▹ I'm doing alright, thank you for your concern. He lightly elevated his head, looking around before he looked back at the lady, relatively unbothered by his circumstances. ▹ How long have I been asleep for? Quite some time, Zacharie. Quite some time.

[ A gentle, relieved smile took her expression as the merchant had begun to stir into consciousness. ] "Bonjour... You were asleep for quite some time." [ Her head tilted slightly. ] "I wanted to be certain you were well."

▹ ... hmm? He stirred awake slowly and gently, as if he woke up from a mere 20 minute nap. His mask blinked a few times before he finally came to full consciousness, glancing at the maiden with acceptance. ▹ Ah. Bonjour, madame. Do you need anything? +

[ Cloven feet delicately meet the ground in quiet taps as she approached the slumbering merchant. ] [ Whoever it could be knelt beside him. Hands resembling gentle talons rested on his arms as she lightly shook him. ] "... Monsieur?" [ Another gentle shake. ]

▹ I play guitar and ocassionally sing. I'd love to play for you right now, but I have a mission to fulfill. He shrugged, disregarding the last sentence that at first glance, had nothing to do with their interaction. ▹ ... I could get you a piano, but +

"Keyboards? Nein, only pianos." Bernard dug into the chocolate rather quickly. He had always liked chocolate but, for some reason, this just tasted especially good. "..Do you- ah, play any instruments?" It wasn't that he was trying to make awkward small talk, he was actually curious. It was just -

▹ Don't worry about it. We've been friends for years. I'm just surprised he's gotten so attached to a person of all things. He is more than familiar with the servant-like way Batter acts with the people he holds dear, fetching and obeying whatever he's told. +

- state now. Sad, but not as....... Cliche addict.

▹ You'd be surprised about how often you end up being a topic of conversation between us these days. Well, it's a very one sided conversation. It's more so Batter somehow u-turning the topic back to Bernard no matter what and Zacharie listening. +

- friend." He meekly chuckles, then nods, "But eh. Yeah. Why?"

▹ It's no problem. Why would I be bothered by that? He took out.. a tangly object from his backpack. Seemingly a fidget toy. He offered it to Bernard. ▹ Just incase you need something to do with your hands. He turned his head and his mask squinted. +

Oh. He remembers this guy. Unfortunately, his memory of his name is a bit... Foggy. Looking up from his self pity, he clears his throat as if that would excrete the pollutants in his trachea, "Ah. Hello. Sorry. You caught me at a bad time." A bad time could really mean anything, but in this -

Coincidentally, there was a somewhat familiar masked man nearby, shoving items into his backpack. When he was about to shove the last item into the seemingly endlessly spacious bag, he looked up, blinking a few times. ▹ Bonne soirée. This time, the french didn't come +

▹ I had a feeling. There's appearantly a lot of demand for muscular yet soft masked men. He puts on sunglasses over his mask. Well, atleast he took it well!

- and his opioids, of course. "..Smash." Despite that, he doesn't know much about Zacharie, nor does he remember much. Still, it wouldn't hurt to get to know him! And besides, he's got a soft spot for masked men.

[ Very lightly and tenderly shaking him. As if he would shatter to the slightest of contact. ]

... someone wake him up, he is KNOCKED out asleep and it's been like a year. His dream isn't even that interesting anymore, since two people in it suddenly disappeared.
