Format: Voice

Might I — ngh — might I trouble someone for help?

[there's a soft crackle of what might be breath on the mic, and then the shifting of what sounds like bedsheets. the voice that ultimately speaks again is low and husky, fairly deep, but there's something boyish and hesitant to it. some of francel's words come out awkward and tense, as if he is in a great deal of pain, and struggling to get the words out.]

It's been... several bells since last I took a meal, by my count, and... I'm terribly hungry. The... the man with whom I share a residence is not like to be back for some time. Could I trouble someone to bring food to my doorstep?

[really, even he can't believe he's asking for this.]

I have little coin, but I would happily pay you for your time. Please, and blessings on you.

[Newt offers the man a polite smile as he takes a step inside and looks around a bit before turning his attention back to Francel. He takes note of how the other looks and their current state. Newt doesn't say anything about it though.]

You're more used to larger abodes? [A lot of the little townhomes of London were smaller and far from lavish. There were plenty of wizards and witches (purebloods of course) who lived in more extravagant homes.

Newt makes his way to the kitchen and places his bag on the counter.] Thank you for having me, of course. Let's see if we can't get something proper started so you can have a splendid meal. [Of course, his priority was to care for the other while he was here.]

[haillenarte]

Thank you for coming to me in a time of need.

[francel's voice is quiet as he closes the door behind newt, his lips curving briefly in a grateful but pained smile.]

As to your question... both yes and no, I suppose. As a child, I lived in a manor far more luxurious than this, but for the past five years I have lived in a humble cottage no larger than one of the rooms in this house. [a pause.] And you, if I might ask?

[Newt pulls out his wand to wave it before tucking it back into his sleeve. Ingredients and utensils start moving and floating about the kitchen as the man starts to prepare ingredients.

His magic is far from being the level it was once before, but he has regained at least some basics that he can start using it for his everyday.]

I lived out in the country where there was a lot of open space, really. My mom bred hippogryphs, so we needed space for them. [They definitely lived in a larger space because of that, but it was more humbling than anything.] I lived in an apartment on my own after, but it's been awhile since I've lived anywhere persay. I had been traveling for awhile now.
