Who: Ardyn + ota
What: Adjusting and generally being the obligatory weird neighbor.
When: ~9/8, late afternoon and evening.
Where: Islet 4 + Enso, ruins/mana pool.
Warnings: FFXV spoilers, nothing else yet.
[islet 4, shack 1]
[He hadn't done much of anything with the miserable little home yet, so the structure on the edge of the islet was easy to mistake for being uninhabited at first glance. But if investigated while the sun was out, one would find its sole resident in the shade of what was left of the roof--doing absolutely nothing productive whatsoever. At most he was tossing a coin to himself, or unfolding a multitool to take better inventory of what was in it.]
[When the sun started to set, however, Ardyn would be standing outside the half-ruined structure, examining the ruined building with what was probably a thoughtful look. No need to live in abject misery until he figured out what to do with this situation, after all. If someone happened to approach, he'd greet them with a brightly charming smile and:]
I don't suppose you know anything about construction, do you?
[enso e5]
[The ruins and mana pool had, for whatever reason, caught Ardyn's attention--as night started to fall he was lingering in the general area as if taking inventory of the immediate surroundings. It was possible that one might have caught a look of faint distaste or annoyance on his face as he looked over the temple remains, but otherwise that look of smug amusement was ever-present. As it grew later he'd be lingering around the mana pool near a small fire to guard against the dark and cold (or at least appear to be doing so.) Generally he seemed to be unfazed by being stuck on a mysterious other world with no regard for the linear nature of time, much less common sense.]
[But then again he'd certainly spent time on worse islands, all things considered.]

[ Well, they were both confused now. She blinked a few times, then glanced down at said razor, and back at Ardyn a little awkwardly. Maybe he didn't know either? ]
Yes..? Is it some kind of dagger?
no subject
[Ardyn was leaning towards 'sheltered' at that point, but then again Infernian only knew when her world decided to invent them next to his own.]
no subject
E-rm...No. I... I'm sorry.
[ She really hadn't ever seen such a thing, but she felt like she was troubling him asking such a thing -- that would be obvious to anyone else, wouldn't it? ]
no subject
[Troubling wasn't the word--closer to 'interesting', all things considered. The sheltered and clueless type tended to be painfully trusting. And the trusting sort was the kind he could utilize.]
[So, Ardyn put on his most charming smile and laughed lightly as though the pair of them had just shared an amusing joke.]
Oh, my dear, there's no need to apologize. Goodness, I thought you were playing a joke on me for a moment. It's just a simple razor--you know, for shaving. [He lightly tapped the side of his face with one finger to illustrate the point, indicating the perpetual five o'clock shadow.] Although I would imagine it would serve as a reasonable cutting edge otherwise, in a dire situation.
no subject
Oh..! No no, I wouldn't know the first thing about something like that. [ Playing jokes and pranks on people. She glanced at the razor again, this time thoughtfully. ]
I wasn't sure it'd be that sturdy as a slashing weapon.. but maybe if I needed to cut fabric or vines. [ She thought she'd like a dagger better though. ]
