[ The locket is floating.

It’s the only explanation for the view that the item gives – a young man, out on the walls of one of the castles, the moon curved behind him. His arms are crossed in front of him, not touching the device as it records. Black eyes (all black, like the depths of the sea) regard it for a moment and then one hand moves, gestures at the locket. ]

Well, well.

[ His head tilts, and while his lips don’t turn up, one may get the feeling that he’s smirking. ]

I must say, this is an interesting turn of events. One that even I did not see coming.

[ His voice is almost monotonous, but there is something like music in it – like whale song. ]

To be pulled away to the Drabwurld, asked to take part in this war. I wonder if they truly know what they are doing. [ His hand returns, head moving back so that he can look straight at the camera. ]

I hear there was a battle. One should expect such things, in war. I suppose I should ask about it. [ He doesn’t. Instead- ]

Tell me, Shardholders, something... interesting.

War is about passion. Choosing to fight for a belief, or a people, above all others, destroying anyone that would dare rip that claim from your fingertips. That is what war should mean. It should be a last and final resort, when peace is no longer, or never has been, an option.

[ Which might be why he's so violently against this war, here, in this stupid world. He cares little for it's meaning, it's people, wanting nothing more than to fight for himself. ]

You must have a favourite, one you find most interesting.

But it isn't.

[ The Outsider is quite for this war, because the Fate Of All Things is actually a pretty interesting topic. ]

It depends on who makes the choice. On if it's... expected.

[ Erik sniffs. He isn't going to argue semantics with a fool; no. Instead, he's going to focus on the latter point. (It isn't giving up). ]

So you enjoy watching curious people make unexpected decisions.
