[ It's been a while since Killian's bothered with the network, and anyone familiar will notice some obvious changes. He's looking 50% less pirate, for one, though he probably still qualifies as a modern facsimile. His hook's out of view as he addresses the camera, flashing a broad, agreeable smile. ]

I realize we've all got more pressing matters to attend to, but if you've a moment for a quick question—

[ A brief pause. He probably should've thought this out before starting the feed. Instead he's running on irritation, and it's only now that he's second-guessing the idea of being completely upfront. Gold may be gone, but the ship isn't precisely full of saints. Telling them his heart's gone missing is a vulnerability he'd rather keep off the table.

And even if they haven't got villainous intent, he's pretty sure the majority of them will just make bad jokes. Vague it is. ]

[ ???????? ?? ]

I've agreed to fight quite a few individuals of late, actually. I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.

I'm not wasting my time. It's not like you'll suddenly remember him if I tell him his name.

How many is 'quite a few'?

[ Yeah no, probably not.

And also he's full of shit, so. ]

Fewer than you have, I imagine. You seem to make quite the habit of it.

I get bored easily. That's why I've so been looking forward to this. You're giving me my entertainment for the month.

[very important.]

Try not to be disappointing.
