[video / both courts]

[He'd wanted to do this more formally, had all sorts of plans for what to say and what topics he needed to address. But his hand is being forced, and so quick and to the point is what he has to settle for.

Some might recognize him, but he's been busy outside the courts and so plenty might not. For those unfamiliar, the person speaking over the lockets is young and delicate-looking, with a regal sort of poise and a currently unhappy expression.]


My name is Saralegui. With the Lady Alyosha's death, rule of Redgate has fallen to me. Were things less dire, I'd have taken the time to speak on the intentions Alyosha had for the city, the hopes I have for it. Issues of rebuilding and peace, moving on from past traumas, maintaining a safe haven for both its residents and shardbearers -- anyone who wants no part in this war. But the situation is dire, and time won't permit me to do things so nicely.

[There. At least he can leave hints as to what was intended, both to soothe his own ego over ruined plans, and tease out those who might have had some interest in any of it. Multi-tasking is good. But frowning now, he focuses, voice steady and gaze intense beneath tinted glasses.]

Reynard the Fox is riding for Redgate. We've no idea when he might arrive, or what he's after, but I've seen firsthand the sort of death and destruction he can cause on his own. The city has already experienced more than enough bloodshed, is still recovering from it, and I would not see it suffer him.

[Only a little bit of a lie in there -- he knows what Reynard wants, as do likely at least a few others who are in the loop with regards with Reynard and Alyosha. But details like that aren't necessary to appeal to those who might be useful here. Those with strong senses of honor, or justice, or revenge.]

I know Redgate has its champions and allies in either court from Alyosha's rule, and there are plenty who would call the Fox their enemy. I ask for those who would stand in the city's defense, whatever the reasons. I leave myself for Redgate as soon as possible, through means faster than by horseback and fairy rings, and anyone in Caer Scima willing to help is welcome to travel with me.

[ likely. zuko has his map out in front of him, on his desk in his suite as he had tried to calculate how long it would take him to hit the locations reynard could possibly be. cothromach isn't far, especially given he's been to caer glaem and can easily teleport to it using his boon. if this happened to be home, zuko would know which route reynard would opt for, knowing the ease of the water or even the people of the land during his three years of being banished from the fire nation. the likely would morph into a hard definitely if this was home. but the drabwurld is a mystery to him, as the world had been to a thirteen year-old boy with something to prove and a bandage that stung over his eye. it'd be fruitless attempting to confront reynard while on route, given zuko has no idea where to even begin. ]

[ it's frustrating having knowledge on how to track the avatar and he can't even apply it to a ginger lilly liver. ]

I can teleport to Caer Glaem and be at Daonna within the night. It should take me a day or two to get to Redgate if I walk fast enough.

I've fought him before.

[ and lost, but zuko isn't easily deterred as some may be. certainly, he had stewed in his failure, but he had learned important information from sir lancelot about reynard and what drives him — at least, what he seeks. if at first you don't succeed, you listen to aaliyah on repeat. ]

You're going to need all the help you can get. Especially if the late Lady Alyosha has something he wants. [ which, as far as zuko knows, may be a shard. ]
