[Video] [Filtered from Lup Taaco]

[barold]

[There's a fidgety middle-aged man on your screens, a bespectacled man who looks like he has absolutely no clue what he's doing. Evidenced by the fact that only about half of his face is even in frame.]

Hello. Uh, no that's... G-Greetings! No that's worse...

[He sighs.]

Okay. Say that you, uh... completely hypothetically... haven't really seen your significant other in a while. Couple months. 'Cause of somethin' you did. Hy-Hypothetically. And you're hypothetically lookin' to get'em a little somethin' now that you're uh, back together again. Just a little present, like, nothin' special, j-just somethin' nice t'show y'love'em.

Your hypothetical significant other also already has everythin'. And they're magic.

[Barry hasn't gotten any answers yet, and he already looks demoralized.]

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Uh. Thanks for yer time. How do I make it stop record--

[At least the stranger on the horn was kind enough to private their conversation. Barry tries to get comfortable on his end.]

Uh... Sure, bud. 'M not sure if y'know Lup? Lup Taaco?

[He gestures, his hand about a foot over his own head.] About yea high, dark, blonde, beautiful. Elf, pointy ears. Got a twin brother.

[It honestly wouldn't surprise him if this man knows Lup - as far as he knows, she's befriended half the city at this point.]

She's th'one.

Are you fucking serious?

[barold]

I-I. Uh. Y-Yes?

[Barry looks a little flabbergasted at the stranger’s reaction. Sure, he assumed the man would have met Lup before, pretty much all of Hadriel have, but this? Not what he expected.]

I, uh. [He tries to lighten the atmosphere and calm his nerves with a quiet chuckle.] I’m assumin’ you’ve met her, then?

[nonscriptum]

Uh, yeah. I was one of the first people she met when she got here.

[Showed her how to become a public menace on a scooter, and everything.]

And you're...married to her?

[barold]

[Whoa, okay... A little more familiar with Lup than he'd expected, then. Barry squints at the man on the screen. Has he seen him before? Has Lup even described this guy to him?

She. literally never has. Hooboy...]

Yyyyeah. About, uh... [He clears his throat.] Married about sixty years now. G-Give or take.
