Wheremst?
Who: Altaïr ibn La-Aggravated and Maria Thorpe
What: Altaïr's missing roommate returns from the upsidedown
When: early October
Where: their hovel
Content Warnings: He's an Assassin! Years ago, he had a finger removed. Please see his permissions post for possible CWs that might come up.
Also, there are spoilers here.
Maria has been in the September event prompt which includes parallel worlds, violence, possible death, religious cults
She left no explanation. Altaïr tried different ways of contacting her, from known to new, and--nothing. He felt the same way he did in when he came back to the safe-house to find it aflame and not knowing if Maria was still trapped inside, escaped, or captured and taken somewhere else. This building surge of worry isn't how a stoic Assassin should be, but that was Al Mualim's teaching. Altaïr is adrift on new waters now.
As the days passed and the month changed over, the last sense taken from him returned. With it came a new irritability. He hardly notices, given he is already upset. He enjoys Maria's company. He had so few friends at home, and none besides her here. It's awkward suddenly navigating close quarters with just one other person instead a fortress full of Assassins, but they were cooperative enough to make a good team.
Altaïr returns after another bout of searching, tired and demoralized again. He silently slips into the (no longer) shared place he chooses to lay his head, the holes in the roof playing light across his robes. In a bittersweet way, he thinks of how they had been talking about relocating to one that would better stand up to cold weather--
"Maria?"
