[Video; Forward dated to June 1]

[A small boy in a battered sheepskin jacket stares solemnly at the video. He pokes at the locket, an expression of mild curiosity on his face, before starting to speak.]

Ah, hullo? Is this thing on? Quite a strange little device. Not quite like anything I remember seeing before, I think.

[Will blinks, and smiles a little foolishly.]

But then I’m getting off topic. I've only just arrived here, you see. And I thought it would be terribly rude if I didn't introduce myself.  I am Will Stanton.

I don't suppose anyone would be willing to explain a bit more of what's happening? I've heard something about a war, but it all seems terribly confusing.

[ At the very least, it isn't a Radagast-like oddness. Tilting his head at the mortal child (he supposes, as it's hard to tell in these lands), he almost equates Will's intelligence and youth with that of an elven child's growth-rate; an older mind in a slow-to-mature body. ]

You will find it a vast museum of antiquities and had best ask the fairies for assistance. [ Also, just because it's true, ] And take something to eat, if you intend to stay awhile.

[The boy grins suddenly. He had always been rather find of old places and of old books. Even in such a serious situation, he couldn't help but feel his spirits lift at the prospect of spending time in such a place.]

It sounds quite marvelous. Don't worry, I will keep your advice in mind. I expect it will be quite useful.

Indeed. Let me know if you find something of use, then I shall feel all the better for my recommendation carrying weight.
