Arrival; [Video]

[sonofagautier]

The gear's feed flickers in to a rather disheveled looking redhead that clearly doesn't want to be doing this. Because goddess and all the saints, he does not want to be doing this. Asking for help is already a task. Asking for help within a brand new world he cannot even begin to comprehend? Nightmare scenario. He's clearly lost and disoriented, and there's music and a fire pony following him around. Really, the only good thing is the fire pony- ponyta- whatever.

"Okay, don't know what this is, where this is going, or who's on the other end, but I can read instructions well enough to get to this point. Hi, Sylvain here, no clue where I am besides a very unhelpful 'New Bark Town' sign a few paces back, and I found a horse on fire. A baby horse, err, or maybe a pony. So... help? Maybe? I'm not even sure what I'm asking here."

And the apparent cause of how much of a mess his red locks are becomes obvious as he sweeps a hand through it again like a nervous tick. Behind him, the camera is panned just enough for a ponyta to be seen running obviously bored laps back and forth. They're pretty clearly at the edge of town, the buildings of New Bark still somewhat visible. Sylvain didn't make it very far...

Being called such fond names again... It makes Dimitri's heart ache a little bit. He really cannot wait to see Sylvain again, after all this time. It will be good to see him in person, see him smile again.

But first, he has to get there.

"We want you to be happy as well, Sylvain," Dimitri says, pausing as he looks over the terminal for the warp pad. "I will be going through a warp pad right now - teleportation - but I will be soon right on Felix's heels. So... We will see each other again." Still, he has to pause, just a moment. "I know that Felix has a monopoly on all your time, Sylvain, but... I would like it if we, too, could spend some time together. It has felt.. far too long since we have been able to enjoy each other's company properly."

He knows. He's never really doubted that his friends have wanted him to be happy. That part hasn't been the issue. It's always been with himself. The sentiment is still enough to make his smile soften.

"Felix can only handle so much of me," he teases. "I'd like to spend time with you too. I missed you for a lot of years, and then the war, and you were- uh," what's a more gentle way of putting this other than bloodthirsty and slabbering for revenge? "-kinda antisocial for a bit."

Yeah, that's good.

"Since there's horse-ish creatures here. We should go leisure riding again, like when we were kids."

"I was nothing but a wretched inhuman thing," Dimitri corrects him, gently, although he knows there is a risk of one of the others overhearing this and interjecting. Still, he doesn't want Sylvain to feel as though he has to step delicately around the matter.

Wasn't it true, in the end?

"At any rate, I will call you back in a moment after I have gone through the warp, and possibly once I am up in the air. Do enjoy the food, won't you? There are so many wonderful foods here, and the people here want for little when it comes to choice."
