He blinked a few times with the other’s response. It looked as if he had taken a moment to process what he had said. How odd.
“South Dakota? That’s in America… right?” He asked, his tone revealing he was not entirely sure. Maybe that’s why this guy dressed so differently… Maybe. “I have a friend from there. Not South Dakota, I mean. From New York City.”
It certainly sounded like one of the states in the country. He had been taught many lessons of different subjects as a child, and this was definitely not one he had remembered. The only places the Assassin really knew were where Ned was from and other famous cities.
“The… year?” He repeated, furrowing his eyebrows confusedly. Not knowing the hour or day of the week was one thing, but the year?
“It’s 1869.” He took a step, adding, “Are you alright? I don’t mean to offend but you don’t seem… entirely alright.”
nodding his head a little, his burned hand reached up to rub at his temple, eyes closed as he listened, too lost in his own thoughts and pain to look at the man, too confused about what is happening. “new york is fairly close, i use to live there before everything went to shit.” right.. like this guy needed a sob story, just get on with it.. eyes flickered up to look at the man, eyes focused on him as he spoke the year.. no.. it couldn’t be, could it?
“w-wait what? 1869..?” but as soon as the man took a step forward, desmond wanted to take a step back, he wasn’t hooked up to the animus or some fucked up machine that allowed him to travel so far back. he was PHYSICALLY here. “no, i don’t think i am alright..” his arm hurt, all burned from when he was suppose to die, save the word from it’s end, the thunderbolt like marks glowed which in return made him pull the sleeve of his hoodie down, not wanting to draw even MORE attention to himself. “i-i.. London, 1869.. i’m not suppose to be here.. i’m from the year..” he cut himself off, not chancing it and maybe fucking things up even more.
eyes settled on the brutish man again and his body wanted to collapse, how this even be happening?
