Excuse me, is this Cannae Spearfall?
[That is such a weird name to him, so he hopes he's pronouncing it right.]
My name is Alphonse Elric, and I've been assigned to help you settle in.
no subject
...On the other hand, it'd be nice to figure out where to get some real clothes. Okay. He can use this. Somewhere invisible, Vorrick is rubbing a temple, deciding how thick to lay it on. ]
This is Lord Spearfall.
[ It's not meant to be a correction, but he doesn't mind if it sounds like one. He's only ever heard Alphonse on humans before, and that's enough to make him wary. This whole ship is shorter-eared than he'd like. ]
I'd be, [ Uh. Shit. How do you sound cultured? ] Grateful for the assistance. You been here long?
no subject
Al hasn't spent time around the aristocracy really, the closest he has come to that was King Bradley, and that was a much more military based position than nobility. Besides, he turned out to be a homunculus, so...]
Um, no. Sorry, I guess that might not make me the best person to ask for help, but I'll do everything I can all the same.
[He clears his throat awkwardly.]
Is there anything you particularly want to ask, Lord Spearfall?
no subject
Well, if you could tell me where to get clothes that fit, I'd be real f — [ He catches himself, only barely. ] — Obliged. Think mine must've gotten mixed up, somehow.
Can I ask when you arrived?
no subject
It's a horrible twist of fate that he would be asked for something he has no idea how to get. Al has been casually pushing his own uniforms to the back of his closet, as they're all far too small for him and he doesn't want to use alchemy to make them fit. Mostly because a suit of armour wearing clothes looks stupid.]
Just about five weeks ago now, so not very long at all.
[Let's focus on that question, he can answer that.]
It means I'm still learning my way around and a lot of how things work here, and I'm afraid a tailor isn't something I've found. If, uh, if you need it done though, I might be able to modify the ones you have for you?
no subject
[ He doesn't bother to hide his disappointment, even as he mingles it with sympathy. Vorrick can mend a hole or stitch a seam, sure, but this is a little beyond his abilities. ]
Not that I don't trust you on it, just I figure it's not real fair to ask that on someone else so new to all this to take that on as well.
[ Fair has nothing to do with it, he just wants to work the guilt angle. ]
I mean, you sure they didn't mean to give you a buddy?
no subject
[James had seemed nice enough, but he also seemed a lot more risque than Al was comfortable dealing with on a regular basis.]
Really, I can handle this! It's no trouble at all, and I'd be glad to help. I am supposed to help you, after all.
[ooc: Sorry for the wait, I was out of town at a wedding.]
no subject
Well, it's a real damn kindness on you, that's for sure. [ He sounds far too pleased with himself, a cat with a canary. ] Maybe you can go and tell me where to drop this off, and we'll shake hands over it all. You can tell me some more about this pal of yours too.
no subject
[He's been here a while and he's still getting lost.]
Do you want to do it now? I have no duties for the rest of the day and I'd be happy to help you out while we have the time.
