ＶＩＤＥＯ.

[savoy]

[ in contrast to the first time he'd addressed the network, aramis manages to keep the camera level from the start this time. he clears his throat, taking off his hat — it's all done deliberately, for effect, and the amused glint in his eyes underlines that. ]

It has come to my attention — [ a beat. ] that while my friend Porthos and I had the good grace to introduce ourselves to the ship at large, [ more like threaten everyone aboard ] not everyone is so courteous.

[ he holds up a piece of paper. on it is a drawing of athos, perhaps not quite as well done as the drawing linked to here but certainly a passable likeness. ]

This is Athos, a fellow musketeer. He enjoys wine, justice, and brooding. If you run into him, do say hello. He will be sure to appreciate it.

[ he manages to keep a straight face through all of it, but when he reaches for the camera to turn it off, the corners of his mouth are trembling upwards. ]

Has he met my friend Fenris? Have you met my friend Fenris? Tall elf, white hair, covered in the most remarkable tattoos?

I'm sure he'd appreciate it just as much if you made a point to say hello to him as well.

[ Cheeky sorts know their own when they see them. Hawke similarly keeps a straight face, but doesn't keep from injecting the amusement into her tone. ]

[savoy]

I have not. [ a beat, and he is quite decidedly smiling now. ] But I will be sure to give him my regards, should I see him.

[championofkirkwall]

Excellent! I'm afraid I have very little in the way of artistic talents, or I would provide a rendition of him myself. [ Also he might use her for target practice. That might happen. ]

I'm Hawke, by the way.

[savoy]

I will not mention how long it has taken me to render this likeness of Athos.

[ he hints at a bow. ] Aramis.

[meloncholy]

I've met Fenris. [ - pipes up an entirely different Musketeer.]

Good second in a fight.

[savoy]

Something to keep in mind, perhaps?

[meloncholy]

[A nod.] I bumped into him before we met up, during the trouble a while ago. I don't know what it's called - [the various classifications are a little above Porthos' head] - but he's got a little extra up his sleeves and I'm not talking about a spare King.

[ well, not so much for a while. for a while he just does this. ]

[aeipathos]

that is how you perceive my appearance?

[unmakes]

Hello, Athos.

[ and thanks for showing up, that made saying hello like 100x easier.

(this counts, right guys??) ]

[aeipathos]

[ oh god dammit.

not that he's not... okay with making new friends, but. aramis he's going to slap you u'd better run u lil swashbuckling piece of shit ]

Hello. I'm afraid I'm at a loss, as my half of the introduction was handled rather for me.

[unmakes]

You could pretend it wasn't, if that helps.

Like....

Hi, I'm Sally. Athos, was it?

Y U MAKE HIM TYPE ATHOS :/

[savoy]

i think it a rather passable likeness

porthos uses video, it's super effective (also his spelling is atrocious)

[meloncholy]

Well, he is smiling. [Purposeful pause to let that sink in for comedic value.] But you certainly captured the eyes.

[savoy]

but i will admit that i am not an artist

he's making you type because he's looking for you and it's easier

[aeipathos]

And you decided I must be introduced to the entire ship because...?

[skjalf]

I greet you well once again, Monsieur.

You have fairly become a social butterfly as a result of this, I fear.

[aeipathos]

Avec plaisir.

I am not apt to become as such; there is little need to worry.

[ex_halberd259]

Would he appreciate talk of the weather as much as a hello?

( the opportunity presented itself. )

[savoy]

I am quite certain that he would, indeed.

[ex_halberd259]

Does he prefer sunshine and few clouds or tempests and storms?

[skjalf]

( having met the man himself, she can tell the joke for what it is, and can barely restrain her own smile. )

I must say that you are quite good at making friends for him, Aramis.

[savoy]

I try my best.

[ and look how pleased he is at the compliment as well. ]

[skjalf]

And how splendidly you succeed!

( that smile just cannot be contained. she laughs softly, her eyes dancing. )

Did you draw that likeness of him yourself?

[There's just the sound of laughter in the background from the other side of the feed. It doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon.]
