[Swift is, let's be honest, not great with using this thing. It feels clunky and unnecessary, but it's what he's got to work with. Not everyone is a har, so he'll learn to live with it. Maybe eventually he'll even get good at it.

As it is for now, when the video starts he's glaring at the screen and it catches the tail end of a curse before he schools his face into a more neutral, perhaps diplomatic, expression.]

As I understand it, Seel har Parasiel has been here for quite some time...alone, let's say. [Unsupervised. He means unsupervised. He hasn't had a proper babysitter.] I would like to take a moment to apologize personally if he's been incorrigible or stubborn or plain mean. I don't know all of what he said to everyone, but I'm hoping it won't be a problem for much longer. [It will still be a problem for a while until Seel gets used to having Swift around again, and he knows that. He's at least prepared for it. This by itself is going to cause a fight.]

If you are having problems with him, please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll make sure it's taken care of. Once again, I am very sorry and I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Ominous. And yet somehow still wise.

[toiletseat_girl]

[give her a moment]

...me?

[swiftlet]

Is it that shocking?

[toiletseat_girl]

Well. Yes. I don't get compliments often.

[swiftlet]

Why?

[toiletseat_girl]

[she considers]

I guess I'm just. Kind of normal by this place's standards. And I'm not exactly pretty?

[swiftlet]

I can't speak to any of that, but it's not a stupid thing to be prepared for potential retaliation.

[toiletseat_girl]

I'm definitely doing that. I've never really had to fight before, so I'm getting people to help me learn. Just in case.

[swiftlet]

That might be a good idea.

[toiletseat_girl]

What about you? Ever have to fight a war before?

[swiftlet]

Yes. A few, actually.

[toiletseat_girl]

That experience is gonna come in handy when the Null show their ugly metal faces again. Were you more of a front lines fighter or giving orders fighter?

[swiftlet]

I'm not a fighter, so giving orders, I suppose.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeah? We probably could've used some order when the Null attacked 'cause from what I've heard, it was a clusterfuck out there. I work at the clinic, so I wasn't out in the fighting.

[swiftlet]

It requires that people are willing to listen.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yeahhhhh, that might be rough. 'Cause most people here don't like being told what to do.

[swiftlet]

I figured.

[toiletseat_girl]

You figured right. I don't know what is it about this place 'cause it seems to attract the stubborn.

[swiftlet]

They live longer, I imagine.

[toiletseat_girl]

Not necessarily. I mean, have your heard about this place's death policy?

[swiftlet]

Some. But I'm not certain I approve.

[toiletseat_girl]

Of which part? The coming back a few days later, no harm, no foul? Or the no punishment of the killer part?

[swiftlet]

Any of it.

[toiletseat_girl]

It is really weird. Both parts of it. I'm used to death being a lot more final. Usually.

[swiftlet]

I'm sure most people are.
