[No video, not yet. Too incoherently angry, and it's clear in his voice.]

I don't know whose idea of a fucking joke this is, but thanks for pulling me out of a gladiatorial death match so I can fight in some foreign war. I'm sure Mogré-Ür will think this is a hoot when I get back. If I get back.

[he feigns an apologetic voice] Sorry, sorcerer sir. The kid died or got turned in a Troll WMD because some fairies needed me in another dimension for a while. You know how it is.

[a pause and some unintelligible grumbling]

Crow, this blows. I was just starting to like that kid, too...

So, I hope whoever's listening is paying a pretty penny for this inconvenience. I don't do this stuff for free. Never have and never will.

Where are you? You sound like the moon's singing in your veins.

Where? Near someplace called Caer Scima that looks like my ex wife's been loaning out her decorator, but it's all just weird foreign landscape to me.

What does the moon have to do with anything?

Oh. You're Unseelie. Well... We can still hunt together if you wanna direct all that anger and restlessness at something.

And I'm a werewolf, so the full moon tends to make me like you're being.

You're awfully confident to just admit that you're a werewolf like that. Where I'm from, not everyone likes that kind of thing on account of the fact that livestock and villagers get mauled to death on the night of a full moon. One nearly took my damn arm off.

[He was a werewolf hunter for about a week once, but the work didn't agree with him so he quit. He didn't actually care about people dying to the beast unless he was getting paid to stop it. And here he wasn't. So he didn't actually care what she was. It was merely an observation.]

You're right though. I am in the mood to take someone's arm off.

Those kind of werewolves should be killed. If they can't control their wolf, they're a danger to everyone, including other werewolves. The Marrock has a law where I'm from to make that kind of thing rare. I was fine on the full moon and didn't hurt no one.

[Awkward teenage pause.] So... I'm Kara.

A law to not kill people even if you're a werewolf. That's handy.

[he grumps a little]

Name's Lusiphur. What are things like on the Seelie side?

It's not that, um, we can't kill humans it's just that wild rogue killing isn't allowed. We're predators... Violence is kinda in our being unless you're a submissive. But submissive wolves are kinda rare. But mostly the humans that die are the ones that deserve it or are too stupid to walk away when they should.

You're not, like, the Lucifer are you? [Unfortunately, she can't see that he's an elf and not, say, a demon.] Fire, brimstone, Lord of Hell and all that church stuff...
