[The video turns on and shows Chloe, a stunning woman with olive skin and pale blue eyes. Her hair, jet black, is tied behind her, and she looks at the camera with smug amusement. It’s probably her typical expression.]

Hello, darlings.

[There’s a notable Australian accent in her voice.]

Since it looks like I’m stuck here for awhile with the rest of you, it seems like a good idea to stock up on some supplies. It’s a dangerous world out there, you know. A girl can’t be too careful.

I could also use some maps of the area. Roads. Obstacles. That sort of thing. I imagine there might be something worth finding out there, too.

And just maybe, if you need something found, I can be the girl to get it for you. Name’s Chloe Frazer. People say I’m the resourceful type.

[He's sooo puny! Sort of reminds her of Nate and his tendency toward bad jokes.]

Help, in the magical sort of way?

[Can't help but notice those lights.]

I think we could work out an arrangement.

[Obviously, magic is kind of big around here, and she lacks it.]

I don't think you'd want my dancing.

[ Or, well, anything really. Felix may be a wizard, but that's about all that he is. Not that he's planning on volunteering that tawdry bit of knowledge. ]

I've dispelled curses before, nothing that we encounter here should prove particularly troublesome. [ It's not quite a lie if he has no honest idea of the truth. Plural possessives might also be jumping the gun, but he's not about to waste time worrying over it. ] The fruit of such acquisitions would, of course, remain your own.

If I'm keeping all the fruit, what're you getting out of it, then?

The layout of the orchard, a description of the farmer, and a first glance at the plums if you bring them to market. Consider me a botanist.

I hope you're aware I'm not interested in actual fruit.

[She hopes they're still speaking in metaphors here.]

But I get it. You want information. And seeing as I have no magic to deal with curses and the like, I don't see a problem with this partnership.

Darling, if you came back with a cartload of apples I'd be disappointed in us both. We'll call it a bargain then -- and a toast to future ventures.

Cheers, mate.
