✧*:･ﾟ| A catch of a familiar face sitting at a cafe table. Strange, he knew not where that face came from. Not a colleague of his and MOST IMPORTANTLY, not one of the beasts in human skin who kept him captive. A shaky hand swipes through his list of contacts on his phone, a hasty twitching of his digits — — Siebren hates an unsolved mystery!
JEAN - BAPTISTE Augustin. The name hits him.
EVERYTHING suddenly makes sense, puzzle pieces clicking together within the confines of his mind. The way he sits at his table, keeping a watchful eye, but barely noticed. A SHARP INTAKE of breath. The hunter and the hunted. But what if the hunter does not wish to hunt, but learn?
HE floats ( it can't be helped that he stands out so much; feet refuse to touch the floor ) and makes his way closer to the other individual. Siebren lacks subtlety, caution. He doesn't know the right thing to say, so he simply says what's on his mind. ❝Monsieur Augustin, I PRESUME?❞ Subtleties lost on the starchild as he makes his tone clear as a cloudless sky. A warning, albeit not a threat.
A wide sweep of a hand, fingers resting, splayed against the table between them. It has been a month of hanging in limbo, his former employers matter not in the slightest anymore. ❝My name is Siebren de Kuiper and I mean you NO HARM. I was told to apprehend you at sight, but Akande is not here to reinforce his orders.❞ Lashes flutter, a shake of his arm as he sinks into the chair. ❝I do not know if Doctor O'Deorain would say the same. I suggest keeping an eye out for her.❞
STRANGE, his loyalty rests on the side of the geneticist and yet his consciousness would not allow his tongue to lie about what and who he's seen on the island. Yet, something else spurns his interest; an unquenchable curiosity STRONGER than his quenchable loyalty. Just why did Baptiste leave?
A conversation with Genji Shimada sowed seeds of doubt in his ribcage, and now those seeds have begun to sprout. He feels vines CRAWL against his insides. Understanding, a desire to learn whether these vines are weeds or not.
