[Action]

[For those in the town square this fine day, they may find a red blur falling out of the sky and straight into the fountain with a loud scream and a crash. Grell is back in Luceti, looking like a drowned rat, and none too pleased to be here.]

WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME SOMEWHERE RATIONAL?!

[Voice]

...Does anyone know where I can find a good hair product? That bloody fountain seems to have ruined my beautiful locks and since I can't blow that thing up, I may as well take care of this.

And for those who are wondering? Yes, the parlour is still going up. Even if kills me. Or one of you.

[Looking over at the cough and the motion, Grell squints. Is he offering a hand? Or more importantly, is he handsome? Without her glasses, she can't tell and for a moment, the death god stares.]

My glasses. Red frames. I believe they fell off. If you could help? I'm no good without them.

Glasses? [ still a little stunned, he takes a moment to jump to. oh, but when he does! when he does!

sharpe tugs off his green jacket and rolls up his shirt-sleeves, perfectly prepared to start feeling around the fountain's base for any lost thing. ]

A-aye. Just a moment, miss.

[Familiar voice on this one. She stands still, knowing better than to move when her glasses are off. If they break, she can't see the Records and if she can't see those, things just go bad.

Grell crouches after a moment, feeling about herself, fingers brushing the bottom of the fountain.]

Oh, this is just lovely. Just what I wanted to do after being held captive for a month.

[SIGH]

I fit them with a chain, but I'm afraid it slipped off when they so cheerfully dumped me 15 meters off the ground.

Mayhaps it's time to get a pin, too.

[ his conversation is brusque and idle. however, he soon has a pair of red spectacles trawled up from the depths of the fountain. sharpe makes a point of drying them off on his shirt hem before pressing them into grell's hands.

he keeps his thoughts about being captive for a month to himself. ]

Mm, perhaps.

[Brisk conversation is never a turn-off for her and, after the glasses are found and settled back on the bridge of her nose, she gives the familiar stranger a good once-over.]

Well, aren't I lucky to be rescued by such a handsome devil.

Don't know naught about handsome, miss.

[ but devil? aye. it fits well enough, he supposed. sharpe crooks his body into a shallow bow. ] Y'alright?

[ grell did just fall from the sky, after all. ]

Then take the compliment from someone who is quite knowledgeable in this field.

[She curtsies as best she can and climbs out of the fountain, wringing water from her hair.]

I would be a great deal better if I had dry clothes and a towel, if that is what you are asking.

Don't know what I could do 'bout a towel but...

[ he jerks his head towards the shop. ] There's garments there.

And shall you make a lady walk there by herself after being put through such an ordeal as being dropped from the sky?

A'course not.

[ his answer is brusque. he carefully tucks away his whittling knife from where he'd left it on the fountain's lip. ] I'd be honoured.

I must say, I am quite pleased with Luceti's growth in the gentlemen department. It's so refreshing to finally meet someone with proper manners.

[ proper? oh, he could laugh. he was about a proper as a guttersnipe could be, he supposed. ]

Been treated rough by others, have ye?

[Dryly] Did you miss the part where I mentioned my month-long captivity?

It isn't easy, even for gods, when those heathen Malnosso take us, you know.

[ gods? he quirks a brow as he offers an arm. ]

I meant by the villagers back here, ma'am. It stands to reason that our captors couldn't be kind.

[She takes said arm with a smile.]

Captors have the capacity for kindness, but they often fail to see the necessity of exercising it.

A flaw I've seen far too often for my tastes, to be honest. But less about that and more about you. What name shall I call you by?
