[Video | Open to both courts]

[The person of indeterminate gender speaking through the locket looked rather fearsome if only for the armor they were wearing which bore a thematic scheme much like that of a great demon. Looking past that however, one may see that, without the large spike jutting from the iron helm sitting on their head, the person in question was likely no more then five feet in height at best, a size that somewhat diminished the effect of fear their armor was supposed to instill in others.

Without being able to see their face, it was a bit hard to tell just what Mordred was thinking at the moment. But from the rather calm and collected tone of her voice made it seem almost as if she was attending to errands, rather then speaking of anything of great import or substance.]

Something has been weighing on my mind since my arrival here, aside from the obvious question of why I've been called upon to fight a war such as this... that being upon which criteria the rulers of this land based their selection of whom they summon. If any kind soul would be gracious enough to share what they know of the process I would be eternally grateful, though I'm afraid that I can offer little in return for such information.

Now that I have finally found how to restrict my speech through this device, I recall that you wished to speak in private. I imagine now is as good a time as any, so you have my full attention milady, take as much time as you wish.

[...what's with all these tiny, tiny knights

first the actual king of them and now this]

What, do you mean by courts, or by... arriving here to begin with? The former seems a bit arbitrary to me, even if I can grasp the logic behind it, but the latter... well, I've really got no idea.

I ask in a general sense of how each person summoned here is selected to be plucked from home and brought. No one thus far has seemed to know either, which is mildly troubling.

That aside, there is something about the possibility of a ruler selecting their army at random simply does not sit well with me.

I don't get the impression that it's random, necessarily, but I wouldn't be surprised if the criteria for our selection is a bit abstract and makes sense only to the monarchs. Faeries aren't exactly known for operating on human logic, even if they are considered Seelie.

As yes, the faefolk. I cannot even pretend that I will ever begin to understand how they think.

...to be entirely honest, I'm not sure if I'd want to. I imagine understanding how they think is the sort of thing that would lead to one going absolutely batty.

Re: video

[hiddeninfidelity]

Agreed. I've enough problems dealing with people then to try and learn the ways of their kind.

Generally, humans at least tend to operate in ways that are a bit less difficult to figure out by virtue of having human mindsets to begin with.

...of course, it doesn't seem like they have that problem with us.
