[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 think I'm involved more than I'd like to be.

[swiftlet]

That isn't exactly my fault.

[hot_mes]

And look, I wasn't blaming you for it. [so much sarcasm]

Who I choose to associate with is my business. But I was being sincere when I said I would treat him - all Wraeththu, if they need. It's just what I do.

[swiftlet]

I'm not saying don't associate with him. Or that I get any say over who you choose to speak with. And I appreciate what you've done for him. However, I still know him best of any of you, and I think I know by now how he behaves when I'm not looking.

[hot_mes]

Fair enough, but you're dealing with a load of people who don't care how he behaves.

[not everyone, clearly but...eh. Law definitely doesn't care]

[swiftlet]

And yet there are also more than few who've told me his behavior has been appalling.

[hot_mes]

How terrible. [even more snark. The snarkiest]

The only thing that I need to know is, if you have a problem with anyone, are you going to say so directly or let Seel-ya take responsibility for you in turn?

[swiftlet]

I like to believe that I take responsibility for myself, however if that proves not to be the case, I would certainly hope that he would. [He doubts that will happen, but he can hope.]
