02 // baby it's cold outside // video

[pacifyinghand]

[the video function clicks on, showing... a close-up of rumpled fabric. a blanket? something is moving underneath it. it seems someone's foot turned the device on, and now it's recording voices in the background... the first, soft and gentle, is a woman's - Lilith's.]

Ah, your hands are cold...

[another voice - this one, decidedly less female,

[Have a slightly jealous Caterina all the same. ;p]

[pacifyinghand]

[don't be jealous, Duchess. there's room for one more <3 it's a big blanket!]

[stray_cardinal]

[We'll try. But we're much too proper for cuddling. If you believe that. <3]

Forgive my intrusion. I just wanted to welcome you. I see Father Nightroad has things well in hand.

[pacifyinghand]

Ah-- [this is some more awkward rustling in the background. o-oh, the device is on... where is it?]

Voice

[sancta_sedes]

I have b-blankets I could give... if you're r-really that cold.

[You mean there's another way to take this situation? Well, it doesn't occur to him at all.]

Voice

[pacifyinghand]

[she'll kindly switch to voice as well, Alec. this pesky thing <3]

Please don't worry. Abel and I are making due, even if his hands are a little troublesome.

Are you keeping warm?

Voice

[sancta_sedes]

I-it's been a hard w-winter here. But, I'm g-glad to hear things are d-doing well.

I am, I've b-been sick, so Sister has been t-taking care of me.

Voice

[pacifyinghand]

Sick? Have you seen a doctor, yet?

[playwitchu]

*He/she isn't sure just what the heck he/she just saw.*

[pacifyinghand]

[just Mommy and Daddy trying to get warm! really!]

[playwitchu]

*His ears perked a little forward.*

What arrrre you doing?

[pacifyinghand]

Ah...

[someone is picking up the device! it's Lilith. a smile of apology]

I'm sorry... I must've hit something.

[pacifyinghand]

[lkjwer turning the device a bit - enjoy that shot of the ceiling a second, before she picks it up! she looks a little confused. this was on?]

Eald'narche?

[pacifyinghand]

[ahhh, an apologetic smile]

Ah, how long has this been on? I'm sorry... I didn't realize.

[cozmic_travel]

Hmm... you must be the one he spoke of.

[pacifyinghand]

[have a briefly disorienting shot of the ceiling as she picks up the device - and then one of her face as she offers a small smile.]

It's on... I'm sorry. This button is fragile, isn't it? It turns on so easily...

It's nice to meet you. I'm Lilith.

[cozmic_travel]

The pleasure's mine, Lilith-san.

I am Dr. Eirin Yagokoro. I'm a friend of Abel's.

[pacifyinghand]

Dr. Yagokoro. [Abel has so many friends, here; it's surreal...]

Have you been here long?
