who let the bones collide

[gramarye]

Who: Sebastian and Wolfgang
What: A meeting of nerds.
Where: Idk...
When: Ruudary 22nd? Definitely before the new Militia madness.
Warnings: There may be... books.

Apprehensive as he is about the presence of dogs -- it's depressing, he actually quite likes dogs (or at least the idea of them) and doesn't understand why they all seem to hate him -- Wolfgang is still grateful for the opportunity to make some money, which he desperately needs. If he could just get his feet back under him, it wouldn't be so bad; it's not the first time he's had to rebuild from the ground up under difficult circumstances, after all. At least he speaks the language, here, or more accurately, the city speaks it for him.

When he shows up it's pretty clear he's serious about this, wearing jeans and a practical shirt instead of one of his usual bizarre ensembles, with his hair pulled back out of his face in a messy braid. His face is looking better by now except for that scar, which doesn't even bother him that much -- he fancies it makes him look kind of tough. (He is wrong.) He would be the tall young man approaching the building, a store that's getting set up to open. He can guess Sebastian must be the man with the dog, which he is making a point to not sneak up on because that makes it so much worse. "Hello -- Sebastian, right?"

"That's right. Come on in," he says with a smile. Wolfgang may notice that Sebastian walks with a limp but carries himself with an easy confidence. "This is Velcro and he's usually pretty relaxed. He's been trained with a sort of protection and agility system that means even if he is aggressive, it's controlled and he won't do anything unexpected or without a command."

For his part, while Velcro is curious about Wolfgang, he'll ignore the other man unless Sebastian motions that they should meet.

Come on in he does, then, paying more attention to Sebastian than Velcro, although he's aware of the dog. "That's good to know." He'll still keep his distance; understandably he's a little gunshy around dogs, although he'll take Sebastian at his word about his training. The fact that he hasn't immediately lunged for him means it's almost certainly true; typically they have a very dramatic reaction by now.

"So, what am I doing, here?"

"Painting. I've gotten the tape up and around everything, so all I really need you to do is the wall coats and then I can show you how the detailing works. Do you have any experience with it?" If not, Sebastian is willing to show him how.

"It's been a while, but yes." It's the kind of thing you don't really need any language skills to do, so things like this are the types of jobs he worked first in Turkey, until he got a grasp on Turkish.
