[The light in the room is muted and warm, but still bright enough that you get a clear view. You can see a fair slice of the room, in fact, but the obvious focus appears to be the man kneeling in front of a woman, both seemingly unaware of the camera. The angle is such that his face is relatively visible to any viewer, while hers is somewhat hidden behind her hair, although those familiar with her might recognize Ghanima’s tanned skin and sun-bleached hair, or the crysknife in her hand.]

[Fai, his eyepatch a little bit ascew so a hint of a scar is sometimes visible when he moves, has his good eye shut as the video feed starts, but soon opens it to reveal a slit pupil, a yellow sclera. He smiles a little bit tautly, as if both amused and feeling some strain.]

At your leisure, my lady. I think I’ve got myself under reasonable control. [A hint of a joke there, but rather dark.]

[ The video feed opens, showing a tired looking Yuui slumped against a wall, giving the clear impression that without the support he would most likely be falling to the ground right about now. He does his best to smile but it’s not hard to see the signs of barely repressed panic hidden in the tightness around his mouth and eyes, or in the way he forces his breathing to stay almost unnaturally measured and even.]

Hello. I- ah, I must admit I’m not quite sure if I’m fully ready to accept this whole alien kidnapping thing yet. But on the off chance that this is not some kind of elaborate prank that’s been taken way too far, my name is Yuui. [He bows slightly at the camera, the action more of a reflex than anything else.] Yuui Flourite.

[He hesitates for a moment before pressing on.]

Also, I must admit I don’t think I’ve ever been handpicked by a deity before, so I’m not quite sure how this is supposed to work, even with the nice guide I was given. So I was wondering if anyone has seen my brother around here somewhere? His name is Fai, and we’re twins so if you see this you should be able to recognize him. Only his hair is a bit shorter, going up to about here, [He raises one hand to indicate the area between his shoulder and his jaw.] and he’s a bit more, well, expressive than I am. I don’t know how likely it is for him to have been brought as well, but if he has I really need to find him. [There’s a sense of urgency in his voice and his smile betrays his worry even more than his words does.] And Fai, if you hear this, don’t worry okay. Just stay where you are and I’ll come and find you. I promise.

Ah- I suppose that’s it. Thank you for- for listening to me. [He lingers for a moment, a bit uncertain on how to properly end something like this, before closing the feed with a quick, determined gesture.]
