Don't waste your worry on me [OPEN]
Who: Asra
When: Throughout the week
Where: Various locations
What: Wandering magician life - namely failing to do anything legally at all
Warnings: None at this point
i.
[Asra isn't terribly concerned about the promise of a reward, but helping someone find a lost pet seems like the right thing to do and offers a chance for exploring. Which is why he's hunting around the harbour, enjoying the smell of salt and water, reminded of the years he spent in similar situations growing up.]
Any luck, Faust?
[He doesn't appear to be talking to anyone else close by, but someone who wanders a bit closer may find a pale snake winding around their leg and hear a faint voice, almost like a whisper in their mind.]
(Found friend!)
ii.
[It's a warm day, and the sun overhead glints off of Asra's jewellery and sends rainbows dancing across the stone walls of the alleyway entrance that he's set up in. He's seated on a brightly coloured blanket at the entrance of the narrow gap, an assortment of trinkets, a few carved masks, and one or two packets of herbs spread out before him. His cards flash from hand to hand as he lazily shuffles them, the bright paints and bits of gold leaf catching the light. Faust curls about his chest and shoulders, her head resting on Asra's shoulder, although she looks up and flickers her tongue at any who stop by.
Sensing someone watching, Asra looks up and smiles, crooks his finger for them to come closer.] Interested in a reading? Or something--
[Before he can finish, there's a shout from nearby.] Oi! I already told you to move on!
[An annoyed looking guard starts towards them and, quick as a flash, Asra is up, the cards disappeared and the blanket gathered up around everything and tied rapidly into a makeshift bag.]
Come on! [Laughing, he grabs for the other's hand and starts running down the streets, seeming to enjoy the sound of chasing footsteps after them more than he probably should.]
iii.
[Maybe it's late, or maybe it's early. Or maybe it's even the middle of the day with the sun warm overhead. It doesn't seem to matter exactly what time it is or even the location, really. Much like a cat, Asra finds places to sleep whenever the mood takes him and it apparently has now.
He's found in various places; curled up out of the way in a huge coil of rope by the harbour, sprawled out under a tree in a park, stretched out on the warm stone surrounding a decorative fountain. Should he be sleeping somewhere more appropriate? Probably. Are you going to wake him up to tell him that though?
...well even if you don't, that guard who looks severely done with the magician's shit right now might.]

[Asra looks up at the sound of Faust in his mind and notices Paris standing there, looking confused.]
Faust, that's not what we were looking for.
no subject
[He turns the little smile up at Asra, still a bit unsure but at least happy to identify what's going on.] What were you looking for?
no subject
We're looking for a lost cat, actually. Not other people, Faust. No matter how much you like them.
no subject
[Though wait no he should have other questions first.] Did she talk to me? [Can snakes do that??]
no subject
I don't know... we could try asking her.
no subject
[It didn't sound like Asra was calling him out to start with, after all.]

[Asra sighs and Faust flickers her tongue at him, radiating concern.]
It stopped. I've been working on ways to get it back. Our teachers here told me it's not uncommon for witches to get their familiars to speak, so I tried it my own way.
no subject
[Paris looks down at Faust, reaching out tentatively to pat her back.] I'm... glad you can talk to her again. That seems like it would be hard.

Have you asked her?
no subject
[A lot of them just don't feel like it.]
no subject
How is she taking to being here? It's not affecting her too badly, is it?
no subject
She doesn't seem to be hurt by being here, but... I don't know what it's doing back home. I'm sure she's worried about it.
no subject
Does her being here cause problems where you're both from?
no subject
[But she is essentially a representative of a species of ray, so.]
no subject
no subject
[They do seem to be doing fine themselves; it's just a mystery what's happening back home in their absence.] Um-- how are you and Faust doing...?
no subject
We're used to getting by wherever we find ourselves. So long as we have each other, we'll always be alright.
