5th Titan • Claudia • [In Person]

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[Claudia is in the Louvre. She's never seen a place quite like it and has been wandering the halls with fascination since she got here. Now she is paused before this statue taking in its every curve and curl with fascination. There is almost something sad about the look on her face.]

[Taking Robin's advice, he decides that a little sightseeing isn't such a bad idea. The Louvre is not only the driest place, it also had the most stuff. Stuff that he can analyze, stuff that he can stare at and pornographic stuff that didn't really matter to the rest of the world that held information about the social structures of the past.

His voice was soft and very easy to listen to despite his blunt words.]

There's something to appreciate about Romanesque sculpture and design. They sure did appreciate the form of the human body and how it worked in synchronous design. But that's not why you're looking so sad, is it?

[She's startled when she spins around. She was so immersed in her own thoughts she hadn't noticed him or his presence until he speaks. She stares at him, wide eyed, almost as if she doesn't understand him. Then she lets herself breathe and shakes her head]



[It's hard to say who she's talking about, the Romans or her own people]

[He looks back at the statue and nods.]

I tend to do that sometimes. Maybe seeing this, everything that we know of in retrospection has a sort of intrinsic design that allows us to remember what was lost. You, being here and you obviously remember this, can teach those that don't know the truth something that wasn't written down in the history books.

[Claudia nods. Oh the things she could tell him. The hundreds of things she remembered and no other living person did, that no other living person even -knew- of or could imagine. And her thoughts turn to home as she studies the statue again. It's been a long time since she cried, after decades of solitude the tears just didn't come anymore.

She wondered whether the ruins she was always surrounded by, the statues and the broken pieces of marble, would ever be housed in a place like this. She hasn't yet found the Medieval wing, which would undoubtedly shake her even more.]

[Her silence depicted contemplation and he looked back at the statue, imagining what it was like in those times. He would be of course way off in his own right only because he's never been where she was. However it did bring a sort of new peace to his mind now that he was thinking about something other than what was wrong with the world but rather what was right with the world instead.]

I'm glad we have the chance to see them without being clouded with false pretenses and terrible tour guides talking the entire time.

[Claudia smiles, she has only a vague understanding of what he means, but she appreciates his company.]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

[There was a small smile coming to him.]

Sure.

[The vast exhibit halls cast an echo and somehow this seemed pleasing to him.]

What would you like to see first?

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[He thinks on this for a moment and nods.]

Okay, how about we look at something that doesn't give you sad memories. How about Early Renaissance?

[It shouldn't be the surprising he's here, but that would only be unsurprising to those who know who he really is. He's mostly here to look over the place one last time before he sends his note, though he's wary of being spotted by various detectives from his world. Despite this he decides to go up to Claudia because he recognizes her from when he first arrived in the manor.]

Hey.

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She spins around startled and looks as if she might attack. Her hand does go to the Dark Crystal she has folded into her belt. But she stops when she sees him and the fear fades from her eyes. She gives him a very weak smile]

[nofishplz.livejournal.com]

[Kaito jumps back slightly at that, though he relaxes quickly when she does, smiling back a bit sheepishly.] Whoa! Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you.

[He turns to look at the statue.] So, uh, enjoying the sights so far?

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

[nofishplz.livejournal.com]

[Kaito grins at her.] Yeah. Other than the drones walking around anyway.

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, those people have been freaking her out too. She's so unused to being around people. She has kind of grown to like it though, although she's in a city filled with people they offer no more interaction than trees which makes her feel more comfortable]

I went to take a look at the Eiffel Tower the other day. It's been a long time since I last saw it. [The last time had been when his dad had brought him there while they were on tour in France, but that was years ago and he'd been little then.]

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[The girl is from 1047, she has no idea what's even going on]

[last-dracula.livejournal.com]

[Well, he is at least not in wolf form right now, although the "people" NOT giving him a few feet berth whether they realize they're doing it or not is further confusing him.]

[But at least there's someone else here who doesn't seem to be one of the residents.]

Hello? [He's keeping a little back, cautiously, and definitely a bit nervous - noooo idea what reaction he's going to get.]

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She spins around, startled. It takes her a moment to adjust to the present again after being tugged from her thoughts of the past. She blinks when she spots him. They've never met before but something feels...no, she dismisses it. After a moment of thought she decides to approach. Approach via cartwheeling, but approach none the less.]

[last-dracula.livejournal.com]

Hi - uh. [If you get the feeling he's not sure how to deal with people half the time, you're right.] Do you ... have any clue what's going on around here? [Clueless noob sign goes here!]

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[That's okay, she doesn't know how to deal with people all the time. She pops up in front of him with her hands behind her back, looking up at him with her neck craned. She shrugs]

[last-dracula.livejournal.com]

[The combination of suddenly being behind him and voice-in-his-head gets a startled jump - the last time there was a voice in his head that wasn't his - well, it WAS his own internal-monologue voice turning into someone else's, but it was enough of a Very Bad Thing for him to be a little reflexively jumpy - even if she wasn't threatening.]

I, uh, just woke up here and I don't know where I am or how I got here - last night I was in Eastern Europe and - there's stuff I really shouldn't be this far away from, wherever here is-

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She leans up, taking him in with keen brown eyes.]



[She nods]

[last-dracula.livejournal.com]

[That does cause a bit of self-consciousness - he's well aware of how odd he looks, even though reasonably she's talking in his head and probably doesn't have any reason to react based on that.]

Not usually, I just don't deal with people much, and I don't get many people that will just come up and talk to me like this.

... It's not like it was when I passed through here, either, and the people aren't right.

[last-ofherkind.livejournal.com]

[She says this a little too happily]
