001 - video

[Ori is having a bit of difficulty working his 'smartphone'. There's a bewildered dwarvish face on the screen, face screwed up in confusion as he tries to fix it. A jumble of confused letters appear on the screen and his frown deepens. Finally, the screen clears to just Ori's face, young, pale, his braids messy and his beard unkempt.]

I-I think I'm lost. [His voice is pitched high with nervousness, his stutter more prevalent.] S-something is f-following me, I keep seeing...shapes and f-faces and things in the m-mirror.

[Ori's voice cracks, dropping to a whisper. His eyes are glittering with moisture.] I-I just want t-to go home. I d-don't want to die, I don't want anyone to die!

[The screen suddenly shifts and it becomes apparent that the young dwarf has thrown it across the hall. There's muffled sounds of crying for several minutes before it finally shuts off.]

Ori. [He pitches his voice to be heard; a gentle command.] Ori, pick up the device and answer me, please.

[The crying stops on a soft gasp, and after a moment Ori goes to pick it up.]

L-Lord Elrond. [He mops at his face, leaning against the wall and pulling his knees up to his chest.]

Ori. [His expression is soft.] What troubles you, Master Dwarf? [As if the answer isn't obvious, but if he can just get Ori to talking.]

Oh, I c-couldn't burden you w-with my troubles. [He manages a weak smile.]

[He'll focus on the more pressing issues, then. Swallowing, Ori glances around.]

I keep...seeing s-someone. Following me. A-and after what P-Prince Nuada said about a d-demon in the halls... [Ori lets that trail off, his voice trembling.]

[Elrond's expression is carefully, deliberately impassive. What Ori is seeing could be anything: a trick of the ship or Nuada's "demon" are both very real possibilities.]

Then keep moving, Master Ori. It will do no good to lose yourself to fear.

[The feed shifts, and it becomes apparent Ori is getting to his feet.]

I-I'm...I don't know wh-which way to go.
