video; open to both courts

[ortolan]

Good afternoon, I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. It is a rare pleasure to have the opportunity to meet so many new and interesting people. I must admit that I have had some difficulty adjusting to this brave, new world and I can only hope that you are doing better than I.

[ The image-feed shows a neatly dressed man somewhere in his late forties standing in front of the curtain wall around Caer Glaem. As he speaks, he walks on with the burrowing faeries and climbing rose-vines looping behind him. He's chosen his direction well and the late afternoon suns highlights the angles of his face, but doesn't glare into the locket or blind the viewer. ]

I have spent some little time thinking about why we have been brought here - there is the story of the shards and I do not need that repeated - but do you really believe that these gems nestle in the breast at random? Or is there a skill one court or the other needs from you? What gift do you bring your king and queen?

[ first, there is hair. and then, a girl who mostly looks uncertain. what gift do you bring? he asks and rapunzel have never thought of it that way, have never thought that maybe, the King and Queen have an interest in her hair.

She has never looked upon them. so it couldn't be.

Could it? ]

They never mentioned anything about gifts. N-not that I necessarily have none but I somehow guess baking and being great with a guitar are not really what they need for a - battle.
