[A video footage will begin to record, revealing a small pair of teeth chewing onto the screen, from the angle it was clear to take note that a white pup or fox might be behind it. At one point, the teeth will disappear to reveal a curious baby fox staring back at the screen, wondering on the reason behind his papa throwing out such a great toy. It will not be long until another pair of paws will pounce onto the bracelet, the screen goes black due to it. Yet, the video does not seize from recording, on the contrary, there will be noises on the background as two foxes argue over keeping the toy for themselves or returning the item to their father.

After a while, the bracelet will be thrown further from them, in the background the foxes were still arguing and play fighting, but there was something new on the sceen -- a man's figure sitting on the ground, their arms wrapped around their knees, as the figure uses the corner as a wall to keep himself from falling onto the ground. At first, it will be difficult to tell who the man was due to the dim lights, but it was clear it was Soushi on the screen. While the twin foxes fought in the background, Soushi will not move an inch and the video will continue to record him until Rem, the more responsible fox kit, grabs the bracelet and hurriedly returns it to him with Rom, the one from the beginning, begrudgedly following after his brother. Rem will place the bracelet next to Soushi before he places his front paws onto his knee and begins to bark (whoever can undestand fox speak would know).]

(Papa! Please. Put it back on.)

[Soushi will not show any sign of movement until Rem barks even loudly, with more energy.]

(FATHER!)

[The bark will grab his attention as he moves his attention to the tiny creature, then he will notice the bracelet as Rom uses his nose to return the item to his dad. The older man will take hold of the bracelet, but without even thinking about it, he will toss the item at the other side of the room, filled with anger. The bracelet will hit the wall and ground, and moments later Rem will grab the bracelet and quickly return it to his father for the second time. Rom will try to shake for his attention. Again, Soushi will grab the bracelet and throw it even harder and further away. One would ask from being thrown, if he will ever notice the bracelet was on, but it didn't seem like it. And for the third time, one of the fox twins will grab the bracelet and return it to Soushi, but this time both foxes will bark and whine.]

(Papa. The bracelet is on! Speak.)

[At the realization of the bracelet recording, Soushi will reach for it and give it a glance as he realized that it was on, but he did not show sign of surprise or even emotion. His gaze was darkened, lack of emotion; even though, his eyes are clearly red, he must have cried. It will not be long until the screen will blackened, only for everyone in the network to receive the following message soon after:]

Ririchiyo Shirakiin has returned home. She is no longer within Asgard's borders. I apologize for not have had the chance to inform those whom were her acquaintance beforehand. Everything came as a surprise, even for myself. I am sorry.

[And with that, he turns off the feed without another word.]

[OOC: I only wanted to let everyone know I will be slow in tagging, but I will try my best to answer everyone tonight!]

Yes. Myna birds are tiny birds. They are a rather gregarious, kind, and known as wonderful companions. Murai is his name. He has been keeping Ririchiyo-sama company ever since she was a young girl. [A short pause.] Before we met, Murai has been the only company she has ever had...he is very, very precious.

[That's why...]

I wish for you to have him. He will be in much better capable hands if he was to be paired up with someone as yourself. I do not believe it will be possible for the fox kits and Murai to be within the same household whenever I am absent. [The fox kits might try to eat him, is what he is trying to explain.]

[ .. Huh? He's.. giving the bird to her? Even though that bird has been Ririchiyo's for such a long time, the only thing that kept her company.. she does understand the reason he gives in the end, but it still feels.. weird. Like it's something that's too big for her to accept. ]

.. You're sure? [ It's rare for Ange to make sure of things like this, but right now while she's still upset her true emotions come out more quickly either way - like the insecurity just now. ] I mean, not that I wouldn't take care of it, but.. it was Ririchiyo's pet..

Ririchiyo-sama is not here. [He is repeating the bad news, so Ange can realize the full extent of the situation.] I do not believe I will be capable enough to properly look after Murai. Birds and I...we do not usually get along. [Well, he does hold the fox spirit within him, so....it might be best for him to look after the baby kits instead.]

Ushiromiya-sama, I have faith in you. I know you will take better care of him than I. And... [A short pause.] Ririchiyo-sama would wholeheartedly agree upon my decision. If it will bring you any sort of confort, then you can return Murai to Ririchiyo-sama if she ever returns to Asgard. [And with a more cheerful tone of voice.] You'll have a reason to visit if that were the case.

...

Okay. [ She doesn't really have much other choice, right? If he says he can't take care of it very well, and Ririchiyo would want it too.. well, it's not like a bird would be much trouble. Even if she's never had a pet before, but she knows she's responsible enough for it. ]

I'll try my best to take care of it. Do you want to bring him over or should I come pick him up instead?

I'll bring him to you, Ushiromiya-sama. There is no need for you to take such a trip over to Freya and back to Hel.

[He can tell she does not seem to be in the mood to do so.]

I will bring Murai and his items over along with a list for you to follow. He is not difficult to look after, but he follows a rather strict diet. It would be best to continue her directions. [Thank goodness for Ririchiyo thinking ahead about this.] May I visit you now, if you are not too busy?

[ Honestly, she's a little glad to hear the answer. Not that she wants anyone to see her right now, while she's like this, not even Soushi, but.. ah, well. Not like she has a choice right now. Maybe she can keep it brief either way. ]

Go right ahead. And if it's just food that I need to think of the most when looking after him, I'll be fine.

[Being a very brief visit will be for the best. Soushi is not in the conversation mood neither. He simply wishes to get one more extra weight off his chest.]

There is no doubt on my mind that you will do a splendid job.

I'll be heading over to Hel soon. [Ah, and before he forgets.] What room number do you currently reside in, Ushiromiya-sama? [After all, it will be the first time to visit her.]

I'm in room 205.

[ She lets out a tiny and mostly tired sigh. ]

Will you be able to find that? I don't know how often you've been in Hel before.

There is no need to feel concern, Ushiromiya-sama. I will find it. Hel is not a district I visit often, but I am familiar with the Welcome Hall's floor design.

[More like he would pass by the Welcome Hall of every district to study their interior design, in case of an emergency.]

Please allow me half an hour or so to arrive. I promise to not take much of your time. It will be a simple visit.

[He won't take most of her time. Presenting her with Murai is all he will do. For her to get better will be left in the hands of Murai, Ushiormiya-sama, and time. There is nothing he can do because, sadly, their relationship is rather weak in that sense. At least, he believes so. To offer comfort to others, it was not his talent unless he needed to because he wanted to use them for his own gains. No, he can never commit such a sin on her because she was his friend.]

I will see you soon.
