â are you lost? â
;;the flinch that came from the young man was rather immediate, thin hands moving to quickly grasp the hood that concealed his face, his head ducking, attempting to look as if a shiver had overcome him rather than being startled. he doesnât answer for a moment, face tilting enough to peek out at the stranger, uncertain and wavering in place.
â y-yes and no, â he replies timidly at last, his voice sounding almost pubescent, high and nervous and cracking, yet light and soft just the same. â i-iâm aware iâm in paris -- not sure of the details, â the young man admits. he was not very aware of the outside world, though he had read many books and heard many stories, he was dreadful at details and actual location of things. his father had also disliked his interest in journeying abroad and had taken his books -- this made it rather hard to brush up on information.
;;fingers curl into the fabrics of his hood, twitching somewhat anxiously as he takes a step back. he had been travelling for an awful long time, on the run from his father and his princely duties of marriage. he swallows. as much as herbert would love to attempt to converse his way into a place to stay... his distinct lack of trust held his tongue.
