'm here, so I'm what you've got. This place is some sort of nexus or something, don't ask for a better word." She failed magical theory. "It's the word I've got. Lots of words overlap here, and we all get tossed in the middle. Heart of Chaos or some ***** that basically translates to we're all pretty much *****ed. So until the other **** shoe drops, do your best to not get killed, kill anyone else, or cause any other trouble that would lead to my hauling your sorry *** to jail. Any questions so far?"

[blind_masseur]

"A.....nexus." It's clear the word is foreign to him, but he'll use it since that's all he has right now. As for everything else, he files away what little he can between curses, nodding when she finishes. So...she was the constabulary, or at least part of the local law enforcement? He tucks his chin a little lower. She was not someone he wanted to start trouble with, not in a new place like this.

"No questions so far."

[kaylinneya]

No questions so far? What the actual ****s? Her explanation had been ***** poor at best and she ***** well knew it. How the *****s did he understand anything from that? She considered a moment, then finally shrugged. Not her ***** problem. "Alright, so we should get you to a welcome house." She was going to take him to the one where she lived because it was one of the few **** places she could find without getting lost.

[blind_masseur]

The truth was, he didn't understand much of any of it. The idea of a nexus is so beyond him, but he'll catch on with time and experience. Hopefully experience that doesn't leave him with a lasting 'lesson'.

"Thank you, Miss." He half-bows again, before finally uncurling himself and standing up somewhat straight. His shoulders hunch forward and that red cane is tapped once on the ground before him to get an idea of the ground under his sandals. His eyes remain closed and face pointed mostly downward.

[kaylinneya]

"Kaylin," she corrected. "Or Private, if you must." Not the first blind person she's met. And as she grew up in the fief, she's learned not to offer help. Good way to lose your purse or get a knife to the ribs.

Still... she had resources here that she didn't have in the fiefs. She pulled her Pokeball and tossed it in the air. Salamence appeared between them. It moved so that its wing brushed his fingers. "You can ride, or just use him for a guide, if you want."

[blind_masseur]

Even though Zatoichi wouldn't hurt her, she's still smart. His hidden blade would only add more proof that her decision was wise.

His hand pulls back a moment before it reaches out again and tentatively touches Salamence's wing again. He is clearly going to be using it for a guide.

"Thank you. I prefer to keep my feet on the ground, but the help is appreciated." What creature was guiding him, he could only guess. It was all new and confusing, but he would go with things until he got a better idea of how to operate in this strange place.

[kaylinneya]

She snorted. "Really? Given the choice, I'd rather fly. Sadly, born human. So, you know. ***** for me," she said with a smirk. She started walking, and the Pokemon slowly moved alongside her, so he could walk with her.

[blind_masseur]

"Considering there's not much of a change in view for me..." He retorts gently, in good humor.

[kaylinneya]

"There is more than the veiw to flying. Not dealing with crowds shoving at you, and the smells you can't escape, feeling the wind... not being tied to the earth....." She shook her head a bit. "Doesn't **** well matter, though, does it?"

[blind_masseur]

"I have never flown, and I find just climbing a tree unsettling." His cane tap-taps along the ground gently.

"If it matters to you, though, then it's something I might have to consider once I get my feet back under me, properly." He raises his chin finally, offering a smile to the sky above them.

[kaylinneya]

"Yeah, well it's not like wishing can give us wings." Her stomach growled, she did her best to ignore it.

[blind_masseur]

"Too true." His head swivels when he hears her stomach growl.

"Miss Kaylin, if I may, I do not have much but the least I could do to thank you is buy you something to eat."

[kaylinneya]

"I appreciate the offer. But the Welcome Houses supply food. And there isn't anywhere to buy it. No ***** money here..." That still bugged her.

[blind_masseur]

That earns a brief halt of his steps.

"No money?" If he could look aghast with his eyes closed, he was managing it now.

[kaylinneya]

She glanced back, stopping. Weird, seeing her own expressions on someone else's face. "Yeah. Weird as anything not having a **** pay chit to argue over. Good **** thing I know how to bet without money or I'd lose my ***** mind here."

[blind_masseur]

"What do you bet with, if not money?" Food? That seemed ill-advised, though if it was simply given out, it was something at least.

[kaylinneya]

"Favors, mostly. Leia bet me some new curse words over if I'll be able to finish some basic magic lessons. Dirty trick, really."

She shrugged, it was all fief. "Growing up where I did... no one had money, and betting was just about the only thing to enjoy as a child. Especially after sundown. There is alway a way to gamble."

[blind_masseur]

Considering his career choice as a masseur, that really didn't leave him with much to bet. If words were currency though, he might have to learn to make-due.

"Sounds like home to me. It's not quite the same, but maybe we can have a game sometime. I'm not certain what we could put on the table, but even pebbles would be something, eh?" He chuckles warmly.

[kaylinneya]

"You bet?" She grinned a bit. "Nice. Course, I have an advantage on anything we'd bet on here, having been here longer." She told the small voice in her head that sounded like Severn to shut up when it pointed out that she'd probably still manage to lose the bet.

[blind_masseur]

"It gives me an incentive to learn." He chuckles. "At least for a little while, I'll be a low-risk challenge for you."

[kaylinneya]

"It'll be a nice change of pace to win every once in a while," she muttered.

[blind_masseur]

"It'll be a nice change of pace to gamble with a friendly voice."

[kaylinneya]

She snorted. "*****. If you think I sound friendly your world must be even more messed up than mine." And that was saying something.
