So-- it's Desmond. Gimme a call back when you get this. Just want to check up on how you're doing.
[ Hopefully you haven't starved to death or something, man. ]

[Look, Desmond, he's learned how to make phone calls!]
-esmond? I wonder how I know if it is connected...?

[ Connor how in the world do you even manage? At least Desmond picks up pretty quick. In the middle of doing dishes, at that. Hooray bluetooth! ]
Relax, it's connected.
Relax, it's connected.
[He's not managing, really. That's how.]
Ah. You left me a message. The phone said so.
[That is definitely a fire that can be heard.]

[ ...well, you're alive! That count's, right? Er, right?
Regardless, Desmond half chuckles. Yes, the phone did, indeed, tell him so. Granted, the sound of crackling does make him wonder. ]
Did I catch you at a bad time? You out camping?
[ What? That's a perfectly reasonable assumption, okay. ]

No, not camping. I am in my assigned rooms. I could not make the stove work, so I have improvised.
[That's not ominous, right?]
There is something called a 'zoo' here, and I did not want to camp somewhere that the animals must not be harmed.

Did you just say "assigned rooms" and "improvised"?
Yes. I was hungry, and there is food in the cold box, but it required cooking. I cannot operate the stove, it will not become hot. So I needed a fire to cook with.
[Duh.]
[Duh.]
this is gonna be forever his "connor what did you do NOW" face

[ Desmond immediately turns off the water. That makes him a little paranoid. Of course he should have made sure at least someone had taught Connor how to use anything. Also: "cold box". This is not the 1800's, pal. ]
Okay, I'm going to take the whole place not going up in flames as a good sign, but I think I'm going to have to teach you a thing or two about how to even life.
How in the world did you even manage that?

I know to do something as simple as start a fire safely, Desmond.
[In fact, he's quite indignant that Desmond might think otherwise.]
I know how to live on my own, in a forest, at Homestead, I just cannot make these damn devices work!
[He's not sleeping or eating well and it's getting to him.]

[ Okay, at least Desmond doesn't laugh. Out loud. ]
All aright, all right, okay-- [ It's okay, dude, honest. ] Maybe I should... show you how a lot of this works?

[Connor huffs loudly and gives a low growl, which might be warning Desmond not to poke fun at him or might be outright frustration at the situation.]
... would you? I tried to follow the instructions on the phone but they are not helping.

[ --oh. Okay, yeah, no poking the bear when he's mad. That would be a bad move. ]
Yeah. Yeah, no problem. That... might take a little bit. There's a lot of ground to cover. For now, if you want, you can crash on my couch.
[ If Connor would even fit, honestly. Desmond assumes that this is gonna take a while. ]

... I know you do not mean that literally, but I have no idea what you mean with that. Crash on your couch?
[What is a couch? What does crash mean in this context? Help, Desmond, you do not make sense.]
[What is a couch? What does crash mean in this context? Help, Desmond, you do not make sense.]
[ Oh, god, this just got simultaneously worse and better. There's a small moment in which Desmond has to sit and think on how to put this. C'mon, man, you took a crash course on how to get throw 15th centuring Italy, this should be a piece of cake.
...yeah no. ]
It means you can come and stay with me for a while.
[ Considering there is a contained fire on the stove.
That it's part of the stove.
What has life become? ]
...yeah no. ]

[Connor silently considers this for a while. He treats the phone much as he would conversation, which means long silences while he contemplates answers.]
Is there space for me to sleep? I have my bedroll, but I do prefer a bed to it.

... like a masquerade ball?
[Sorry, Dick. Costume parties didn't come in until the mid 1800's.]

Something to do. People love being entertained.
[He doesn't like parties at all, honestly. And he doesn't do the playboy persona anywhere near as well as Bruce, but he's also been to one or two unavoidable shindigs in his time. This may as well be one of them.]

They dress in costumes and go and party.
[Connor clearly thinks this is lunacy. Are you really going to participate in the lunacy, Dick? Or make him do it?]
