[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.

I'm sure he did.

[Seel's thought about that a lot. After he locked Flick up and Swift forgave him. Mostly. After the fights and disagreements. After every time Swift had to put a hand on his shoulder and reign him back. Maybe Thiede was a better matchmaker than anyone gave him credit for.]

I know. I love you too Swift.

[swiftlet]

Will you at least try to be polite? Or politer?

[dreamsallotted]

I will try if you help me.

[He didn't want to let you down, Swift. He didn't want to prove that he wasn't any better than a worthless Uigenna.]

[swiftlet]

I will. You know I will.

The door's unlocked now if you want to come in.

[dreamsallotted]

Thanks Swift.

I mean that. Despite everything.

[swiftlet]

I know you do. And for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

[dreamsallotted]

Don't be. It's not you that's the problem.

[swiftlet]

There seem to be more than a few people here who believe that I am.

[dreamsallotted]

Humans get defensive easily. Learn from their mistakes.

[swiftlet]

I've noticed. I don't intend to follow their example.

[dreamsallotted]

They're also rather judgmental. The ones here aren't like Bryony. Some of them are good people, but they're limited.

[swiftlet]

[Sigh]

Not everyone yelled at me, at least. You have quite a few people saying good things about you.

[dreamsallotted]

It's easy enough to keep busy here. There's always things to do.

[And the few times he did get delusions of grandeur Cal stepped in, but he certainly wasn't saying that.]

[swiftlet]

So you've just been staying too busy to lose your mind?

[dreamsallotted]

......Not exactly.

[Shit, did he have to tell him?]

[swiftlet]

What have you been doing, then?

[dreamsallotted]

[Guess he did. He couldn't keep a secret like that from Swift.]


In any order?
I almost hit Maglor.

I got really, really, really drunk and told all of Hadriel what horrible hara Cal and Pell were.

I wasn't exactly polite to George and Jo.

....Is it bad if I can't remember everything?

[swiftlet]

Seel... [sigh. What is he even supposed to say about that?]

What a I going to do with you?

[dreamsallotted]

Keep forgiving me I hope?

[swiftlet]

I intend to keep trying.

[dreamsallotted]

That's all I ask. Thank you.

[And if you can hear me Thiede....Thank you again.]

[swiftlet]

You're welcome.

I'm not going to lose you, Seel.

[dreamsallotted]

Good.

[Seel bowed his head]

I don't plan on losing you either.

[swiftlet]

Thank you. That helps to hear.
