[Video of the memory here.]

( binding bonds. )

[Sometime later, Ike's usual vaguely frowning face will appear in the locket:]

Hm. Another one of these. Um... Sorry.

[it's been three months and it's the first time ben has ever broadcasted over the network. he hasn't quite figured out to keep his 'announcement' to just one of the courts, and maybe he doesn't care. he'd prefer it if he could just stay under the radar forever, but that would be unrealistic. the locket is settled on a table in front of him, and he appears to be in the bailey.

the question seems to be quite a feat for him as he speaks, because there's a certain amount of stress to his words. he tries to keep it light, but it's hard for him.]

Name's Ben Hawkins, and I need work. Don't gotta be paid, just need somethin' to do. Don't care if it's just movin' books or a table. Leave me a message, whatever you gotta do.

[his tone reeks of exasperation, even boredom. he's desperate. he shrugs his shoulders, lips pressing together and brows furrowing.]

Maybe even a few sword lessons'd be nice. [asking for help is hard] Ain't askin' for much, just-- just in case I need it.

[he pauses, awkwardly, as if he doesn't know what else to say. how do other people usually end the feed? they just turn it off, right? he hesitates, reaching for the locket, and finally--]

Bye.

[and the feed shuts off.]

[When Elincia appears, she looks a little bit...frazzled. Definitely out of sorts. The circlet on her forehead is missing and her armor doesn't seem to be quite complete]

Ah...I don't suppose anyone has seen a couple of healing staffs lying around, have they? I found this--

[She lifts a giant axe (something big enough and heavy looking enough to look like it should cause Elincia some trouble but she handles the weight well, all things considered) up to the locket and looks a little bemused. She knows who the axe belongs to at least. All the more reason to get traveling soon]

---in their place. As nice as this axe is, I don't think I'm going to find much use out of it.

If anyone finds my staffs, I will be waiting in the stables for their return.

[She can't run off to travel without her staffs after all.

People can find healing staffs all over Caer Glaem. In trees, random suits of armor and so on AND MAYBE IN YOUR THINGS thanks Kow.]

( the video shows a petite girl, standing in a bedroom in caer glaem and facing the locket, back straight; she's a bit off-centre, leaving a notable gap to her right that's either unoccupied or filled with a wolf pup, depending on your magical/supernatural abilities (as in: whether or not they exist; he can only be seen by those with power).

either way, yuzuriha doesn't hesitate, smiling broadly and giving a little salute: )

Hello everyone! I'm Yuzuriha Nekoi, fourteen years old, and right now I live in Tokyo, Japan! I've just arrived here, and I'm glad to meet everyone!

( don't falter! but she bites her lip. ) Um, I just had one question! I heard we're supposed to be 'helping in a battle,' but I don't know exactly how we're supposed to start? ( she also doesn't realise these questions can be filtered. or really that there's another group she's meant to be filtering from. yuzuriha frowns slightly, clasping her hands before her. after all, if she abandoned everyone for this place, she has to do her duty, right? ) Um… or… really, what to do in general… ( she trades a look with the wolf pup/empty space beside her, and then remembers that she's supposed to be making a good impression, not worrying. hurriedly: )

But it really is very nice to be here! I'm ready to do my best, so I hope we all get along!

It seems the queens are bringing more and more people in to fight for their cause.

[When the feed flickers on, Elincia seems to be muttering to herself a little before she straightens and smiles at the locket. More people was both a bad thing and a good thing in her eyes. Bad because this meant more people to fight a useless war. Good because there might be more who could help her with something that was very important if she wanted to take leave of the castle as soon as possible.

Normally, she wouldn't ask people for help in such a public manner. But here, she was completely out of her depths and there didn't seem to be any books in the library that could aid her. While the queen's gift certainly sped up the process, Elincia just didn't have the knowledge about animal taming and training in order to maximise it's potential.

Which is why she's here right now. She looks as neat and elegant as ever but to anyone who can read her well enough, they will be able to tell she's a little flustered.]

Excuse me, everyone, if I could just have a moment of your time, there are a few things I'd like to ask.

Firstly, I was wondering if there was anyone who could give me advice on taming animals. Wild horse-like creatures to be exact but if you have any advice at all, that would be most appreciated.

[She tips her head politely with a small smile]

While I've been around horses and pegasi all my life, I've never been asked to tame one and I find myself struggling to do so. I can offer my abilities as a healer in return, if you like.

Secondly, I would like to ask, those of the Seelie Court in particular - is there anyone else out there interested in taking their leave of the castle? I understand several groups have headed off already but if there's anyone else who desires to see the world out there [and get out of the castle's range before they were dragged into another battle with or without their consent. She had expressed interest to Lord El-Melloi before but this time, she thinks she might be able to move around more efficiently with the right preparations] then please, let me know. It seems to be safer to travel in groups than alone.

Thank you for your time.

[Another small tip of her head and the video ends]
