[001C - Video]
[Caim is officially in the area. He's been given a room and an occupation. He doesn't even have to share with anyone. Isn't he a lucky guy? His room is barren. Of course it is. He came with nothing, except his sword, armour, and the clothes he wore. He's not wearing the armour, but he is wearing the same clothes, bloodstained and wonderful. Wearing

...Is that a kid?]
"......"
[Caim stares for a few moments and finally lifts his notepad.]
"Yes. Hello to you as well."

Mister, why aren't you talking?

He gathers up what remaining patience he has.]
"I am incapable of it."
[No. Caim's never been very good at talking to kids. But it seems Skarmory will tell him if he's used words that are too big.]

What is...in-cayp-uble?

Excuse the prince while he fixes himself. He's not used to kids. Well, minus creepy possessed ones, and a rather clingy blond with green eyes.]
"I cannot speak. I am mute."
[Not that he knows if Skarmory understands what a mute is, but not being able to speak should be pretty clean cut.]

...That's sad, mister. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't talk.
I don't think my Mommy or Big Brother would understand me.
[Ramble ramble, little kid talk.]

"It is a minor issue."
[A minor inconvenience, is how he actually would have put it, but he assumes Skarmory wouldn't understand that word either.
He writes to demonstrate for the young one.]
"I can still write."

[No, he is insistent this is sad. And he would be sad for you.]
I guess...[He digressed.] It's good I can read a little then. So I could understand you anyway.

Caim thinks over that and he tilts his head before shaking it slightly. Really. Caim's not bothered by it, so he doesn't think Skarmory should be either.]
"I'll try to make things easier."
[Kids. One of Caim's few weaknesses. He's never forgiven himself for all the ones he slayed to get to the Empire. Well, maybe he has. It might just be the reason he's such a bad guy.]

Okay, mister! That sounds okay!
[Skarmory was HAPPY. What a nice man!]
My name's Skarmory, what's you name?

What kind of name is Skarmory? Then again, who is Caim to judge? It's as intriguing as all of the other names that came out of Caerleon and the surrounding cities.]
"Caim."
[The implied wording there is, "It's nice to meet you," except Caim's not feeling so immensely polite yet. Give him some time.]

[He pronounced it right too! Aren't you proud of him?]
Are you a teacher like my Mommy, Caim?

But the more Skarmory says it, the more Caim really is reminded of Seere. But at least Skarmory sounds better than Verdelet's incessant whining.
He shakes his head in response to Skarmory's question.]
"An assistant to one of the instructors here."
[Although Caim imagines he could have a world to teach the younger ones. Nothing good, however, aside from how to cut people down and pilot dragons and what not.]
