And be it gash or gold it will not come again in this identical guise. [OPEN]

Who: Sebastian and YOU? (Also, Podder and Sol.)
What: Part open post, part wizard talk.
Where: The open post can be for anywhere in Hellsing Guild House or Baedal.
When: Newdi
Notes: I've been so slow about posting this open thread. *sob*
Warnings: None, yet.

Always adaptable, Sebastian has found it easy to settle into life in Baedal. There are times when he thinks it's the best of both worlds: he doesn't need to lie about his abilities (or lack thereof) and he's able to do useful, constructive things. Most of his days are filled with rebuilding and repairing the Hellsing Guild Hall and the evenings walking through the city or working through Malfoy's never ending reading list. It's not an ideal existence, but for as long as he's in exile from Britain it's the best he can hope for.

"Good evening."

She offers a smile as she passes the man and his dog on the sidewalk, just outside a tavern. She's been out shopping--she has a small bag tucked under one arm--and she's headed back to the Inn.

She glances up at a sign over the door as she moves, eyes darting up and then back to the path ahead. Two more steps, though, and she slows, biting her lip. She knows that name.

...Responsibility rears its head again.

"I'm sorry," she says, turning and moving back, offering a bright, reassuring smile. "If you were considering a meal at this place, don't. The mussels are bad."

Contaminated. Not handled well, and people are going to get ill from them by morning. She can't very well barge in and announce it, though--she'll get tossed out. But at least she can warn one person?

"Oh," he says, looking a little surprised, "That's awful and good to know. Thank you."

Sebastian has never really gotten used to the fishiness of mussels and probably would've avoided them anyway, but he's not one to ignore freely given advice. "Is there somewhere else you'd suggest?"

"Oh, I--no." She offers a bright smile to try to smooth away any awkwardness. "Just not here, that's all."

That's the hard part of never leading with so fifteen years ago when I was inexplicably ill I had the most random visions about my future and now I know things I shouldn't--there's not always an easy way to cover. Hopefully this suffices.

"I'm afraid I don't have very extensive experience with the city. I'm a recent arrival."
