[She's been thinking about a past conversation she's had before coming here, about promises made before waking up from stasis, and...well...
The video feed shows her sitting in her bedroom, wearing all black with the Royal Guard insignia pinned to her chest, and while ordinarily she'd make herself look prim and proper for a video conference it's kind of hard to do so living in a hovel and not in a Castle-ship. Still, she's trying.]
Upon first waking and learning of the Storm, I had been told that my friends are being held in quarantine, and that continues to remain true for now even as we make do on Olympia. I cannot be the only person here who has animal companions and wishes to reunite with them in the near future.
If anyone here has been reunited with their animal friends, my ears are open as to how you got them back. I... [she hesitates, and then rephrases whatever it is she was going to say.] There are not many living things from my homeworld left, even in the universe where I am from. The space mice had been a great comfort, especially in unfamiliar territory such as this.
[She begins to undo her hair from its updo and...it's a lot of hair for a bun that was so neat and orderly.]
I also wish to inform those I know that I am currently assisting the Royal Guard in the Noble District. It is strange interacting with the nobility here when your own title holds no weight.

Ah! Salutations! I am Lady Clair, knight of the One Kingdom of Valentia... ah, but perhaps that is of little import here, as you have stated.
[ Introduction complete! Anyway, ] I cannot say that I have discovered the status of our animal friends, though I would dearly wish to know. Would you be so kind as you inform me of anything you learn?
no subject
It is important to get to know fellow refugees, even if the inhabitants here are unaware of the reality of our situation.
[it still rubs her the wrong way they cannot talk about their status, but...she doesn't want to needlessly endanger anyone either.]
And I will, if-- when I get my friends back. May I ask about your animal friend?
no subject
I do admit, it is certainly difficult to go about such subterfuge among the natives. I have never had cause to hide my identity or status.
[ That's really what rubs her the wrong way—Clair is just an honest person, and she's proud to be a knight. ]
Why, of course! I speak of my pegasus. She is my partner on the battlefield and a constant companion since I began training to be a knight. I have hardly spent so much time away from her before as I have now.
no subject
she's simply not going to comment on that, instead she'll press on about the animal.]
She sounds like a lovely creature, and it is a shame we are separated from our companions for so long.
...may I ask what a pegasus is, exactly? I've never heard of one before.
no subject
In truth?
[ Her eyebrows lift in surprise. Despite how often she's reminded of the many differences between herself and the other refugees, somehow she's still caught off guard that there are those who haven't heard of pegasi. It's like not knowing about... a dog. Or something.
Well, anyway, let her just say— ] Why, a pegasus is one of the most noble creatures on earth! Tell me, have you heard of horses? For they are very similar.
no subject
What makes them unique from horses?
no subject
[ Clair isn't exactly sure what to make of a horseless existence on different planets (??), but more importantly— ]
They have wings, so that they may fly! I myself ride my pegasus into combat, and thus we soar above the field of battle.
