<marco> Hi, this is Marco! (Though you probably already knew that ;D)
<marco> How can I help you today?
heyhohey: You can let the light in (Maybe one of these days)

[If the similarity to the doppel hadn't done it, the smile makes Alfred certain. Timid, nervous, he closes the distance, hesitating before daring to sit.

His fingers shake around the coffee cup. The poor thing is terrified, upset, looking for all the world like he feels exposed.]


...Ah...are you...are you Marco?

I'm...Alfred. From the...from the network.

['You look nice with a shirt on,' part of him wants to say, but he doesn't say it. Things are awkward enough.]

[The meaning is caught - and appreciated. The boy breathes a little sigh of relief, bowing his head in greeting as he pulls the chair out to sink into the seat across from Marco, settling his coffee on the table.

He's glad to let what had happened with the doppels go.

He's glad to try and forget it.]


Likewise. I - I really appreciate you...taking the time. I - all of this, is...it's...

Well, after the flowers, this has just been...another hard thing. I - I don't really know where to start.

[The flowers had been catastrophic for Alfred. He had come so close to dying, and all because he couldn't let things go. Now this.

He knows he needs to talk, he does. It's just...difficult. He draws a slow breath, nodding at Marco's words.]


...All right.

I - ah - well - maybe proper introductions, then? We haven't really gotten to...to speak, properly. I am not a good typist, and the network is...challenging.
heyhohey: The way that words do (Nothing's gonna hurt you)

[personal profile] heyhohey 2022-05-02 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - ah - yes.

I-I am from the late eighteen-hundreds. I grew up in rural Germany, b-but I was...I was in Transylvania, just before I came here.

[Slowly, he is starting to calm a little, easing into the conversation - but his hands still fidget around his coffee cup, his shoulders still drawing taut and inward.]
heyhohey: (Somebody's watching us) (Suddenly bubbling posthumous)

[When Alfred tugs anxiously at his collar, the wicked, gnarled bite scar out of the left side of his neck might work to support those conclusions, whether Marco tries to sidestep them or not.]

That does not surprise me. But - you know of Germany? That...makes things a little easier. I have met a few here who had never heard of it.

Wh-when were you from, then?
heyhohey: The way that words do (Nothing's gonna hurt you)

this is SO LATE I AM SORRY you are not obligated to respond

[personal profile] heyhohey 2022-06-05 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Italy! Yes, that - that at least means our worlds were...similar in some ways, I suppose? I am still figuring out how all of this...works.

[He blinks at the response to his question, eyes widening.]

2016? That's...so far afield. The things here must seem sort of...primitive, to you, then?
