Now that I have finally regained this infernal communications device-

[No, she will not call it a "phone", that is a shortening of the name and it is a name that annoys her, no less. It looks like she's dusting it off. There is an expression of annoyance on her face.]

Really, I've spent days hunting this wretched device down.

[Clearing her throat, she lifts a hand to brush the hair from her face.]

Now, I had a question for you. Has anyone been attempting to document these "shadows"? Or have you all merely been attempting to kill them like wild animals defending your territory?

I have no love for him. I don't want to speak to him more than I have to.

Thank you. It is imperative that he not know his own foolishness.

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

I'm sure there's no chance of that.

[Sigh.]

As a student, his skills are immense. If only his mind were also.

A great mountain rumbles and brings forth only one mouse. It would be better for him if he wasn't so praised.

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

Heh. I, at least, have never praised him. But at the same time he has the adulations of many of the mages. His pride is a weakness that led to his failure.

Thank you for... somewhat not making things worse.

My job is to teach him, to guide him to victory - not to encourage his more pathetic attributes. If he is to be my husband, he will understand that.

[unknownrival]

Hopefully. I'd be happy if you two married and left the rest of us alone.

Thank you for damning me to a life of living with that man. [Sarcasm. Nobody does it like a Sophia-Ri.]

No matrimonial bliss?

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

You've seen the man. Would you expect matrimonial bliss?

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

You make a valid case.

Even our wedding would not keep him from causing trouble for Diarmuid, I am sure.

[Nor her.]

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

I'm afraid I'd have to stop him.

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

I will not let him harm Diarmuid.

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

Neither will I, and I can do it better.

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

I can do it without hurting him.

...or with hurting him, if I must.

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

Right. I can still do it better.

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

Beating him up or killing him will not deter him.

What I can do will breed more resistance.

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

What exactly do you intend to do?

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

Now, why do you think I would tell you that?

[Locked Video]

[unknownrival]

Because my brother's safety is my first concern.

[Locked Video]

[hyphenated]

As it is mine. Kayneth cannot harm him in this state at any rate. Diarmuid is a trained fighter. Kayneth is a mage. Even in our world, mages are no match for Servants.

[unknownrival]

I know that. But I still don't trust you with his safety due to your skewed idea of what will help him.
