[ The camera comes on and here is Alayne Stone (yes, the same Alayne Stone that supposedly bled all over her bedroom floor when demons still ran amok on the Tranquility). To her credit, she's looking much better (much more healthy than she probably has any right to be). But that's the beside the point.
The camera comes on and here is Alayne Stone and she dips, giving the same perfunctory bow that she is known to give upon greeting. Though an effort has made to make herself look tidy, her brow is pinched with worry. Her words are quick and, often, she looks off camera at something out of sight. ]
My good Tranquility, [ she says in greeting, her clip not terse per say, but approaching it. ] I am looking for a man. I— I do not know his name, but should he see my face he will remember our acquaintance.
Twice now he has come to my aid. [ He avenged my death. He gave me a terrible knife. ] And— and I find myself in need of his aid once again. [ A pause and then, squaring her shoulders, she looks into the camera and says simply (as if it were directly to the man in question). ] It is a matter of wolves. Please— [ She is about to entreat him, but thinks better of it. (He does not seem the type to be swayed by begging.) ] —do not remain silent. I know you watch and listen.
I will eagerly await your word. [ A pause and then Alayne dips again, more awkwardly this time (she wishes she could say more). ] —thank you.

To the last part, he ducks his head and says with a smile:]
We have that in common then.
[With only that. The wolves are a piece to a larger picture, he feels little affection for them.]
What is your name?

Will I be given a name in return? I find it is best to converse with acquaintances than with strangers.

My name is Niklaus. But you may call me Klaus.
[He could use a false name, but he won't. If anyone recognizes his name, he'll know why.]

And the direwolf I seek is Lady.

I will be sure to give you a call if I run into your companion, Alayne.

I thank you for all your offer to help, and— and when Lady and I are once together, perhaps then I may better acquaint you.
