[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.

[ princess! princess, look! it's your favorite fellow-royal-guard-slash-blue-paladin! (yes, he has to be your favorite, because he's the only one who's been both! >:'c) hi!!

the video that switches on shows lance also dressed similarly in all black, his own insignia pinned (recently shined!) proudly to his chest. the main difference is he appears to be on-duty, smack-dab in the middle of a bustling market, a sleek black rifle slung across his back. ]

Oh, man, the mice'll love our place!

[ because it's small and dark... mice like small and dark places right.......... ]

And don't worry, you'll always be the princess of my heart.

[ There isn't much of anything for 76 to say on the question of pets. He's far more interested in the fact that this young woman has also been recruited into the guard. It's not as if all of them are expected to work together, but it's helpful to form a mental list.

She wears the uniform without hesitation, unlike 76 who only plans to put it on when he's on duty. It's worth noting.

What he finds most interesting, though, is her admittance that she's had the chance to interact with the nobles. 76 has been assigned to the Theatre District, so his experience has been different, to say the least. ]

So what are they like?

[ He doesn't comment on her implication that she's some sort of noble herself. It doesn't seem to matter much here. ]

[ It takes her a second to get the video working... ]

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?

[Ah...the space mice. Keith's reached his quota for interacting with animals this month -- though the mice from the castle haven't ever done anything explicitly bothersome to him. On the contrary, they've always been helpful.

From what he's seen.]

Sounds like you get to patrol the best place out of us three.

[Foregoing the rat conversation to discuss a distraction instead.]

oh geez I didnt really think about that
they said that our friends are safe but what about pets
they probably wouldnt bother saving them huh...

not mine though, my friend chika
she had a really friendly dog I liked a lot (｡╯︵╰｡)

I'm hoping to get my pet Gulliver back, but I haven't heard anything. I guess I haven't really checked recently though either.

Space mice? What are they like?

( mice that are...in space? she's been told that in space you don't actually add space to things, but here we are anyway. so she figures there's something special about them. )

Fuzzy?

It sounds like we have a few things in common.

[Gaius smiles across the camera. He relates to her plight, he really does.]

I have a feathered friend being held in quarantine myself, and I'm also working the the Royal Guard in the Noble District. I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths before.

[There are so many nobles among the refugees. It must be harder on them, he thinks, having that distinction ripped from them.]

I have - well, BB-8's not an animal, but he is in quarantine as well, so I'm in the same situation.

Hello, Allura. It's good to see you again. I'm afraid I haven't yet heard anything about animals being returned. Perhaps it's something you could ask about on the station?

[She remembered Allura's obvious affection when she spoke of the mice she had at home. She hopes they can be returned soon. It's the second part of Allura's message that had really struck Zelda personally though.

She lets out a self-conscious sigh.]

We can't even refer to those titles, when we're amongst the people of this world. I must admit I have not mentioned mine much at all.

I have a dog I asked to be held in quarantine but I've yet to hear of his release. [ He pretends he doesn't care about the animal - the dog doesn't actually belong to him, he kind of just became a companion along his journey back home - but Lucas likes him more than he lets on. ]

[ He feels he ought to introduce himself as part of the Royal Guard as well. ] I am also assisting the Royal Guard but in the Residential District. My name is Lucas.

What is your title? [ He asks out of curiosity. ]

[ The image that greets Allura, with a bright, bucktoothed grin, is that of a young girl with... wolf ears? Dog ears. Canine ears of some kind, brilliant white and fluffy. She tilts her head curiously and taps her chin with one of her index fingers. ]

I am not so sure that I will be able to see my bestest best friend again but if I do manage to get him back I will be sure to let you know!

[ But honestly, the thing that interests her most is the mention of a title. HMM... ] I guess it stands to reason that our titles and such would not matter here since this is not even really our world, ultimately. I guess what matters the most is how much your title means to you!

I don't think I've heard anything about how to get animals like that back, but if I hear anything I'll let ya know! I have a familiar back home too. Not like a mouse, but he's like a cat -

[ Also, the fact that there weren't many living things at all where she came from makes Rin want to help even more. It's sad being parted from his own familiar but he can't imagine what it'd be like if only he and Kuro existed. His own pointed ears perk up a little as he tries to smile a bit to try and brighten the mood. ]

What do space mice look like anyway?

We guard the same area. Perhaps we'll see each other often.

[ And of course, he also understands the sentiment of his title being worth nothing here. ]

Will you tell us of how they were great comfort to you? Those space mice you speak of.

Titles hold no weight regardless of where you are if the ones you interact with don't care about them. They only serve to make you an easier target.

Ah, well what a concidence. I've been assigned to that district as well.

Perhaps, we should do our rounds together sometime.

[ Clearly, just a friendly invitation. Obviously just for bonding time of the friendship variety. ]
