[...THERE IS NOT ENOUGH "OH HONEY NO" IN THE WORLD FOR YOU, MERIDIANA.]

Oh, it is all a bit crude - but it's not as though any of them will listen to reason, either.

[heartspoken]

[OH HONEY YES YOU MEAN]

It's just shameful, really.

[...]

I wonder if I might ask you something of a strange question?

[preybeforemeals]

Anything - if you desire to know, I'll do what I can to answer!

[...this is going to either be the best question he's received all week or it's going to go from zero to shitshow in point-six

let's see]

[heartspoken]

Well, it's simply:

[...Apparently it's not really "simply" anything, given how she pauses and seems to grasp around mentally for the right phrasing.]

Is there...well, a place you feel as though you ought to be, right now? One that isn't here?

[...wait, shit, that sounded like a passive-aggressive brush-off —]

— That is, may I ask how it is you came to be in this city? Do you live here?

[#catlike grace #nailed it #so smooth #no one saw that]

[preybeforemeals]

[Well, for what it's worth that actually gets a laugh out of him - really, even if it was a brush-off...well, he's had worse and they didn't deter him then, so, uh. Take that as you will!]

...Ah, no, no, I'm not from this place, either. Many of us seem to be in the same situation, really - c'est malheureux, terribly unfortunate all around, but from what I've heard there's not much we can do about it for now besides enjoy the view.

[heartspoken]

[Honestly, it's because of the catlike grace of the last question that she hesitantly opts out of the follow-up she's tempted to ask, if only because there is literally no social protocol whatsoever that can prepare someone for the rather awkward question of inquiring as to whether or not someone is currently supposed to be dead and really kind of not, and...

...well, she's a bit oddly situated when it comes to supposed to be dead and really kind of not as it is, anyway.]

You're a foreigner, but you speak French very well.

[And that is a curiosity to her Victorian English sensibilities.]

That must be nice — do you travel often?

[preybeforemeals]

[It's probably fortunate that she's opted out of that, just because goodness no social protocol for that indeed. Even where he's from, the closest he's gotten to that question being anywhere near appropriate was aimed toward someone who quite simply wasn't dying fast enough and kept grabbing him at the most inopportune times.

...It's good that Nishiki isn't here right now, that isn't a particularly fond memory.]

Ahh, not nearly as much as I would like, sadly enough! Before now, my travels were restricted to the worlds shown to me in books - which really isn't a restriction at all, should the authors be competent enough.
