[The video turns on and there is a bronze skinned lady with long silver hair. Her face is quite close to the screen, inspecting it.]

Hmm, and interesting way of communication. I wonder...

[She taps the screen, then pulls back]

Ah well. Greetings ladies and more ladies. It seems the Queen has invited me to these gardens. My name is Urd, and I am looking forward to making special memories with everyone here. Is there anything you gals want to know about me?

I do have a few questions about this place. Is there anyone here with high magical abilities here?

[The vine turns on to the image of Kazumi in a room you might not recognize if you don't know what the inside of Akira Satou's apartment looks like. Even if you do, you might not recognize it: everything's been cleaned up and organized and it looks like there's at least 3 things cooking in the kitchen right now]

It's definitely a lot more fun cooking for more people. It's hard cooking just one serving, so you end up eating the same thing for a while if you're by yourself. Cooking for other people means you get to cook new things more often! Though...

[The girl looks over at the stove, ahoge twitching before she turns back to the vine]

...I think I might have made too much! So, um, Akira, if there's anyone you want to bring over for dinner, well... tonight would be a good night? I got all my things moved in [It was mostly food and cooking stuff. Your fridge has never been so stocked] and wanted to make something nice to celebrate but I kind of went overboard, eheh... I just really wanted to thank you for this! And for the kiss, hehe.

[She giggles and blushes a little, then remembers the vine's still showing and turns her attention back to it, all happy, innocent smiles again]

Anyway! Who else out there likes cooking? The party made me think, there's probably people here who are from different places with aaaaall sorts of different cooking! We should exchange recipes!

[The video feed shows that someone's cranky and impatient today.

Agrias sits by the vine, sighing, face resting on a gloved hand and tapping the other on her knee, eyes narrowed a bit. When she speaks, she sounds pretty annoyed.]

I have but a simple inquiry for the denizens of the gardens. Does it usually take this long for an enemy to make themselves known to us? It has been a while since this Pirate Queen or whatnot made her threat known, and yet there has been hardly a sign of her.

[She bites on her thumb a bit and snorts, letting out some frustration and stress.]

I have never...dealt with one so polite or formal in their threats that used it not to mask their condescension. This is new to me and I must admit I am unsure how I am supposed to approach this. Even with my sense of chivalry about me, you rarely see such manners transferred to the battlefield.

[This is so embarrassing you guys. A knight, antsy to do justice, and almost feeling sympathy for who she'd slay. She doesn't remember the last knave she fought that was worth such praise.]

I thought dashing, mannerly rogues only existed in children's stories and uncouth romance novels for bored noblewomen.
