[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 assuming they must be since they seem rather put out that I might feel a little sorry for the people he's interacted with without supervision. Or be the one who has to take responsibility for him.

Can't imagine why. [She frowns, remembering Seel's drunken post about Pell. It doesn't seem like he even knows how to be nice to anyone.]

Was he that obvious?

I've never met a bigger asshole.

[And...well. She's met a lot of people.]

[He actually laughs at that.]

He's not even half as bad as some hara I could name, but I do appreciate that he isn't exactly easy to get along with.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry for whatever he did. Is there something I can do to make up for it? [Or make Seel do. Whichever.]

Keep him from dragging Pell through the mud again.

[Jo can handle Seel's attitude. Hell, she even tried to make friendly with him. But she won't let him hurt Pell.]

That, at least, I can do.

[She'll wait and see before she believes that.]

Good luck.

I have kept hold of him for 30 years. As well as could be expected, anyway. I do understand if you don't believe me, but hopefully he'll be more agreeable with me here.

As long as he's out of the house I'll be fine.

For now we've decided to stay in another building. I apologize if we disturbed you. [While they were fighting.]

I'm not certain whether Pell wants visitors. He may need one or the other of us after a while.

I took care of Pell last time. [Seel wasn't much help.]

George and I can take care of him again.

No offense, but you can't give him what another har can.

[She snorts, laughing quietly.]

No offense, but I'm pretty sure you two need to work out your own issues. Just because I can't have sex with him doesn't mean I'm worthless.

I didn't say you were. I'm sure you're quite capable of helping him as much as you can.

I don't see how our issues have anything to do with keeping Pell alive.

I don't think he needs to see a relationship in action right now.

I'm not sure what you mean. It's only aruna. He'll need it or want it eventually. Everyhar does.

[She frowns again, sighing before she speaks.]

Let it be on his terms, then.

I'm not going to force myself on him. Or make him do anything he doesn't want. But it isn't healthy to abstain. And as helpful and caring as I'm certain you are, you won't be able to give him that.

I'm only concerned for him.

Get in line. [She sighs quietly.]

It's hard to lose someone once, but...twice? It sucks.

I know. I'm not expecting him to come running. But he also can't hide forever.

I don't think he will.

[She hopes he won't.]

I sincerely hope you're right.

[That's the spirit.]

Me too.
