Hey guys, mom send over some snacks, and honestly? It's waaaaay too much for me to eat before it'd go bad, so gonna share the bounty.

So who likes baklava or maamoul?

They'll claim it, but everyone knows it's from Istanbul.

[Because Therion's not biased.]

[conquerorofwaves]

Ha!

See what I mean? Honestly, can't say where my family will claim it's from - Mom does it Armenian style, sometimes adding Rosewater Iranian-style if the stuff's not too much.

[bolderfell]

Where are you from, actually?

[conquerorofwaves]

Its kind of nebulous about Jordan-Saudi Arabia border - little more into the Saudi side, Dad's been about everywhere before and was the one who introduced us to the different types.

[bolderfell]

I see. And then you moved to the U.S., right?

[conquerorofwaves]

Yep, Los Angeles - Uncle from my mom's side was already there.

[bolderfell]

Must've been one hell of an adjustment.

[conquerorofwaves]

Absolutely, it was a rough few years going from a village too small to be found on a map to that.

[bolderfell]

Did you know the language ahead of time?

[conquerorofwaves]

A little bit, but I was in an ESL class for most of elementary school.

[bolderfell]

Yikes. New kid, new place, new language. Looks like you took well to it, though.

[conquerorofwaves]

Yeah it was pretty rough, but thankfully I got a knack for languages, and the neighborhood I'm in had a high immigrant population - so the school's well-equipped.

[bolderfell]

And then you came here?

[After all that work?]

[conquerorofwaves]

Given the choice - heard the magic schools in England are full of snotty assholes - I'm not 100% human - and I pick up languages pretty easily now.

This seems like the best place to stay for what I need.

[bolderfell]

Really? There's all types here, I guess, but the road we're taking's not exactly a cakewalk.

[conquerorofwaves]

Trust me, I know it's not the Magical World of Harris Patterson.

[bolderfell]

Then whatever you're staying for must be that important.

[conquerorofwaves]

There's someone I'm looking for, place like this is my best option for leads.

[bolderfell]

I see.

Tried asking any of the seers yet?

[conquerorofwaves]

Yeah, least I know he's still alive, but old trails are hard to narrow down.

[bolderfell]

Guess if this is the place you came for leads, he'd have to be uncommonly difficult to track. Anything to do with the Outlands? I could see that complicating things.

[conquerorofwaves]

[A few minutes pass before he replies]

It's my father - he's a Djinn. Outlands or here, whoever has him is not going to make it easy for anyone else to find him.

[bolderfell]

[Ah. Well, that's another thing Therion didn't know was real, but at this point, he's not surprised. At least he knows what Djinn are.]

You think he's held captive.

[conquerorofwaves]

Yes

[bolderfell]

Where was he last seen?
