No surprise that he knew "her". He knew Ada Wong, but not this one, and it was clear on his very brief confusion that he did. Of course he did. Carla had planted an index finger in the business of her other self to start tracing where her clandestine connections went. In case this was an elaborate ruse with very real costs to it, she wanted to find the excuses to stab her other self in the back first.

All's fair.

She did not recognize him visually, but there were samples around this little hidey hole with his name on it. Luis Sera. Dr. Navarro.

"Oh, it's nothing, Luis. Go like this."

Carla mimed swiping something off her cheek where his stubble would be, her body language shifting to a better posture, a more cool, easy smile. He's too nervous.

Contact one of Ada Wong: it seems he was a researcher of some kind.

"They say there's been a Plaga outbreak in the States. Silo, Texas. Heard anything about it?"

None of what he had to say at the moment wouldn't be pure piss and vinegar, and it would be disproportionate by leaps and bounds to accuse the guy of anything. They didn't know each other by anything but stage performances in someone else's machinations.

He had a pretty obvious "annoyed" expression as a person, the problem being that most of the things he tended to get annoyed at were the things constantly happening. His forehead creased in the "annoyed" look with age. Good thing he was a easy, if melancholy, smiler. Leon looked at a very grey, very much slower moving Luis, annoyed, and wiped rainwater off his jacket.

Sixteen years.

"Business as usual, huh?"

He sighed, releasing some of the tension in his jaw.

"I don't think there's anything that you could tell me that I don't already know, but this beast is your Eraserhead."

This day was just full of surprises.

"-- You remember anything about Spain? That machine got the bug off my spine. Sure as hell killed it, but the aftermath is still there. I've had everyone with a doctorate looking at my bones and scans."

He's not technically infected either.

"Ada said you were alive, so here I am."

examine: Luis but specifically during the events of re4

It's Don Quixote, or so he says. He moves like a weasel with confidence, and has some pretty insane ideas that somehow work out despite literally any circumstances. If anybody has truly cartoon character luck, it's Luis Serra Navarro. Who the heck runs laps through mines with wild abandon to find dynamite that might not be there?

And who else would have these half baked ideas that for no reason seem to always work out in their favor?

Luis thumps a Ganado's head in with his pipe and whoops with victory, and gives you a wink.

Wait, what?

"Better calm down and actually get serious, Luis. Ashley's in danger."

"Right you are!"

You roll your eyes and follow a few paces behind.

Press "A" to examine.

Geez, calling him already?

"It's your running refrigerator. You should go catch that," he sighs, pulling the earpiece from his coat pocket and perching it on his ear to better hear the call.

The low thump of the club playlist carries through the metal balcony he sat on. Palm Springs was in full swing tonight.

"Looks like your work's on the move."

Leon's phone buzzes a couple times.

( txt: leon ) hey. is the offer for a drink still open?

( txt: leon ) thought we could use the time to catch up.

(txt): yep.

(txt): thought you'd never ask.

He also hasn't been this side of the States or anywhere remotely nearby to cash out that offer. It was a busy time of year for bad guys, it seemed.

"So, you and the....other you are on decent terms now?"

He's not looking at Ada, too busy looking through the eyepieces of a microscope as he examines a culture of Plagas cells beneath it.

"She showed up here not long ago, before the fiasco in Silo. So she knows where I live."

"As decent as sisters can be," she chirps.

She didn't know how to have a sibling, but from everything she picked up from Harper and other media, it could be an incredibly close bond, or outright homicidal.

'Sister' seemed to fit the bill the best.

"We've got an arrangement. I'm helping her, she's helping me. I hope you were on your best behavior, Luis."

She raises an eyebrow at his antics. Scanning him up and down as she reached out to take the lighter from him with a small smirk, lighting the cigarette dangling from her mouth before taking a second to look it over.

"Quite the gorgeous piece, looks custom made." She shrugs, noting the initials on the back of it before handing it back to him.

L.S.? Unique... The 'senorita' comment has her raising an eyebrow, though.

"Yeah, I know." She hums, taking a long drag of the cigarette before walking over to the nearest window to lean against the wall, and rest her hand on the sill. "Seen plenty of action by now where it's saved me, but im trying to stop this bad habit at the same time. It's a tightrope act for sure." She chuckles, shrugging once.

"Haven't seen you around this space before. You don't look like DSO either..."

Wait-

"Actually... Didn't I see you in the Yukon?"

now he has to ask luis if there were worms in his eyes.
