[Frey can safely say that this is the first time that he's woken up on the pavement before. He's greeted with the sight of a night sky dotted with stars, cool air around him still. It's a strange serenity settled around him, a sharp contrast to the wariness that swiftly floods him as he sits up, taking in more of his surroundings. Taking stock of himself.
It doesn't appear that he's injured, though he'd have to give himself a closer inspection later. He can't feel pain, after all. If it isn't something readily apparent, he wouldn't know.
As he picks himself up, he takes in the people and buildings stationed around him. Nobody seems concerned about the fact that a man was just unconscious on the pavement, going about their business. Colorful shop signs glow brightly, heralding the names of stores and venues with which he isn't at all familiar.
In fact...nothing here strikes him as something he's seen before.
His frown is nearly imperceptible as he pushes himself to start walking - to seek out something that isn't foreign. He's got to get his bearings]
[ what frey finds instead is a redhead crouched low to the pavement and conversing with a moogle. linus unfortunately does not speak in kupo, but despite the fact that he has no idea what's really going on, he can't help but stay and try to listen as the moogle waves its stubby arms and kupo kupopos on and on in what he assumes is a very important story.
he's got his chin propped up in one hand as he nods, ]
Uh-huh... and what happened next? They attacked your store? [ kupo kupo! ] Man, what dicks.
[Now, he didn't expect to cross paths with a man talking to what looks like a stuffed animal. He's seen stuffed animals enchanted to move about and make sounds, but nothing quite like this. And he's certainly never seen a grown man trying to carry on conversation with it. After all, isn't simply a toy...isn't it?
Excuse him while he just stands behind Linus with his stoneface trying to figure out what in the world he's doing.
The very friendliest way to greet anyone, indeed.
Hi hello he's Frey Asher. And he thinks you're talking to a stuffed animal]
[ meanwhile linus is... still listening to the moogle. frey might be right in it possibly being a stuffed animal; linus has never seen anything like it in his life, but it sure is cute. whether or not he notices frey behind him is unknown, as he doesn't comment on it yet, but frey may notice the atmosphere around them getting a little warmer for a brief moment.
the moogle ends up being the one to say something, lifting an arm up, and linus finally turns around. ]
Oh, [ wow, this guy sure has a stoneface. frey and diego could probably be friends. linus greets him with a smile regardless. ] Hey, there. How's it going?
[ the moogle makes another sound. ]
Huh? What's that? [ linus leans closer to it, as if it's sharing a secret with him. he responds in a loud stage whisper, ] Yeah, he does look kinda scary, doesn't he? Don't worry, I bet he's a softie on the inside. I've got a friend back home that looks just like him.
[Soft on the inside... It's not wrong, but Frey stiffens at the suggestion all the same. That sort of thing was always frowned upon, undesirable in a way that was always impressed upon him as unacceptable. But in this instance, he's sure it's just a platitude for the stuffed animal.
Provided that it really is one, he's unsure of that at this point. It actually looked nervous. As nervous as something with an unmoving face can, twitching nose aside]
I doubt you're acquainted with a doppelganger.
[Shape-shifters were hunted to near-extinction, considering what kind of trouble they could cause. That was well before Frey's time, but he's certainly aware of it]
Well, for one, he's got silver hair in a bowl cut. So, definitely not a doppelganger. Speaking of, I do know one. She's a nice girl. Kind of quiet, though.
[ he's just running his mouth at this point, absently petting the moogle's head. it seems to relax a little, bobbing its pom pom in a more curious manner. at least, that's what linus assumes.
but he does come to a stand, if only to get a better look at frey. he noticed the way frey stiffened earlier, wondering if maybe getting compliments from strangers is something he's unused to. which is a shame, he thinks, because frey is rather good looking, personality aside. ]
I'm Linus, by the way, [ he says while extending a gloved hand. if frey takes it, it'll feel much warmer than it should despite the material. ] Don't suppose you've been to this town before?
[Being offered a handshake like that is anomalous to Frey's experience. A Suit is viewed as synonymous with death itself, and so...people tend to avoid contact. They tend to walk on the other side of the street, sit at tables far away, speak behind hands and generally avoid interaction wherever possible.
And his manner of dress makes his vocation obvious. Unlike others, he doesn't bother trying to hide it - doesn't see a point in pretending he's something else just so people will deign to be near him.
So the length of time he spends debating with himself is just long enough to stand out, before he almost cautiously grasps that gloved hand for a brief handshake. While the heat is odd, he assumes it's the nature of this man's mana]
Frey. First I've been here.
[And then he lets go, as though the man might just catch fire if he lingers too long]
