[One dark brown eye fills the screen. There are flecks of honey in that brown eye.]

I don't see anyone in there.

[She pulls the communicator away, brushing back a lock of her always difficult dirty-blonde hair. She's had a hard life and she's somewhere in her 30s.]

Well, that little white beast said that there were people I could talk to on this thing. And that my world was destroyed by the darkness. So how did I get here, huh? Why wasn't a wizard like Schmendrick spared? Or the Unicorn? They're both more powerful than I am and the Unicorn can fight the dark.

[More softly.] What's the point of being a wizard if you end up being the one needing to be saved? Damn that man. [Despite her angry words and tone, she's worried about him. He has become so dear to her.] And damn these demons for doing this.

[He purses his lips thoughtfully. On a simple first impression, she reminds him just the slightest bit of Belle. And that is reason enough to answer.] No, I don't have any plans on that, deary.

[youthfulheart]

Then that's the important part.

[intogold]

Well, yes, I imagine it is. [Another little laugh and a shrug.] Perhaps I'll even do my best to play nice.

[youthfulheart]

[She laughs.] I do hope you will.

[intogold]

I try not to disappoint, deary.

[A pause and he adds.] It's been lovely talking with you. If there's something I can do to help you settle in more comfortably, do let me know, mm?

[youthfulheart]

To be sure. And you do the same.
