[She fiddles with the communicator, almost impatiently, until she finds out how to record and broadcast a video. And then it's recording and those that watch are greeted to a teenager and she's holed up somewhere that's hard to place.

Screw you all, she's not leaving herself open or anywhere you could hunt her down.]

I want to talk to someone called Elrond. About the woman Galadriel.

[That's it. That's the message.]

I'm not sure what else to ask. I actually hadn't thought beyond that. [Well, she knows what she should do but...] I suppose I should apologize to her.

[summerlord]

Then perhaps you would like to simply speak? I am at your disposal. [He lets himself smile.] It is not necessary, but she will appreciate the gesture.

[adapt_or_die]

Can you tell me about where we are? Why we're here?

[video]

[summerlord]

I do not know much of the Tranquility beyond this: you must be alert and you would do well to forge alliances [friendships, he means] where you can.

[video]

[adapt_or_die]

[Excellent choice of words.]

I will remember that. And I'm always alert, my father taught me to think on my feet. Even when I am sleeping.

[summerlord]

Then he did well by you. [Not that he knows exactly, but he would rather they keep speaking, just so he can learn a little about her.]

[video]

[adapt_or_die]

He did. He taught me everything I know, how to hunt and fight, mathematics and writing. Everything.

[And yet still not enough.]

[video]

[summerlord]

You respect him. It seems well-earned.

[video]

[adapt_or_die]

He's all I've ever had. Of course I do.

[She can't see any reason not to. Even for his lies. Lies told to protect her.]

[video]

[summerlord]

Then you have been blessed. [He knows there's more -- there always is. But she speaks well of him and that's usually enough.]

[video]

[adapt_or_die]

I like to think so. [So much more but she's not quite the type to talk about it so freely.]

[video]

[summerlord]

[He nods, expression soft. It's good to see that she at least has that. (Or had, as the case may be, since there's no way to tell what happened in her world and it's unlikely he is on the ship, the way she speaks.)]

Have you need of anything, you may call upon me, Hanna.

[video]

[adapt_or_die]

[That's not entirely expected. Hanna isn't used to help or offers of it if she needs anything. She smiles though.]

Thank you, I'll remember that.

[Remember but probably not bother him, or anyone else, unless she absolutely needs it.]
