(( The face on the screen is mostly impassive. But the eyes are a mix of confusion, irritation, and some small bit of amusement. He sat through the orientation, listened to everything that was said, and still has to ask... ))

Is this some kind of joke? This is all pretty elaborate, I have to give you credit for that. But, uh, can we stop playing now?

Comments

[Silvio bows his head as he laughs softly.]

Maybe you should heat it up now then. You sound hungry.

[waitingtobegin]

(( Simon smiled sheepishly, unaware that silvio couldn't see it. ))

It's been a long day already. Would you like some?

[typhlotic]

Is there a kitchen nearby? I can get it warmed up for us.

[waitingtobegin]

It's just down the hall. To the left.

[typhlotic]

Let's go then. Bring the stew.

[He grins and waves for him to come with him, leading the way and using his nose to find the kitchen. Though finding a pot? That's trickier. He does seem to open several cabinets to feel around rather than just look.]

[waitingtobegin]

Okay.

(( Simon grabs the container of stew and follows behind Silvio. It's not a far walk, just a straight shot down the hallway and then a left leads them there. He takes note of the curious behavior and steps in to intervene. ))

Over here.

(( It's a cabinet Silvio hasn't opened yet. Simon fishes around for a pot among the items there and sets it on the stove. He tried to familiarize himself with where things were when he first arrived a little bit ago. It was good to know where things were in the place you're going to be living, after all.

He grabs a spoon and starts scraping the contents of Silvio's container into the pot. It smells even better to Simon once it begins to warm. ))

Did you make this?

[typhlotic]

Ah. Thanks.

[Coming over, he smiles a bit.]

Yeah. I did. Hope you don't mind rabbit.

[Silvio takes over to stir it, sniffing every so often so that way he can make sure it smells right. He knows it smells a certain way when it's just hot enough.]

I'm not a master chef or anything but I'm pretty good at putting something together from things I find in the forest.

[waitingtobegin]

You were serious about living off the land, huh?

(( There's a faint hint of a smile on his lips. Not that he thought Silvio had been lying, but people can be prone to exaggeration. Or simply using certain turns of phrase without meaning them literally. ))

Thank you for this.

[typhlotic]

[He laughs a bit and nods.]

The city is too loud for me to stay in all the time. Most of the time I'm by myself out in the woods. There I'm able to sleep. Right now I just have a camp there but it's not bad.

[waitingtobegin]

(( Simon hesitates a beat before he asked the question that comment brings to mind. Silvio was feeling around the cupboards, his hearing seems to be keener than the average guy's... ))

Is there something the matter with your eyes?

[typhlotic]

I'm blind actually. I make up for it in other ways but I'm totally blind.

[He doesn't mind answering the question. It is what it is. Besides, it's harder for him to hide in here when there's so much he's having to adjust to. So he's just learned to share the information more often.]

[waitingtobegin]

Oh, wow...!

(( He wouldn't have gussed that Silvio was totally blind. Maybe just a little impaired ))

I wouldn't have thought that.

[typhlotic]

I make up for it with my nose and ears. But it doesn't help with everything. Like finding a pot in a kitchen I've never been in before.
