Room 420, Saturday morning

[revengenotebook]

Paris bolted upright from his bed and reached for the weapon he absolutely wasn't wearing.

"Where am I?" he demanded in a British accent that totally made sense for a guy from Troy shhhhhhh, it did. Shhhhh. "What foul sorcery brought me here?"

It was probably Achilles' fault. Most things were.

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!"

Sorry, entire rest of the dorm.

"KRAKEN!"

Not even close, Paris.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHKRAKEN?" Sidon repeated, with every bit as much energy and volume.

Yup. So, so sorry, entire rest of the dorm.

He laughed, opening his arms in a welcoming sort of gesture. "What an incredible name! Vivacious, by its very nature! And I cannot help but admire the pure enthusiasm in which you express it!"

Pure enthusiasm? Mild terror? Same difference!

[revengenotebook]

Paris didn't look at all appeased by the...weirdly friendly vibe this huge creature was exuding.

"What do you want of me?" he demanded.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Why, friendship, of course!" Sidon answered brightly, because the weirdly friendly vibe clearly wasn't weirdly friendly enough. "And camaraderie! And...I suppose...to also discover, if I may be sincerely," his hand went to his chest to show just how sincere he was, "honest with you, Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukraken, exactly....er...what you're doing in my room? Are you a guest of Paris'? I trust you have seen her this morning? I suppose I should have informed her that I was finally returning this morning; that's a terrible slight of decorum on my part, I'm afraid, and I apologize if it has caught you a bit off guard or by surprise."

[revengenotebook]

Paris looked even more confused (even past his resting expression of 'I have no idea of what's going on.') "I am the only Paris I have seen in this room, and I have no knowledge of what I am doing here."

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"The...only Paris?" Sidon asked, gaining a confused expression of his own; it was always interesting, how he managed to appear to be furrowing a brow when he actually had no real brow to be furrowed, and he stroked his chin thoughtfully. "No sign of a young woman, about this tall, blonde hair, usually wearing a very serious and determined look upon her face? And you have no knowledge of what you are doing here?"

Well, then, this was quite an intriguing mystery to be coming home to! The island was known for its bizarre little quirks, but this one seemed quite a bit of a headscratcher!

"How very fascinating!"

[revengenotebook]

Fascinating, terrifying: same thing, right?

"I'm glad you find it so," Paris replied a little huffily, then remembered just what sort of...entity...he was addressing and found some self-preservation for once in his life. "Don't eat me."

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Eat you?" Really, it was actually kind of surprising that Sidon didn't hear that more often; a few times, sure, but not nearly enough that the novelty of such a request had been worn down. He laughed again, pumped his fist for extra emphasis with another winning smile, you know, one of the ones to show off all his sharp, pointy teeth that he considered to be the utmost display of friendliness and nothing more. "Perish the thought! I assure you, I have no palate for human flesh. You are quite safe from the prospect of consumption, unless it turns out that you are actually quite secretly fish or pizza in a very clever disguise! At which point, I would be far too impressed by your phenominal deception to consider eating you. After all, there are plenty more fish in the sea."

Which was kind of an awkward spot to put one more of those winning smiles, Sidon, but, hey, you do you.

[revengenotebook]

"...what's a pizza?" Paris asked, frowning and seizing on the unfamiliar word rather than declaring himself to not be a fish, which seemed very obvious.

Even for him.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Oh!" said Sidon, positively beaming with delight for the opportunity to divulge knowledge on such an incredible thing. "Why, pizza is this absolutely wonderful local,"--by local, he meant Earth, of course--"delicacy that consists of a flattened bread topped with a tomato sauce, cheese, and a boundless plethora of other things! Perhaps we may venture out into the town to one of the many fine dining establishments that serve such a dish, or we may even have one delivered right to this very door if you prefer! Either way, you simple must try it, it is marvelous!"

[revengenotebook]

"It doesn't sound all that bad," Paris allowed.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Excellent, then!" said Sidon with another excited pump of his fist and an open-armed gesture. "I will order us some! Or, if you prefer, we can trek out to see some of this fair island. It's much nicer this time of year, as the weather starts to warm, and I've been away for well over a week, it'll be good to get out again! There is an awful lot to be said about the convenience of delivery, though, and they always show up with significantly more than you order!"

[revengenotebook]

"Perhaps a walk later," Paris said. "I am not feeling quite myself right now."

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"Well, yes, of course," said Sidon with incredibly enthusiastic understanding. "And it's still quite early, besides. But whenever you do feel up to the journey, I assure you, I will be honored to be your guide! And if there's anything else you may need in the meantime, please, do no hesitate to ask!"

He was, if anything, an incredibly helpful not-Kraken.

[revengenotebook]

"I will, my fine...friend," Paris settled on. "What was your name again?"

He'd forgotten to ask with all of the panic and yelling.

[in_sidon_we_trust]

You mean...Sidon got to do his introduction again?

Oh, he liked you, Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughkraken! Or...possibly...he went by Paris, as well, it sounded like? Perhaps he should go with that; it rolled a bit easier off the tounge than Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughkraken.

"I am Sidon!" he offered, brightly, going in for another pump of his fist, another brilliant, dazzling, oh-so-toothy smile. "The Zora Prince, of course!"

[revengenotebook]

"I am a prince too!" Paris said, smiling. "I'm a Prince of Troy."
