video; unseelie locked.

Hello, for those of you I haven't yet met, I'm Harry.

[The video footage is of a young man with messy black hair, one bottle-green eye, and half his face silvered over with old scarring. On the damaged side, he has a red amber prosthetic in place of an eye. In the background, there's a crow that periodically peers over his shoulder.]

The queen has tasked me to talk to every one of the Unseelie and ask for a memory of solidarity, overcoming great odds, or defeating a foe. With these, she can use it to create a better, stronger defence for a rebuilt Caer Scima.

It's going to take time to do this — at the very least, a few months — so there's no hurry to meet and I've the ability to get to pretty much anywhere in the Drabwurld quickly.

[He looks down at a bit of paper that's just out of sight; seems like someone made notes before talking.]

Sharing a memory is done through magic, it doesn't hurt, I won't look at anything you don't want me to see and I'll swear to that.

How's that?

[She hasn't missed his looks or the prosthetic, but she's a charmer.]

Or I could have you and get both. But I get the feeling it won't be for free.

[Nor would she expect it to be.]

Nothing really is. I'd like first dibs on anything you find and want to sell. If it's something I really need, I'll pay you the fair price for it, but I want to have the first shot at it.

[desperate_times]

If I want to sell it.

But yes, I can agree to that.

[She'd need to find a buyer anyway, so why not let it be him?]

[thebreakingwave]

Then it's a deal.

[ There are a few things both he and Linn are on the lookout for and this might be a good way to find them. ]

[desperate_times]

[She gets a sense of that. Otherwise, he might not have asked to have first dibs.]

Anything special you're looking for? I do travel quite a lot.

[And if she can just get something he wants for him, it's a much quicker pay day.]
