first shot ☢ VOICE (open to seelie & unseelie)

[mixcds]

[He's been toying with the idea of video for about an hour; but he's taken the contacts out for now, and he's too aware that Jem might pick up her locket and see him. And so, he goes with voice. ]

So, fairies. That's - that's great.

[Now that he's got this locket working, he's not actually sure what to say. 'Hi! I'm Kieren, I like the Ramones and long walks through the graveyard'? Christ. ]

Listen, I'm still a bit overwhelmed. If overwhelmed is the right word to use. I've been through some pretty weird shit, but this really takes it to a whole new level.

[A beat. ]

My name's Kieren. I was hoping someone might be able to make some sense out of this? If that's even possible.

Comments

[mildly]

It's a lovely name. She must be quite dear to you.

[Because she can hear the fondness in his voice.]

...'right cheeky sod'?

[mixcds]

She's a handful, I mean. She's the rebellious sort. I think she takes after me, if I'm honest.

[mildly]

I'll be sure to remember that phrase.

You sound close. You must miss her already.

[mixcds]

She's here, in Caer Scima. But she's off doing her own thing, probably too embarrassed to be seen with her older brother.

[mildly]

Is she as shy as you are?

[mixcds]

I don't think so. She's better looking - braver, too.

[mildly]

It wouldn't surprise me to find that both things run in your family.
