[ The camera is clearly propped up neatly on a desk. He's leaning forward onto the desk, head in his hand as his focus is directly on it. He's wearing red, a rare pick for him, since he knows the white is a bit too much of a tell. And, there's at least a couple sets of visible wings: including the ones on top of his head. ]

I feel like we're getting a warm welcome with this rather persistent rain. For those more experienced than myself: is this common? I want to assume that it's not, since I imagine this city would be better equipped to handle constant flooding.

[ He shifts, leaning back away from the camera. ]

I know I'd rather be learning more about this city, the Prismals, and the types of people who arrived here from other worlds. Everything seems pretty fascinating. The different cultures, the history, the interesting and advanced technology.

So I'll ask, if you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?

Let's pretend that there's no consequences for your actions. You can do whatever your heart desires. If you don't want the world to know, you can be anonymous, though I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of.

He’s here. But he has a cold, and I don’t want to catch it…

[ though with any luck, his brother will actually be over it soon. ]

[recidivate]

A cold? From the rain?

[ people are so fragile; and yes, he is suggesting this ]

Well, everything here does seem to be pretty temporary, even death. I wouldn't worry too much.

[passio]

But I don’t want him to die from a cold.

[ there’s just a moment of frustration in his tone, but it’s gone as quickly as it bubbled up. he shakes his head. ]

…have you ever been sick? It’s terrible.

[recidivate]

...Most people don't.

[ He pauses, considering the question. ]

I've never been sick before and under normal circumstances, I don't think I can.

Though this place is among the strangest places I've seen, so who knows what to expect here.

Do you get sick often?

[passio]

[ dextera breathes out through his nose, thoughtful, at the question. ]

Not from a cold. It’s a sickness of the mind. But most people have something like that. The world adapts to us, and we adapt to it. That kind of sickness can be lived with.

[ It's harder to play this with someone who knows him, so he's - doing what he can to keep his answers almost vague. ]

Adapting is necessary for continued survival. I don't know if that's a good thing that most people have something like that. Does it not impact your ability to adapt?
