[hythlodaeus]

[And yet Hythlodaeus hasn't met this facet of Solus' life yet.]

Ah, my thanks.

[He takes a bite out of the apple that is so big that he definitely gets some core, but doesn't seem to notice or care. Crumch. They almost look like they could be related, he locks his gaze with Estinien's, feeling endlessly curious.]

What would your name be, kind stranger? [He rights his posture. A foot shorter isn't so bad. It's actually quite remarkable to him. Look at these tall white haired guys standing together. They garner stares.]

[stardiving]

[Well, he does tend to wander off into the woods and wilds for extended periods of time. It's what he's supposed to be doing, and also he prefers it to the city, so win all around.

Oops, he wasn't quick enough to walk away before becoming ensnared in the nets of societal convention. Shoot.]

Estinien.

[While he hadn't just walked away, ignoring the invitation to conversation, he's...also not giving more than that. Well, he gets half points for effort.]

[hythlodaeus]

Estinien. What a nice name. I’m Hythlodaeus... you really don’t see too many others our height around here, do you?

[ It’s ok, Estinien. He can prattle for them both.]

I suppose I forgot to ask my friend for a little money for the day... Can I really be blamed, though? Currency is such a poor system. [They absolutely did not want to hear this at the shops. Everyone was in such a rush around here. ]

Oh! Say, do you know your way around the city? My friend works at this one building around here...

[stardiving]

[Oh by the Fury, there's two of them.]

If you're unused to it, certainly.

[Once he got the conversion rate down it was fine, but he comes from a society with money and not a utopia where you can make things by thinking about it.]

Passably well. Which is it?

[hythlodaeus]

It is quite the remarkable landmark at least: The Radio Tower.

[Tropius could totally lead him but Hythlodaeus was here to talk to people and make friends, dammit.]

My friend’s name is Solus. [ He commended himself for saying the right name aloud. ]

[stardiving]

[He nods.]

I know it.

[And...there's the reason why. Estinien just...peers up at him, as if amazed that Solus has anyone that would genuinely call him a friend. Also does this mean he's off the hook for providing 100% of Solus's vaguely positive social interaction? If so, great.]

And I know him.

[Wow, Solus hasn't mentioned him at all, rude.]

[hythlodaeus]

[Pot and kettle, huh, Estinien? How many times do you think Aymeric got the same line of questioning?]

Ohhh, you're that Estinien. Well! Very good to meet you! Thank you for caring for my dear friend... He can be a bit moody at times, so I appreciate your patience.

Well! It should be no trouble for you to bring me to him!

[stardiving]

[Joke's on Aymeric, until recently he was technically Estinien's boss.]

I've not noticed.

[He is...entirely being sarcastic, he very much has noticed, but hey. He can also be moody, not that he's admitting to that.]

I suppose not. Tis this way.

[Y'know. The big ol tower that's visible from almost every point in town. Ah well.]

[hythlodaeus]

Fufufu...

[There comes his odd laugh, pleased as his is with this arrangement. Hey look, Hythlodaeus doesn’t mind asking for help even when he doesn’t need it. This was a great opportunity to glean a little information. ]

If you don’t mind my asking, how would you describe the relationship between you two?

[stardiving]

[Well, there you go then.

How Estinien would describe their relationship is...odd. He never expected Solus to insist on keeping track of him as often as the man did, and he'd said that he actually liked speaking with him, which is still bizarre.]

Complicated, I suppose.

[Estinien shrugs. He doesn't have many other words to describe it.]

He is your friend, as you say--are you of our world as well?
