Who: Zadkiel Thrush and Ganesh Surendar
When: Friday, May 21, 2096, evening
Where: Anhalt Building
What: Zadkiel has been avoiding social interaction, but Ganesh won't let him.
Status: Closed, Complete

After the disastrous meeting with Gabe on Monday, Zadkiel had mostly been avoiding everyone in the house. He got up early to go to work, and came home late. When he was in the house, he stayed in his room. The last thing he wanted was to upset or offend anyone else, and it wasn't as if he wasn't used to feeling isolated from the people who surrounded him.

In a way, this self-imposed exile felt more like home than anything had since he'd arrived in Seattle.

	"Knock," Ganesh said although he didn't bother with it, tapping at the door with a toe. His arms were too busy wrapping themselves around a battered brown box, thumbnails digging into the frayed cardboard. The tap seemed ineffective so he pushed into the door a little with his hip. "Could you open the door? I'm about to drop this on my bloody foot." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Zadkiel got up and opened the door. He wasn't sure why Ganesh (he recognized him by his accent) needed to bring a box into his room, but it would be rude to tell him to go away. He stepped aside to let him in, frowning with confusion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Don't frown at me like that." He gingerly set the box down, releasing it with a sigh. "I was about to drop it. I didn't know whose room this was." Ganesh smiled at him, then said, "Anyhow. Here."

He reached in the box, digging around from one thing to the next until he found a magnetic hammer and offered it. "Have this. It's a welcome gift. If you push the button in the bottom, it magnetizes. You can pull all the nails out of the walls easily."

It was a little useless, Ganesh was prepared to admit, but there wasn't much else in the box that seemed quite as handy for someone who didn't appear to think much of technology. That was, if he thought of it at all. His eyes were openly curious as they looked around, surprised at a space that had nothing in it of the present.

	"Why would I want to remove the nails from the walls?" Zadkiel asked. "Still, a hammer is a useful thing to have. Thank you." He tried to smile, since most people expected it. It felt awkward on his face and quickly slipped away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you hung something and decided you didn't want it anymore. Like say, a photograph of someone who did you wrong later on," the other man said, glancing around. "Unless you're the type who prefers darts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don't have any pictures," he said. It wasn't exactly true. He had one, but he kept it safely tucked away where no one could see it and ask questions he would have to lie to answer.

He loved pictures, but he hadn't been able to grab his camera when he left. One of his younger siblings had borrowed it (without asking) and so he hadn't been able to find it when he'd run. He would have liked to have been able to capture some of the things he'd encountered since arriving in Seattle.

	"You do have the whole Swedish minimalism decor scheme down," Ganesh agreed. "Too bad. This room could use a little something." Like a vidscreen, he thought. Or a computer. Or a phone. Or even paint. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm used to sharing a room," Zadkiel said. "Four people in one space tends to have enough clutter involved that you don't worry about decorating." And there wasn't anything to decorate with, but that was beside the point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm used to having someone else on the decorating," Ganesh commented. "Ever since I moved out of my ex's house, my places have been not much more than a collection of wires and spare parts. But I do like photographs."

Tilting his head, he dug in the box again, pulling out a small picture frame. His fingers pressed buttons, resetting and deleting the images within as he talked, moving as quickly as his mouth.

"You shared with four people? Bloody rough, that. I've been fortunate as far as space is concerned or perhaps not." He set the frame down on Zadkiel's dresser. "There's something to be said for living with other people. It's lonely when all you've got is the buzz of a computer monitor and those barely even do that, anymore." He tapped the frame. "There. Upload your pictures in and you'll have something to make it a bit more homey."

	"Why don't you milk sheep? The height?" Ganesh realized that he actually had no clue of how farming actually worked. As for the countryside, he'd driven through it twice but from the ease with which Zadkiel spoke, that didn't count for much. He added, "I've never even been outside of the cities here. Have you?"

	It took a moment before Zadkiel answered. It was the first time anyone had actually asked him; and he wondered if perhaps it was something that wasn't normally discussed. "I can take away people's pain. Heal them. Usually not completely, but enough." He looked almost ready to say more, but stayed quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
