[ Look who's finally figured out how to use the video feature! Though, admittedly, he's still hesitant about this particular function, and it shows on his face as he sits in front of the camera, looking at the image of himself before he remembers he's making one of these moving picture things. ]

I am aware that, with this relocation, there are many new changes for all of us to grow used to. I'd like, if I can, to make myself available. To anything anyone might need. A job or something similar. Something like that.

[ Gods be, why did he choose to make this a video? This must be the part where he lists his skills and qualifications. As a man who's never had to work a day in his life, his applicable skill, he knows, might be for an acquired profession. ]


If there are hunting parties seeking another member, I'm no stranger to the hunt. I am accomplished tournament knight. I've proven my merit on the battlefield, and I was designated Lord Commander of my king's Rainbow Guard. [ The guard may have been short lived, but even to this day, Loras feels he still holds the position. In his heart of hearts.

There's a long pause. ]

If you think I may be of use to you, I'd like to help. Any way I can. [ And then the screen goes dark. ]

It was a kingsguard. A group of knights sworn to the protection and duty of our king, Renly Baratheon.

You're makin' me feel like a real Connecticut yankee in King Arthur's court. [ And he's not even from Connecticut. But he hastens to correct himself: ]

Sorry, you won't know what that means. We don't have a king, where I'm from, is all. Being a kingsguard sounds important.

[ Loras appreciates the hasty correction. He assumes the saying must mean that the mean feels out of place or something. He'll try to remember it. ]

For a knight, there's no greater honour. To be Lord Commander is better still. We were men ready to die for our king.

[godwins]

And now there's nothing left to even fight for.

[ He knows the feeling. A few worlds removed, maybe, but still. ]

[triplerose]

There is always something to fight for. We just need to find it.

[godwins]

Apparently I'm not allowed to. [ He coughs once, as if to emphasize. ] They

[triplerose]

My sympathies. I'm sure once your condition improves you'll find yourself permitted.

[godwins]

I though I'd be better by now, to tell the truth.

[triplerose]

You're not the only one who wishes they were, I'm sure.
