[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?

[Dimitri is far more comfortable around horses than wyverns - and he knows the differences between them are vast. Claude is certainly more learned, and has a depth of relationship with his mount that Dimitri has never shared with a warhorse.

Still - caution is of utmost importance.]

I understand...

Then perhaps you could introduce her to some locals. There may be other flying monsters who would enjoy a hunt themselves. They could point you in the right direction.

Or, they could engage in a play hunt. Such things are common here. [Dimitri has participated in several himself.]

Play hunt... [He hums, looking at the wyvern as if he was reading something in her expression.] That's not a bad idea if we can find nothing else to do with relative safety.

[He turns back to the camera, one corner of his mouth quirked in a grin.] Have any experience with those, your Princeliness?

[As always, Claude is too sharp. Dimitri stares into the camera for a beat too long - and doing that much has revealed the answer.

So he doesn't bother trying to hide it.] Yes, I have.

Often times the locals put on play-hunts for the monsters here, myself among them. I see no reason why your Wyvern could not also participate.

[There's a bit of a crooked smile on his lips still that only grows larger, somehow pleased that Dimitri confirmed his suspicions without a struggle. Instant gratification.]

Well, if you hear of one coming up, I would be grateful if you let me know. [He gives a another pat to the wyvern head before leaning off screen, coming back with a nondescript notebook that he scribbles something in.] Even if she can't participate, it's still something I'm interested in seeing, even if I have to do it from the clouds as a bystander.
