( nothing about what's happened since nuala made her choice makes a great deal of sense to her. she lives, inexplicably, but there is a wound in her where once her brother was; a hollowness she can't account for, in point of fact the very opposite of what she might have imagined her afterlife to consist of. dressed in strange clothes and adrift in a place even stranger than the BPRD's headquarters, handling truly peculiar technology--
--it is all very small, in the wake of that most important detail. it is, however, a sort of smallness that permits her anything else to think on while she gathers herself enough to, perhaps, investigate its cause. her first contribution to the comms network is therefore simultaneously accidental and very much with purpose: a period of audio recording where nothing much seems to be happening, video of Nuala's hands as she turns the device over several times, of her face as she examines it. audio, again-- an exasperated sigh, a little jostle, and then a startled vocalization followed by a bit of scrambling, and then, finally--
Nuala, having at some point prior to this transmission found her way to the room she's been allocated, looks composed of nothing but determination to be composed. )
Hello.

Is there more you were hoping to say? One needn't be shy.

I confess, I had hoped that I would know what I meant to say when I had someone before me to whom I might say it.

Her eyes are different. Still, Tauriel feels a greater sense of familiarity with her than with the humans here. She doesn't know how to make the little device in her hands do anything other than video, which in itself confuses her. She tries not to think too hard about it, and simply uses what is put before her. ]
Hello, my Lady.
It is strange to speak like this - for both of us, I think.

But I did not sense her thoughts. I ... cannot.
Parted like an ocean with a new gulf between them, the link that has always bound them has dwindled to almost nothing on his side and clearly, judging by her conversations, for Nuala too. Is it any wonder, he thinks, when they died together? Perhaps that was the catalyst for this ... punishment. He doesn't know what to say to her. Should he apologise? That would be useless. Meaningless, even, after all they have gone through. Nuada paces before redressing in his leather armour, weapons locking into place between tense shoulders and at a hip, their family seal giving his fingers pause as he ties the red sash around his waist. That Morgoth is out there roaming free is his immediate concern. She looks so much like his mirror-image, the monster would know in an instant of their relation.
Nuada heads out after faltering on his sore leg, picking up a capable stride and flicking the device to Audio. Easier, that way. ]
Make sure you have a locked door between you and the rest of the passengers. Where are you?
[ Clipped and businesslike, he can deal with his duty to Nuala first, that doesn't bother him and he wants to make sure she's safe. Hasn't he always? Their quarrelling can wait a little longer.
As can the pain in his heart, albeit not placed there by her dagger. ]

--she doesn't think on it. she has mastered the device sufficiently to make the shift without needing to. )
In my given quarters. Is there a danger?
( a specific one, she means; they both know she's bright enough to recognize there are plenty of dangers here, however unfamiliar she may be. )

There is an open book he is ostensibly taking a break from. ]
It could stand to be a touch more intuitive, couldn't it?

I find most of human technology to be that way, although I'm hesitant, presently, to ascribe it to your kind with any certainty.

for he is also drinking.
And has been drinking.
Light from the comms device ghosts over the hard edges at his nose and brow; bleaches his eyes and glances cold off the metal pen he has poised mid-sentence. He's staring, thought lost to a slow blink now that he's drawn her into focus. ]
What the hell are you?

I am in possession of simple courtesy. I would suggest it's something with which you acquaint yourself.
