[The video cuts in to a slightly tense-looking, but relatively composed teenager in medieval armor.]

- am I doing this right? I confess I've never seen magic quite like this in nature. It must be remarkably convenient, though…!

I -

[He pauses for half a second. He's not sure if anyone from his homeland is here, but depending on who is, it could make life quite a bit more complicated if the wrong people were here and knew about him. So while he was about to give his name, he quickly changes gears to -]

- would not wish to leave this land in need, if it truly requires our help, but nor can I afford to tarry here long, when my own homeland is still in grave danger and my help is needed there. I would like to know exactly what is expected of us, as the letter was not...particularly specific. The more we know, the sooner we can fulfill this duty, and I can hardly be the only one here who is needed elsewhere.

[Of all the faces to see here! Certainly, the second Celice sees him, he can't help but feel a sense of relief at seeing not only someone he's familiar with, but his cousin at that. But if Leaf is here... He really had hoped the others would be left alone, back in Jugdral.

In any case, he can't just sit there staring at the feed forever.]

Prince Leaf!

[And most of the tension rather obviously drains out of Leaf's posture. If his cousin is here, and okay, then surely everything will work out. Somehow.]

Lord Celice! I hadn't realized...is anyone else here?

[A moment and he finally gets over his shock, smiling now. Even knowing already the answer to his question, the whole situation seems so much... easier now.]

No, I'm afraid not. You're the first I've seen here from Jugdral. Until now, I'd thought I was the only one here.

Until now...

How long have you been here?

About three weeks in all. I...

[Oh, yes, he'd spoken to someone about time passing once, hadn't he?] ...How long has it been in Jugdral?

... It's a convenient magic, but sometimes a little difficult to use for those who do not normally wield it.

[He's blinking at you a little in confusion, because it's almost as though...]

If I may ask, when did you arrive in Asgard?

I've only just arrived.

Is...something wrong, sir?

[He tries to sound reassuring.]

There's nothing wrong, and please call me Allen.

It's simply that... it's been some time since the group of Travellers I came with arrived in this city -- I did not think more would be brought.

How many people have they brought here? Do you know?

[He's quiet for a moment in thought.]

If you go by the number of people in the Houses I've seen, and expand that to all of the known Houses... It's possible the Traveller population is in the hundreds. I do not know how many arrived with you.

That depends on what you mean by convenient. [Hmph.] It's done me more harm that good already.

Are you a knight?

Were communication made this easy in my own kingdom, I can only imagine that the war might be going very differently.

I am the prince of Lenster, sir.

Ah- I suppose that title matters little right now, but nonetheless I apologize for my rudeness. [Not that he was really very rude, but a prince ought to be respected.]

It would be useful in theory, but you'd likely end up bombarded with things you'd rather not here.

I took no offense.

It...does seem to see quite a bit of use, but it's an impressive piece of work, regardless.

I can agree with that, but it's a pity the people of this city aren't able to use their abilities to create things like this for better purposes.

[If it looks like a knight and sounds like a knight then it's probably a knight. A little surreal honestly, which is odd to say considering all the different sorts of people Barnaby's met thus-far in Asgard. Still, it's a bit odd to attempt to speak to someone who's just about the closest equivalent to a hero, at least depending on this person's morals and what he's fighting for and such.]

I'm afraid that as much as your presence is needed where you're from, leaving here proves to be rather difficult if not impossible as of yet.

That is unfortunate.

"As of yet," though - am I right in assuming that people are still looking for an out?

It is though there's very little that can be changed about it. --I believe as long as people are being brought here against their will then there will be a reaction toward finding a way to return where they belong. However no one really knows how to do so right now.

Is there any organization at all to these efforts, or are most pursuing it independently?

I believe currently it's more-so an independent effort. From what I know there's more of a small movement toward gather a group of people to not just defend the locals but all of us specifically. Something with laws and regulations; merely anything to keep the peace during a time like this.

Nah, this ain't magic.

[ The video feed trembles as he shakes his bracelet as a means of gesturing to it. ]

It's technology. There are other aspects about this place that I might call magic, though.

[ He straightens to address the more important matter. ]

You're definitely not the only person here with something going on back home, but you're outta luck, pal. Most of us have been here together for three weeks already and trust me when I say, we haven't found a way home.

This is technology?

[You're blowing his mind, man. He's never seen anything more complex than a ballista!]

For someone like me, it's barely scraping the surface. Where I come from, this isn't all that unusual!

[ Wait until he sees a TV... ]

[...yeah, he hasn't even got words for that. A whole world full of things more impressive than this...!! He may need a moment.]

[ Uh oh, Jr. is wondering if he put this guy into shock or something. ]

You okay over there, pal?

[ He waves his hand up and down over the camera, as if to get Leaf's attention. ]
