meet & greet; @seacarried
The room looked like something halfway between teenage rebellion and aftermath of a natural disaster. It had been a very nice room to begin with, better than anything he’d expected, with all the trappings of a high-end hotel whose heyday had passed. Queen bed. Attached bathroom with shower and tub, albeit very limited water pressure. A surfeit of pillows.
Ragnar pushed his hair back and heaved a sigh.
The first pass was to look for anything he could possibly use as a weapon, tool, communicator, anything. There were electrical cords, but unless he also planned to haul around the television set along with them, they probably wouldn’t work. The lamp, maybe, in a pinch.
The second pass happened in the middle of the night. He woke up in cold sweat and lingering panic, which he worked off by feverishly tearing the room apart in search of surveillance. Not that he necessarily knew what surveillance might look like, especially not in the dark of the night, but still.
And now it was dawn, and here he was, in the middle of a completely trashed hotel room serving as a prison. He’d never trashed a room this badly before, at least not on purpose. He felt an odd sense of accomplishment before the desperation set in again.
Mér er ofboðið, maybe the best way to smoke out his watchers was to go calling for them.
He flung open the door (they didn’t lock him in? He should’ve tried the door earlier) and stuck his head out.
“Hello? Anyone?” And then, in the loudest voice he could manage at - well, it looked like it was the crack of dawn, but who knew - whatever hour this was - “Room service!”
her, an early bird - always up even before the sun could join the clouds above. doesn't matter where or what's she done the night prior, you can bet calla would be up early enough. this morning was no exception, emerald hues open up to a quiet room, numerous items and trinkets of personal use scattered around it that she's been planning to put back in place before it gets messier. silences stretches on, and she gets up thinking of all the tasks she must do today, and with this, of course came the fact that she has now been assigned a royal to watch over.
she was more than ready by then, clean and more eager to take the rest of the day / having completed a few minor errands before she could move onto bigger ones. the pirate makes her way out of the villa, a moment to let the ambiance sink in the gentle swaying of the palms at shore, the seagulls gently lulling everybody that could hear soft yet determined steps lead the way through the silvery vapor that invades so early, the main building is her goal.
perhaps it is in her curious self to be doing this on her own accord, no more than that. a way to somehow get to know who she'll be dealing with should disaster hit. calla is known for her gentle nature, yet she will be direct and firm when it comes to work.
once the goal is reached, she directs to the room she's been told she would find ragnar. much to her dismay, there is a frosty breath that escapes past the chapped line of her lips at the sight of him yelling and screaming, stops come to a dry halt and the pirate is left standing with a hint of confusion and perhaps even a small amount of annoyance.
‘ hey ! ’ the word comes out effortlessly, not daring to yell back but rather loud for the prince to hear the authority in her voice. she stands still, eyes locked on the male in front of her as brows knit into a sharp line ‘ what the hell do you think you are doing? ’
