* Honestly, it was all a big misunderstanding.
He was new here. Quite new. He barely knew anyone, had only just started to get to know his roommate, couldn’t name more than two places on the mainland, and definitely didn’t know which places he should not stick his nose into.
So in a way, it made sense that he’d end up cornered at knife point in a seedy part of town.
They’d have to do more than threaten him in order to get him to feel even a pinch of fear, but he knew this was bad. He chatted lightly, played dumb, did what he could in order to convince them that he was no threat, but these goons seemed a little too... stupid to get the message. Aggressiveness and lack of intellect were never a good combination.
Jade eyes scanned past the three men, looked over to the entrance of the alley. He had to think of something else... and then something else walks by. The gears turn and he grins before giving the stranger a too-friendly call.
“Hey, didn’t expect to see you around here, how’ve you been?” The confusion his words cause lets him slip by the thugs, steps brisk as he approaches the other like a long known friend. “Sorry for calling you to a crummy place like this. Let’s go somewhere else, okay?” He points with his thumb and hopes the look in his eyes screams ‘PLAY ALONG’ hard enough for her to understand. ✧ @prosarmozo(sc.)
