[The video turns on to reveal a very very skeptical face. Very skeptical, and he shakes the communicator a moment before clearing his throat.]

Right. So... the, ah, completely normal little talking mini-pig, er, things... have been helpful enough to answer some questions. But frankly, I'm still feeling a little in the dark here.

More than a little.

[A wave of his hand.] Look, I guess this is supposed to let me talk to people. Which is great. Yay new friends. [This is all said quite flatly. He does not sound excited in the least.] I'm sure you're all fantastic. But I'm a little on the busy side. So if anyone could lend a hand, that would be fantastic.

First. I need a blonde. [Pause.] A very specific blonde. Small, perky. Dragging around about a million feet of impressively shiny hair. She goes by Rapunzel which, yes, I agree, is a mouthful. Anyway, we were separated and we've got a deal to complete. [Maybe he's just a little worried about her.]

And beyond that... [He lifts his hand to show that a small and rather determined chameleon is clinging to his wrist, despite his best efforts to shake it off.] I've got a very insistent frog to return to her. ...as soon as possible would be nice. I'm afraid it might turn violent.

Second. Where am I and how do I make it so that I am not here anymore? I have things to do. People to see. Kingdoms to escort blonds with frogs to.

No time for this weird abducted-to-a-strange-new-world business, thank you very much.

[ she lowers her eyes then, frowning lightly ]

Kiba did not make it here with this one...

Kiba your boyfriend?

Well, hey, look. It's tough being on your own. But if you're good at keeping hidden when trouble's around, that's a pretty good skill.

[He's super reassuring, isn't he? It's a skill. ...oh no wait, yeah, he's not the best at it.]

Kiba is a wolf, he is not a boyfriend.

[ well. that should tell him that she has no idea what a boyfriend is. she smiles when he tries to reassure her, giving a small laugh ] Thank you.

Oh. So... he's your... pet?

[Flynn is so confused. Help him here, Cheza.]

Kiba is not a pet, he is a friend. He protects this one along with the other wolves.

Right. So... how many wolves are we talking exactly?

[Wolves being protectors are a little stranger than chaperoning chameleons.]

There is...Kiba, Tsume, Toboe, and Hige. There are more though, but they are in hiding and living with humans.

Hiding and living with humans. Yeah, sure. That sounds... ah...

[A little crazy.] So you hang out with wolves. But they didn't make it here with you.

[ she shakes her head ] What about you? Are your friends here?

Oh no no. I don't do friends. I'm a lone wolf. An island unto myself. A rock.

You must have some companions. It would be lonely otherwise...

I don't do lonely either. Never saw the sense in it. I'm fine on my own, so why bemoan it.

[He's totally fully of it; he just hasn't admitted this even to himself yet.]

...You are lying.

Hey. It's not nice to accuse people of lying, you know. [He's a super honest thief.]

But you are lying. This one knows it is not easy being alone.

You know it's not easy for you. We're clearly different people. I operate solo. Well, most of the time anyway.

Most of the time?

Every now and again a job will require more than just one pair of hands. And then lately I've found myself playing guide to this sheltered blonde and he frog.

Is that your new job?

Job? Well, I suppose you could call it a temporarily contracted position. Emphasis on the temporary.
