Video; Dec 3rd; both courts

[cagedinflesh]

Good day.

I'm afraid a mistake has been made. As I understand it, it's the Seelie court which should seek my loyalty, and yet I have found myself among the Unseelie. I intend no offence to members of either court, nor disloyalty to the court I have been placed with, yet it is a perplexity. Simply put, I am left to wonder if this was indeed the intent and there has been no confusion, or if my own confusion is sound. It's...troubling, for reasons I apologise for not detailing.

Similarly, I'm looking for a friend, most likely among the Seelie, if present. He's about seventeen, Japanese, and you'll know him for a foolish innocence and investment in justice. Better still, being terribly easily flustered.

[Giving a name would be better, and it does make it apparent this friend is his Master, to anyone in the know, but it is still even just a little bit safer to keep Tatsumi's name secret. He can't jeopardise the boy's safety.]

Ah, one more thing. I'm a doctor, therefore if anyone is ever in need of medical attention, I am always available, particularly for those outside the courts who may not have access to their infirmaries. I should note, however, my practice may not be up-to-date for some. Although I do promise I don't suck. [He laughs lightly.] -That's right, a name would be helpful, wouldn't it? I suppose it's best to continue with Berserker for now, although I am aware there is another by the name. If that name holds meaning to you, I believe it's important we speak. Perhaps more privately.

Would you? How so? I admit, my knowledge of magi is somewhat limited, as my Master is far from a proper magus. Therefore it is limited to interaction with enemy Masters, and the knowledge granted by the Grail.

[If the divide was more so good and evil, he could understand entirely. Magi may be orderly and traditional, but in his eyes, more often than not, 'evil'. Not that he'll say so directly to one. That's rude.]

...oh, really...? Well, that's... interesting, I suppose.

Is he just untrained, or...?

He was unaware of the existence of magecraft until my summoning. It seems the incantation was simply mistakenly read from his grandfather's notes. So I suppose there was some family history, but... I take it that is not at all the case for yourself.

Hm... well, it's unfortunate that the Crest doesn't seem to have been passed down in his case, but that's not exactly unheard of. Sometimes, magical lines seem to die out, and then a descendant's born with enough magic circuits to perform magecraft after the family's Crest has gone by the wayside...

Well, anyway, I'm the head of an active family, so it very much isn't the case with me.

Is that so? Interesting, well, now I shall have to inform him of that, it would explain a few things.

[Not that he's going to outright speak of Tatsumi's particular skills. That much should remain secret. But the Mystic Eye makes some sense in that case. Instead, with that he smiles to the other man. The head of a family...that causes some wariness, but he shouldn't judge someone based solely on that.]

I assume you are not of the families which I am familiar with, as their names are Japanese, and you must be British? [Maybe mages from the homeland are good...!] You seem young to be the head, that's quite impressive.

Ah, yes, that would be it. There are only a few notable families of mages over in Japan, and two of them, the Tohsaka and Matou, are always involved in the Holy Grail War in some fashion.

Of course, by its nature, it does tend to attract the occasional foreigner... And really, it's not that young. I tend to take more pride in becoming a lecturer at a young age than the head... though, I do pride myself on being a competent head.
