[ The video starts with Zevran tapping on the camera with a fingertip, as though uncertain it's really doing what it's supposed to be doing. Or perhaps there's a pattern there with some hidden meaning, who can say?

And then there's his face in focus, complete with tattoo down one side and those signature pointy ears of his. His accent is thick and warm. ]

What a marvelous device this is; I can only imagine what sort of naughty things you all must get up to with it, behind closed doors.

[ Leave it to Zevran to encounter smartphone technology and immediately and independently think of dick pics. Or worse. Considering the video function. ]

My name is Zevran Arainai. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances, one way... or another.

[ Complete with a suggestive waggling of the eyebrows, that last bit. ]

Comments

I just watched the video on your profile SHE SEEMS AMAZING.

[zevranarainai]

Why leave it to the young? The more experienced have so many things to teach us all!

[ The age card didn't save white-haired Wynne from his flirting, it won't save Chrisjen either!

Still, it's more of a warm smile than a lascivious one he's giving her at the moment, at least. She's only the second person to give him a name back, and that counts for something. ]

How new, if you don't mind me asking?

She is dictionary definition of HBIC...

[notcynicalenoughyet]

[That got a husky laugh from her. So he was that kind of person. That's fine, she was used to that - might even have used similar in her life.]

I have only been here for two weeks myself. It's a bit of a change from what I'm used to, but from what you've said about this phone, possibly the other way for me.

[zevranarainai]

The other way...? Oh! You mean that this wondrous device is not so wondrous to you?

I must admit, this may be the strangest kidnapping I have ever been party to. And that is saying a lot.

[notcynicalenoughyet]

No, in fact it is rather prehistoric to me.

Do you make it a habit to get kidnapped? I've found it's something that's best to avoid.

[zevranarainai]

I think that everyone in Antiva has been involved in a kidnapping at some point. It's part of its charm.

[notcynicalenoughyet]

This Antiva sounds like a dangerous place to be. [Any she would totally be there.]

The problem with this kidnapping is there is no ransom involved as far as I can tell.

[zevranarainai]

It is. [ Have a long sigh. He really does love his homeland, and being away from it for even longer than intended is... not something he's going to dwell on right now. ]

Very true! It is quite peculiar, is it not? No ransom, no task set before us...

[notcynicalenoughyet]

Personally? I don't like it. It feels wrong that demands haven't been made.

[And that is worrying, that she would consider it concerning that no demands have been made. An insight into the life of a career politician.]
