[Week 11, day 4] [video]
[There are several things going on at once in this video post here. For one, there's several nomads hurrying around their camp, and they look as if they're very agitated by something. They're quite pointedly not going anywhere near where the hitomi is recording from, though occasionally they glance in that direction with worried looks. Over in a corner is a fresh bloodstain, though there's no body visible anywhere. Near the bloodstain are some suspiciously large scorch marks as well, and it looks almost as if someone took a flamethrower to some of the grass and bushes. One side of a tent is partially burned as well, though it looks like the fire was put out fairly quickly.
The camera pans around a few times, and anyone familiar with the area should be able to tell that it's not too far from Hisato, and in fact the city is just barely visible on the horizon at one point. After panning around the camp a few times the hitomi picks up a rather loud and annoyed sigh, and suddenly it's put down on the ground.
And then it becomes clear that the hitomi was being held by a very, very large dragon. Said dragon is also very displeased at the moment, most likely because there are several ropes tied around her front legs at the moment. So she's resigned herself to sitting on the ground and fuming quietly.]
I said I would pay for the cow.
[Now she considers the device in front of her with more interest. She's never seen anything like this before in her life, and at first she had thought it was just a jewel of some sort, but one of the braver nomads took a moment to explain what it was to her. Of course, the whole idea was laughable to her. Sending messages instantly? Even the fastest courier dragons took time to get anywhere, so she failed to see how something like this could work. Still, she wanted to test it, if only to see if she could find some use for it.]
Would somebody send my Granby to come clear this mess up? These silly humans are not listening to reason, and they will not accept my capital. They do not believe me when I say I will stay here without being tied up, as if I am a common thief or something.
[If anything, she sounds more disgruntled about being tied up than about what these nomads think of her.]
