Who: Amberdrake and Spike
What: A chance first meeting~
Where: Out and about in Ludmead.
When: Present
Notes: --
Warnings: --

The skin around Amberdrake's eye is still a rather disconcerting shade of ick from his mean bastard of a black eye the other day, but it's healing up nicely... and a touch faster than one might normally expect. It's not so shockingly noticeable, now, that the kestra'chern will avoid leaving the house at all, although he hasn't yet gone back to work.

In fact, the walk he's on is one he figures will stay solitary, on his way back from... somewhere, heading for the house again. It's a ways off, and he's got his head ducked a bit as he goes, although the vibe around him remains calm and serene as usual.

sorry for the slowness, had a rough couple days

Amberdrake is just amazingly accommodating like that, and not at all above letting himself seem easily-manipulated.

"Well, west is that way, and obviously east, north, south," he points them all out, just in case. Between all the travel he's done on foot and by wagon, and almost as much by ship, he tends to keep the directions pretty solid in the back of his head. One of the first things he'd done upon arriving was ask which direction was considered which, here.

He'll wander along in whatever direction Spike sets out in, if he does at all.

"Amberdrake," he introduces himself, not giving a surname. Clan affiliation is not quite the same thing, he's found in the past, so he doesn't bother to name it. "I've been in town a little over a month, and yourself?"

no problem at all!

He raises an eyebrow slightly, but remains politely reserved in his expressions. Not as long as Spike has been here, and yet the guy gives the impression that he knows enough to offer directions. As if he needs more proof in how much he's wasted his time.

"Around the same, actually." Twice that. It didn't matter back then, so he isn't going to dwell on his shortcomings. There would be plenty more time for that later. Right now, he would focus on Drake, try to gleam what he can out of a fellow survivor. "I haven't even found a place to stay."

[amberdrake]

"Where have you been staying?" Amberdrake is a little startled at that, raising an eyebrow. Spike seems perfectly alive, surely he needs to sleep somewhere.

[jericho941]

"At an inn," he replies easily, like this isn't a pressing issue that he should take seriously. The fact is that doing whatever he can to scrape by isn't good enough any more. "I've kind of overstayed my welcome. They only let you get by on credit for so long."
