3. ☾ Video | Unlocked
[Hushed and softly husky young male voice over faint nocturnal insect noises and fainter Samhain music; swaying view of lights and shapes of buildings. The broadcaster hasn't taken their locket off - absentminded ponderation that warrants a question. Pardon the ponderation coming first.]
I wonder if there's anything I could do for the King and Queen... Uh --
Like -- the way we do things for them anyway, now and again -- not, like, for the war -- but I wonder if there's something really important someone could help 'em with in the castle, or somewhere I could go for them -- somewhere they've gotta explore, or something! Something you could do for a favor - or, uhh, not exactly a "favor" I guess, but... Something from home.
-- It probably sounds kind of terrible... -- But I was kind of just thinking about something and now I kind of want to...! [Which - distinctly trails and retraces its own tracks; he hasn't set up this questiong well at all! Cracks back in with a bit of an affected "heh...!"] Uh -- sorry...!
[Stumbles up to re-start stronger. ] It's Toboe! Um. -- I'm a wolf -- the King and Queen introduced me to this girl; she was supposed to be some kind of a nature spirit. [By now winding through airiness. Thoughtful, nosing again as he goes at introductions all-around, what he's "learning" his way around. Refocuses for the next bit.] -- A "dryad", I think that's what she was called. -- And she led me out to meet some other wolves. I, uh -- still haven't really gotten to know them, but they seem great...
[This particular injection of huskiness is genuine forward-looking excitement, but he'll try to spare the digression as much as possible for the moment...!]
Anyway...! Uh - they said they'd never heard of, or -- smelled, or seen Lunar Flowers...! So I wanted to ask the King and Queen if we could grow them here, and if it'd be possible to get some! Maybe there could be a whole field of them someday... [A vision of Paradise!] -- I know the other wolves would love 'em -- and I bet everybody else would like them, too!
Uhh... So, um -- ! Has anybody... ever asked for something like that before...? -- To earn a chance to ask for something from the Kings and Queens, when there's not one already? I-I can always wait! But I'm just wondering...
...And come to think of it! [Conversationally intent cutting-back-in!] Did they have Lunar Flowers where any of you guys came from? And the story of Paradise? Though I guess that one's less important...

[Bright, a hop straight forward, but a bit ginger, and it binds off a little abruptly - how does one talk about flowers...]
-- They're white! White like the moon - and they have petals that open up away from the middle - there was this circle of petals on the outside of the others that were thinnest, and they stuck out like a... [What word is he looking for...] Like -- whiskers, I guess... -- But they were shaped more like feathers.
And that part in the middle where the pollen is was pointed, and the pollen was light yellow.
I'm, uhh -- [Sheepish "heh".] Sorry I'm not really doing a good job at explaining it... [A less-limited botanical vocabulary would help that!] But they're beautiful -- and, uh -- the first thing I think about when I remember them is the smell.

[Given what they represent...]
Um - because they say where I come from, that - wolves were supposed to follow their scent to Paradise...

My friends and I followed their smell for ages -- ...and I think we had to've been close to Paradise when I was last with them. -- Before I was brought here, you know?
[Gone a little softer - bad as things were, horrible as they were, perhaps the others made it; perhaps he shouldn't be bummed they couldn't see the Drabwurld, as perhaps they're in Paradise right now.]
