[At first, nothing appears in the video aside from the expanse of sky and the hint of a stone wall at the edge of the image—-soon enough however, something large and white encompasses the screen, a muted snuffing noise filling the audio.

Soon after, a gloved hand appears in the frame as well, pushing what appears to be a scaled snout out of the picture with some indistinguishable words before the face of a tan man appears in the frame, hair mussed from what appears to be a large reptile nuzzling its snout against the back of his head.]

Sorry about that, I’m still working out the kinks of how this thing works. [A hand gestures to the screen.] I’m in a bit of a bind though, and I figured this would be the quickest way to get answers.

[The white creature shoves it’s head under his arm, resulting it a bit of a scuffle before Claude settles for scratching its chin.] See, my girl here is getting kind of antsy, and I was wondering if there were any good places to let her go flying, as well as hunt for food. Of course I could buy her meat at the shopping district, but-- [he’s temporarily shoved out of frame before pushing the scaly head away] --stop for just a second would you--but I think some exercise would do us both good. Does anyone more familiar with this place know somewhere to stretch out your wings?

I have a yard if that is what you needed for her. It isn't much, but it is green and has a garden that I have been keeping.

[He huffed, clearly miffed that his own work at becoming a curator of all the gossip that was worth a damn in town had been thwarted by Claude. How could he have missed a happening as huge as this?]

But clearly you want your solitude. I can respect that, even if I do not fully understand it.

[Being in a large house that was otherwise uninhabited tended to make his nerves irritable-- he couldn't stand it, and it was why he spent more time out of his house than in.]

Where are you? I do not like these channels-- and we have much to discuss.

[kingofunification]

You know me so well, Lorenz. [He gives the camera a wink.] Though perhaps if we can't find better arrangements you can offer your space to babysit for me while I look at some tomes the Coven has to offer.

[He takes the moment to offer something to the wyvern that she begins to chew on, allowing Claude to step away.] I'm not far from The Haven, there was a cottage unused there I was able to take residence in [He looks up, probably toward the place in question.] If you truly want to bring me a housewarming gift that badly, I can send you the address in private.

[bergamotrose]

Please. We both know you would eye any gift I bring with that suspicion you handle all of your affairs with. If there's something you truly need, speak now and I will gladly bring it. We've known each other for near six years, Claude, but you are still in many ways a mystery to me. For all anyone knows, you may already have what you need-- and that would truly be embarrassing if I were to bring you something, wouldn't it?

I do work in a tea shop. We have numerous blends that you might appreciate if you wish to try them. In the meanwhile...

Yes, please send the address. My residence is in The Haven, so you're not terribly far.

[kingofunification]

I have no needs right now, but I'll certainly let you know if that changes. Though, if you can find me a nice blend of tea, that wouldn't be such a bad gift. Something that could call back to a nice Almyran Pine, perhaps?

[He waves at the camera, offering another wink.] Well then, I'll test out the private message function to give you the coordinates. Make sure not to miss me too much while I'm gone, wont you Lorenz?

[bergamotrose]

There's a blend that I have never heard of before-- it's name is from a language I am unfamiliar with. Lapsang souchong? The leaves have been smoked over a pine fire-- it does call back to your Almyran Pine. I'll bring you some samples.

As difficult as you are, Claude, I find my sentiments torn. Now that you are here...

Do not be long.
