I admit I was a little concerned when the stranger turned out to be Spanish, fearing that I hadn’t pushed the French setting enough, but this seems to follow my idea fairly closely. Nice addition. Where should we go from here?

I completely understand the concern; as great as unsolicited collaboration is, one can’t help but have a little reservation. The French setting was definitely clear, between location references and the tags; I just felt like making this fella Spanish because I feel more comfortable with Spanish. Don’t get me wrong, nothing against Frenchiness, I just don’t know much about it.

As to where this goes, I would suggest that this lovely Patrice uncover the source of this cry… and perhaps the further identity of this sombra española (hint: what’s the title of this bit? (; ). But, as you started this, pretty much wherever you take it is fine by me.
