first flight. ( voice. video. )
[There are two voices, speaking in a low murmurs. One voice rises over the other, and now you can hear the last of a conversation:]
--no damn leads. This better work--
[The voice is clearer now. It sounds Australian-accented, and a little confused.]
Come on, you stupid plant. The scroll said you're supposed to help. [A beat, and the voice gains an irritated edge.] Now, I've been real patient and understanding so far. Wouldn't press my luck if I were you.
[and the video flicks on. The woman is standing in front of the mirror, and there is the barest flicker of surprise on her face before she calms down.] Well, isn't that something. Magic if I've ever seen it. Can't believe I'm talking to a damn plant.
[She straightens up, just slightly. Her body language is relaxed, almost lazy. But there is a heavy, dangerous-looking spear strapped to her back, and her easy, confident smirk doesn't quite reach her eyes.] Not much in the mood for introductions, so let me get straight to the point. I don't know who or what thought it was a good idea to send me and Vanille here, but whoever it is, I'm gonna make sure they regret it, and soon. We haven't got time to waste here.
