( the video shows a petite girl, standing in a bedroom in caer glaem and facing the locket, back straight; she's a bit off-centre, leaving a notable gap to her right that's either unoccupied or filled with a wolf pup, depending on your magical/supernatural abilities (as in: whether or not they exist; he can only be seen by those with power).

either way, yuzuriha doesn't hesitate, smiling broadly and giving a little salute: )

Hello everyone! I'm Yuzuriha Nekoi, fourteen years old, and right now I live in Tokyo, Japan! I've just arrived here, and I'm glad to meet everyone!

( don't falter! but she bites her lip. ) Um, I just had one question! I heard we're supposed to be 'helping in a battle,' but I don't know exactly how we're supposed to start? ( she also doesn't realise these questions can be filtered. or really that there's another group she's meant to be filtering from. yuzuriha frowns slightly, clasping her hands before her. after all, if she abandoned everyone for this place, she has to do her duty, right? ) Um… or… really, what to do in general… ( she trades a look with the wolf pup/empty space beside her, and then remembers that she's supposed to be making a good impression, not worrying. hurriedly: )

But it really is very nice to be here! I'm ready to do my best, so I hope we all get along!

But do you know what your reason is?

[What a cheerful girl. They needed more people like that]

[relieson]

Um… it's to help out in that battle thing they mentioned, right?

[devotedqueen]

Yes, but do you know who you are fighting? And why you're fighting? It's good, that you want to help. You have a good heart.

[She tries to put it as gently as possible. Three years ago, she had been like this, hadn't she?]

But in a war, it's never that simple.

[relieson]

That's why I'm asking, so that I know what I'm supposed to do.

I can tell you what I think. Of course, you'll have to come to your own conclusions.

Queen Solais - I understand her values. Indeed, they are values I also hold dear to my heart. She has been generous and in my meeting with her, I detected no deception about her manner.

[She smiles gently and reaches for words to explain. Elincia was against this whole mess but everyone had to make their own choices once they had all the information available to them]

But I don't think all the Unseelie are bad, the way the fairies and Queen Solais have claimed them to be. I have a friend amongst the Unseelie and I have never met anyone more heroic and just than he. And I do not approve of Queen Solais's methods in ordering her subjects into battle. So no matter her generosity, I can't help but hold that against her.

… ( she listens carefully, picking at a nick in one of her fingernails as she does, inuki watching with similar attentiveness. she doesn't hear anything she disagrees with, or hadn't already hoped. she doesn't want to fight irredeemable bad guys. after all, if they're not bad, then everyone can work things out without fighting, right?

so in the end, she just has one question. ) What kind of methods?

Earlier this month, there had been a battle with the two factions. The Unseelie queen deployed her people to attack Caer Glaem whilst Queen Solais sent hers to infiltrate and attack Caer Scima.

From what I can tell, both did it to obtain a stolen treasure and neither Queen gave us much of a choice in the matter. There was no room for objection. We were merely given one hour to prepare before we were forcefully sent off. Some of us were enthusiastic. Others were most against the matter.

[relieson]

But it's what we're here for, isn't it?

[devotedqueen]

That doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

[relieson]

If it leads to everyone being safe, and everything being okay, then I think it is.

[devotedqueen]

Do you think it really will lead to everyone being safe?

[relieson]

That's why we're fighting, isn't it?

[devotedqueen]

[A soft laugh]

Yes. We might all be taking different approaches to it, but that's true.

[relieson]

So everything will turn out fine! We just all need to work hard and do our best!

[devotedqueen]

Indeed.

[relieson]

( smile!! )

It's nice to meet you!

[devotedqueen]

[She smiles back. What an excitable kid]

And you, Yuzuriha. Please take care.
