( kahlan is confronted, in this location, with a large number of things she has never seen before. technology, she's heard the word used, beyond anything she could possibly begin to understand. this new world is far stranger than first glance allowed her to see it to be, and it seems there are a great many things she doesn't understand. she sits, in an establishment that seems dedicated to serve its patrons beverages filled with richness and warmth, simply observing and attempting to allow shock to wear off. she keeps a cool head, of course, and offers no outward signs of distress to passers by... but she wishes, quite deeply, that zed or richard were here with her.

she's lost in thoughts, worries about the others, when the glint from his knife catches her eye. she lifts her head quickly, thinking for a moment that it's the glint of sun on richard's sword. her lips are open, his name half out of them, strode across the room toward the man with the similar build, when she realizes that it's not. the disappointment isn't written on her face, but perhaps in the release of breath and the slump of her shoulders. she then realizes that she may appear strange, frightening even, to the person in front of her. she allows her expression to form into a gentle hello, a faint smile. )

Strange, to carry something like that into a place that seems so calm, isn't it?

[After a few hours spent researching and getting nothing, Dean wasn't on his A game. He was frustrated, and itching for the release of something that he wouldn't try here. Not until he learned more. Not sex, since that probably wouldn't fly, but a good meal and some strong liquor.

He's in the middle of daydreaming about being home and at a local joint in some town they were working a gig in when he realizes there's someone looming over him. His eyes raise, away from the surface of the table and away from the screen. To a chick, if she could even be called that. Something about her demanded respect, even though he couldn't place it, and she looked like she'd walk right out of a magazine.

About to reply with something a little rude, his eyebrows lift when she starts talking and he realizes he might not be the only one uncomfortable and on edge.]

Sorry. I don't consider hostage situations calm. Guess you must've had your fair share.

[The last thing he means is to insult her but he's in a bad mood. Dean's been at this for a pretty long time and hasn't had any results. That, and an empty stomach weren't exactly a good mix. Not for him.]

{ she has her own skepticism, of course, her doubts about the safety of this entire venture. the whispers of war and strife are enough to put her on her highest guard, ready to confess a person at any given moment, if she needs to. she would rather avoid it, if she can, because it seems to her that everyone - not unlike this man here - in this place is in the same situation as her. all abducted from their homes for varying reasons, all chosen for varying reasons. it is finding these reasons that will take the most time. kahlan, luckily, seems to suddenly have a great deal of it. she detects his discomfort and simply meets his comment with a warm, reassuring smile. she seems to exude a blanket of calm, in fact. }

Hostage situation, it may be... But your fellow hostages certainly won't take to you easily if you appear so aggressive... And wouldn't it be better to make allies when presented with the option?

[mulletrock]

[So she has a point. Sure, he's on edge, but he can't do this alone. He's never been good at flying solo. Didn't like working without dad and now he can't work without Sam. Dean scrubs a hand over his face. The tightness of his jaw relaxes, and he wets his bottom lip with his tongue go over what he should say before opening his mouth. Dean doesn't have it in him to be long winded so he keeps it short.]

Sorry. It's been a long day.

[confessing]

There's little to apologize for. { kahlan is infinitely understanding. she even reaches forward and places a gentle, reassuring hand on his shoulder. } We are all under some measure of duress. { she then gestures to the seat next to him. } May I?

[mulletrock]

[Usually a little contact from a babe like her wouldn't bother Dean, but this time it does. Instead of making it obvious he keeps the rigidity out of his posture by pushing out a leg and using his foot to knock the chair back out for her.]

Be my guest.

[The last thing he's thinking about right now is getting laid. He'd save it for later, maybe after he got back home. Right now he wanted to find out if Sam was here and get to some safe ground. Then pool resources and get more information about the place.]
