eachdraidh | ✘ video / after the feast / open to both courts

[ Hans has made pretty good legwork around Caer Scima during and after the feast, but that's not quite enough to satisfy his curiosity on a few matters - the locket, for one, and the other court for another. So he might as well kill two birds with one stone, right? Besides, while he's still getting his bearings, the best thing he could do what get to know as many people as possible. He hates being so unfamiliar with, well, everyone.

So he greets the video feed with a friendly, enthusiastic grin, his actual exhaustion buried deep beneath the surface. ]

Good evening! I apologize for the interruption, but I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, and I've only just arrived in this world. As you might imagine, it's a bit overwhelming. If wouldn't mind taking a moment of your time to help me better understand the conflict going on here, I would appreciate it.

[ Then, after a thoughtful moment: ] And for curiosity's sake, who else is a royal in their own world? Surely, I can't be the only lucky one here.

[ Sure, lucky, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ]

Thank you for listening. I hope we'll be able to cross paths in person soon.

Why do you ask?

Merely a way to pass the time, meet those I share a common thread with. It's nice to have the familiarity when I'm unfamiliar with just about everything here.

Rarely do royals regard each other with a comforting familiarity. [ but hey, that might be just her. morgana you paranoid lady. (she would seek allies, people to be used and thrown away when no longer useful.) ] But, I can understand the sentiment.

I know, it might sound a little naively optimistic of me. [ Because he's all about naive optimism. ] It might only be a small comfort, but at least it's something.

[ morgana smiles, chin lifting as her head tilts to the side. ] Such naivety can be dangerous in times like these.

[ She sounds like she knows from experience, but he doesn't mention it. ]

Maybe so. I suppose if it is, I'll learn better soon enough. It's an old habit of mine, I'm afraid.

Best that you do. It would be a shame to see such a handsome face come to harm.

I'm touched by your concern for my well-being, milady.

My name is Morgana.

Lady Morgana, then. [ He isn't assuming her title, but rather defaulting to it like with everyone he's met here. Peasants almost always liked being called a higher title than they deserved, anyway. ] It's a pleasure to meet you, and I do thank you for your warning.

[ there is approval there, satisfaction that he defaulted to her title without truly knowing so. ] As much of a pleasure as it is to meet you, my lord. I pray you find what you seek, and keep safe as these are dangerous times.

I can only promise I'll try. [ His line of work, so to speak, wasn't exactly safe, but he took his occupational hazards in stride. ]
