It’s Rissa on the phone. It’s so late there, but for some wild stroke of luck she is still awake when his message pings on the other side of the Atlantic, and in a couple of minutes she is ringing him. He welcomes the excuse to seek quietude, winding his way through the guests, phone pressed to his chest until silence is found. He can hear his thoughts now, and the young woman’s dulcet voice on the line. He’s sorry he couldn’t call during the day; you see, everything had been a little hectic leading up to the big event. Of course, he shouldn’t worry — Seredith has recovered from her cough, and work abounds during the holidays, as usual. All running smoothly. Rissa asks about Al, then about the dog; Luc delivers and tells her he misses her. It’s time to head back to the party.

Both hesitant to disconnect, they weave down a ‘bye, take care, stay warm’ back-and-forth as Luc peels away from the wall and blindly turns the corner, coming within a hair of bumping into one of the guests. Startled, he drops his phone, which bounces off the man’s shoe. The call dies. Shit. “Sorry, didn’t see you—” He scrambles to pick up the device and promptly step aside, only getting a proper look at their face once he straightens back up. In an instance, Luc pales enough to blend into the muted backdrop of the wall, assaulted by the inexplicably strong sense that he knew them, he knew them, but how— oh, oh no. His immediate instinct would be to presume it was someone he had bound before, which would certainly explain the ghostly, slightly sickly feeling at the pit of his stomach (when one’s most horrendous memories have travelled through you…) but he’s been around long enough to recognise one of them when he sees them. And he’s seen enough.

“You, again.”

“Aye, again--!” Hands raised, he exclaims before he’s even the chance to get a good glance at his incidental speedbarrier, the deep-woven instinct to play along taking over well ahead of rhyme or reason; Let it be said he’s nothing if not a decent improviser at the drop of a phone. Having briskly stepped back and slightly around in much a mutually awkward dance (as you do), curiously amber eyes flick back up from where they’d trailed the path of the fallen device, landing rather on an unfamiliar face looking somehow even further dropped  than the object itself - and presenting a quite specific mixture of horrid shock which stikes him as reminiscent of someone who has just has spotted a ghost in the dark. Maybe they had. His own wave of recognition is not far behind.

Ah.

He knows this soul, if by any other name.

“Fancy running into you here, chief. Been around the block once more I see?”
