[The microphone crackles for a moment, Lutha struggling to get his tablet in place to speak properly. His voice is just as sullenly tired as usual, though his words have taken a sharp, cross tone.]

Oi. We need to talk.

Last I checked, there's over two dozen of us wandering around this nightmare trap by the museum. Still no food source. Shouldn't be a problem if we have that many people to go in and out, except getting rations takes time, and we can't just have two or three people working on it blindly. Yeah, I know, we just fucking talked about this, what, two weeks ago? But we need some better damn coordination than what we have right now or guess what? You'll all starve to death.

Look. If you're still stuck in this damn maze of tunnels, regardless of what the fuck you're doing, then say something here. We need a damn head count. If you don't want to say specifics about where exactly you are, then just don't. Not my business. I just need to know amounts.

If you're bothering to run rations for anyone in here, either say something here or just talk to me privately. How much you can carry and how fast you can get through this place without hurting yourself are key, and keep in fucking mind it takes almost an entire week to get from that museum to food and back.

[A pause. He lets out a tight breath, a muffled sound against the mic as he rubs at his face with his hand.]

And if you're even thinking to come over here to join the mess of people already crawling through here, use your head a little. Don't just add to the people that are already fighting for food unless you have someone around here to actually back you up reasonably.

Can we just fucking do that much? Alright? Sound easy enough?

[He doesn't answer that before the feed ends.]

What, you want me to hold it for you? I suppose I could manage that.

You know, I'm just fucking with you.

A-Andersen, please!

[francel is calmer and less flustered than lutha, but he sure still sounds like someone who's been caught doing something he shouldn't.]

I was not flirting. I've never even seen the man!

I-I meant I would shut him up! With — with my fists, or a knife, or some such! And anyroad, he said something about my fingers! Where do you get tonguing out of this?

[we're sorry, grandpa...]

And I could never be interested in a Hyu — in — in someone that isn't another elf!

[ordinarily, francel hates being so easily seen through — but it's been a while now since anyone but haurchefant was kind to him, and being seen through seems better than not being seen. somehow, the strangely intimate way that andersen says you aren't the sort — as if they've known each other years and years — soothes francel and softens his ill humor.]

A-Ah, well...

[the soft, quiet voice of the usual francel.

...but telling the full truth involves admitting that he accidentally posted shirtless videos of his fellow elezen to the network a few weeks ago...]


He... I know not this man's name nor his face, but he insulted me and my companions some days prior. He — I suppose he hails from a world where elves are slaves and prostitutes, so he insinuated that we Elezen were as such, among other foul things. My countrymen seemed content to let the matter go, but... even I have my pride...

...

[francel is silent for a good long while. andersen isn't wrong... no, andersen isn't wrong at all, but it's strange to be given such level-headed advice after so many long weeks — so many long years of having no one to really offer him guidance.

it's kind of unsettling, honestly. it's like having a proper father show up twenty-two years too late.]


...I suppose...

[another long pause, and then francel adds, in a voice simultaneously defensive and prideful:]

...But as a wordsmith, Andersen, surely you can appreciate my ability to use his own words against him!

Micro... what?

[what's a microwave?? he's a fantasy elf, andersen, don't confuse him with your 20th-century contraptions!]

...Well, be that as it may, I understand the analogy, I suppose...

[teasing, despite himself:]

I generally do not expect small children to have opinions on strong right hooks, Andersen.
