Three; [video]
[Ramirez isn't much for video posts, or really anything related to the subject of social interaction. He prefers to stay in the background, gather his information from a more passive standpoint.
This, however, is a special occasion, and the video feed clicks on to show a very young-looking boy with a very well-honed sense of anger about him, if that angry frown on his face has anything to say about it. He almost seems to be trying to set the bracelet on fire by the sheer force of his glare.
He's not particularly expecting any actual answers beyond yet another trick of the gods, but damn it, he's pissed.]
Someone better have an explanation.
[...It sounds much less intimidating when the voice in question is not a deep bass baritone but rather the high, androgynous voice of a boy who has not quite reached puberty yet.]

Of course.]
Obviously.

[It is probably incredibly hard to take him seriously.]

FIGURES.
A much tinier Vyse can only stare at the bracelet, a rather wary look on his face. The last time he saw him was... mortifying, and this isn't exactly ideal either, but...
A Blue Rogue never backs down!!]
Oh. You too?
video
Wow.
One of the last people he wanted to see.]
Yes. Me too.
I'd ask if you'd come to gloat, but it looks like you don't have much to say on the matter.
video
Oh.
He frowns, even more unconvincing than usual, and crosses his arms. You are so rude, Ramirez!!]
This isn't any time to be gloating about this!
video
And...Ramirez's entire reason for being turned this young suddenly shows and he just narrows his eyes again, scowls right back, and snips-]
Talking sense now?
How surprising.
video
Never one to be left behind, Vyse's frown turns into a scowl of his own as he leans closer to the bracelet.]
What's that supposed to mean?! I haven't said anything else about this!
video
That does little to change a long history of you portraying an unbelievable lack of common sense.
video
Lack of common sense?! I haven't done anything like that!
video
Then yesterday was merely a figment of my imagination, was it?
video
H-hey! [A shake of his head, if that's even visible, with how close he is to the screen.] I didn't mean to do that!
video
Okay. He can most certainly fulfill that request. Ramirez breaks this tension by suddenly slamming his hands down on the surface in front of him with a loud bang!]
Then perhaps [You can probably just hear the venom oozing out of his voice] you should take the time to learn some self-control.
[He wouldn't normally rise to bait like this so easily but there's not much that's more infuriating then waking up to find yourself in a 12-year-old's body.]
video
But he jumps slightly at that slam, before going right back to scowling like it's going out of style.]
It had nothing to do with self-control! You just showed up at the wrong time!
[GOSH, don't you see it's really your fault, Ramirez!!!]
video.
R.. Ramirez? That can't be you..!
[ but it was, and she knew it was. She'd know the face of the boy she grew up with anywhere. ]
video.
Fina, he doesn't snap at. In fact he doesn't really say much of anything. Ramirez grows quiet and his entire demeanor seems to settle as he stares back at her through the video feed with an odd neutrality.]
video.
[ To be honest, it sounded as though Fina was talking to herself more to Ramirez; like she was viewing him through a glass exhibit at a zoo. ]
video.
[It never seemed to get any easier, talking to her. Not that he had any business attempting any sort of formality for the sake of old friends anymore; they were on different sides, she made that much clear when she requested Vyse and Aika on the feed.
Not that it would have mattered if they were. You were going to kill her, Ramirez, remember? She holds no importance any longer other than the crystal within her body.
Distance yourself. You're not that man you once were and familial bonds have long since been left behind.]
video.
[ Even though she knew she couldn't ever have the same bond she once had with Ramirez, she couldn't help but feel concern for him, no matter what. He was her friend - that would never change. She would always consider him her friend, and a close one at that, but..
things were complicated. And things had changed, apparently. ]

Yes, obviously. I see those gods still have nothing better to do than assert their authority.

video.
[ There's a little laugh. ]
I can't imagine there's much more of an explanation than that. At least, not that you're going to get. Why not enjoy it for now?
video.
No, I suppose I shouldn't ask for better here, should I? And I see nothing remotely enjoyable about this situation.
video.
Well, if you're the more mischievous type - there's always sucking up to people. What self-respecting adult can resist a cute kid with manners? So long as you're within the realm of possibility, that is. I doubt anyone'd be willing to buy you a stiff drink like this, but candy and the like might be doable.
video.
I don't like sweets.
