unfamiliar these streets of cracking asphalt, the walkways crumbling and more dirt now than cement. buildings are worser for wear, broken windows and leaking roofs. life here was dismal, a struggle. and here his son chose to take root. where exactly was what he was trying to find out. no address was left for him when ezra ran off.
for nearly an hour now he wandered without aim. any in his path rushing past with fear in their eyes. a magician in these parts?
"excuse me," he calls out in vain. "i am looking for a young man with dark hair. his name is ezra, have you seen him?" hurried past without answer, the commoners duck their heads and don't look back. "please, i just need a moment of your time."

Special delivery for a special customer. The Delacroix's café didn't always provide take out service, but this little old lady had earned a sweet spot in both her father and her hearts. Like clockwork, they took pastries to her every week. Adrien and she took turns, this week was hers. Lucky! Sophie smiled to herself, skipping a little, knowing the tea party which awaited her.
She hadn't gotten too far into the neighborhood when she heard a man asking about an 'ezra'. Curiously, Sophie crossed the street (looking both ways as though something might run her over, though the likelihood of that was laughable) and continued down the sidewalk on the same side as the man.
The folks he had attempted to ask rushed by without answer, whispering in hushed tones about 'what's a magician doing here?' as they passed her by. Puzzled, Sophie turned, following the retreating couple for a bit with her eyes.
But – she turned back to look at the man – he was just a person, wasn't he?
"Halloooooo!" She called out to him, waving her free hand above her head, the other carrying a basket of baked goodies. Sophie walked briskly toward him, hoping to cover the distance as quick as possible without looking rushed. "You were looking for someone?" Head cocked slightly to one side, she came to stop before him. A brown-haired girl of average height with expressive green eyes and an open face; emotions flit across her features.
Confusion. Curiosity. Joy. Her father had always teased her about being an open book.

such rotten a reception he’s received. not a soul offers him direction to his runaway child (although ezra was grown now and far from being a child). a sigh pushes past his lips, chest heaving. no wrongs had he committed against commoners. he risked life and limb for their safety, yet not even one could point him towards his son?
hope nearly lost, a shining light of human kindness restores his faith. wildly her hand waves to draw his attention, and she calls out loudly and cheerfully. to her he looks with uncertainty at first and then he softens to her.
“yes. my son moves to these parts, but he wouldn’t tell me his address. i want to see him.” a display of emotions is rampant on this bright eyed woman’s face. he watches with interest as they flit through and settle. “his name is ezra. do you know him?”

Sophie nods along, listening. "Ohhh, so he's naughty like Jean." She giggles, thinking of her little brother who always got embarrassed by his older sister's motherly attention. "Ezra..." She thinks. Does she know an Ezra? Sophie screws up her face in concentration, not wanting to not know anything. But she doesn't. "Um, maybe he's come to our cafe before? I'm so sorry, I don't know anyone by that name." And she certainly looks sorry too.
Wringing her hands together (still trying to rack her brain), she frets until she abruptly snatches a pastry from the basket looped over her arm and thrusts it out towards him. "Macaron?" Sophie treats him like a child, offering sweets when she cannot give him the answer he wishes to hear. Her intentions are so transparent it was as if she had spoken the words 'don't be sad' with the gesture. Big green eyes urge him to take it, threatening stubbornness if he declined.

“jean?” an assumption of a sibling surfaces in his mind. too young this woman was to have a child old enough to run off. no older than her early twenties she appeared, half his age most likely. “is that your brother?”
hopes raise at her repetition, his son’s name lifting off her tongue. but his heart falls to his stomach when she admits not knowing the name. finding his son will not be easy, though he knew that from the start. ezra was very much like the woman who raised him, resourceful. adopted, she wasn’t his mother biologically, yet so much alike they were.
“thank you anyways.” disappointment colors his voice, soft and slow coming. a bright colored macaron he takes from her, a smile curling to his lips. “thank you.”
