[When the camera turns on, it shows... trees. Tropical trees. Like those on the island. The view doesn't stay stationary for long, though; it starts jerking around, as if someone's just shaking it. If one watches carefully, one might catch a glimpse of a teenaged boy with blue hair and green eyes.]

[that kid looks familiar. And after all the other overly familiar kids?]

Oh, I certainly hope this is some sick joke.

2/2

[latentfates]

[He clears his throat, straightens his posture, and his expression sobers.]

[alphaophiuchi]

I have absolutely no idea what you just said. I recommend either English, or figure something else out.

[latentfates]

[Aïs opens his mouth, but then he closes it. He knows that expression, that tone. He sighs, then lifts his hand and presses it against his chest. Then, clearly, he says one word that doesn't sound like English, but he makes direct eye contact with the other person.]

Aïs.

[alphaophiuchi]

[not quite the name he'd expected, but it's...close enough, isn't it? He gestures to his own self, raising one brow thoughtfully.]

...Draco.

[latentfates]

[Aïs nods, and then repeats it.] Draco... [Okay. Got it.

Next, he gestures to the fox sitting next to him. Her fur lightens as she shifts forms. Her ears are perked curiously.] Seyana.

[alphaophiuchi]

[everyone and their foxes- Another of those companion-things? He tips his head slightly to one side, still looking vaguely sceptical.]

Charmed, I'm sure.

[latentfates]

[... well. How will he get this question across... He looks around him. He's standing on top of light dirt, and if he could find a good stick... He pauses, and then turns to his tablet, holds up a finger, and sets it down on the ground.

After a couple of minutes, he picks it back up again and to show Draco a picture he drew in the dirt that he drew with a stick now in his hand. He points at it with his stick.]

Lae? [His tone is questioning. Does he know him?]

[alphaophiuchi]

[Draco waits, sighing in mild exasperation as he watches, then raises his brows before slowly shaking his head. He's never seen anyone who looks like that in his life.]

[latentfates]

[Oh. Aïs looks disappointed. The fox's tail, which was being held in the air, droops. Well, then... Aïs next gestures around him and tilts his head questioningly. Where is he?]

[alphaophiuchi]

An island. [should he sign that somehow? How do you even do that? Draw a little island?

[Well, that involves paper. Alternatively, he pulls out his wand and draws an island in the middle of the air - it glows and animates itself, with a tiny palm tree blowing in the nonexistent wind.]

[latentfates]

[Aïs blinks. Interesting magic... Much more efficient than sticks and dirt.

So... He's on an island. But... That's... How? Just in case his expression isn't confused-looking enough, he scratches his head.]

[alphaophiuchi]

[quite. Draco Malfoy dirties his hands for no one.

[That said, he shrugs.] Can't say how you got there. I'd assume the boat. [and at this point, he just gestures with the wand, and a tiny boat glows out and away from the island back to a doodle of the city. He really is such a shite artist.]

[latentfates]

[Aïs shakes his head. He doesn't remember anything like that.]

[alphaophiuchi]

[he flaps his hand, and the entire drawing disappears in a puff.]

So what now?
