[Ryan pouts frowns, obviously unsatisfied with that answer.]

That's as helpful as saying you're also not a goldfish.

[He writes it off as the stranger's form of sarcasm, because Ryan can smell those kinds of farces from miles away.]

I told you, you tell me. Only fair, right?

[It's not everyday he meets unusual people in the "real world"; often only when he's acting as Alanna's glorified errand boy does he meet those like him, and lately those individuals don't even live in the same dimension. He feels special, finding someone on his own accord.]

[... And uncharacteristically...]




Golem.

[... Oren returns the favor.

He will be turning around to walk towards the wavy haired woman though. That's more than enough sharing even for him.]

[Golem? Ryan's never met a golem before. He was pretty sure they were supposed to be made of stone, too, not look like tall, beautiful men.

He's opening his mouth to ask another question, but suddenly the golem-man has already turned around and beginning to walk off.

He won't chase him this time, but he'll at least call out:]

Cool, you got a name, golem guy?

[So loud and uncaring of who might hear....]

[oren]

... Maybe next time.

[And god knows when that will be? But Oren's lived long enough to know that luck has it's way of working around uncertainties.]

[stripedsoul]

[What, no name? Ryan can't be bothered to even be offended at that -- in fact, he just kind of laughs it off, shrugging. He gives a little half-wave, a lazy flick of the wrist, really.]

Next time, then.

[He wonders if there will even be a next time, but even if there isn't, at least he can say he's met a real-life golem. Alanna would probably just scoff at him for being so easily impressed, but he wouldn't care.

But for now, it's time to pillage more food trucks until he can't eat another bite.]
