Video

[It has been some time since Anastasia used the video function. Probably not since she first arrived. She keeps the camera on her face, keeping it a reasonable distance. It appears she is in front of the K&H Home for Children.]

"Good-day, everyone... Is there anyone available whom I may ask for advice? It is my Totodile. I want him to stop all this--"

[She turns around a quick moment at her pokemon, then she puts the device down. The camera sees her walking as quickly as she could to where her pokemon were.]

Action

[The girl knelt down and picked up her Totodile that was pestering her Snover. Possibly trying to bite it? Totodiles are bitey critters.]

"Toto, stop it. Snover is not food. She's not even a chew toy...."

[Anastasia struggled to hold on to the little pokemon as it wiggled about, wanting to be free to run around and bite things.]

[Luckily Satsuki isn't in any rush; she's done with her duties today. Of course with Anastasia not being aware of that, she simply nods afterward. She'll remember that.]

I can see that is indeed a blessing. It must have been difficult when you arrived.

[After that the corner of her lip raises a bit. A knight, huh? She'd prefer 'savior' but alas.]

That would not be incaccurate though the concept of knighthood is a bit outdated in Nova City; many systems there have advanced with the times. Are you fond of knights?

[Anastasia nodded. It has been a difficult time for her, but she feels she doesn't need to bother explaining how she managed.

Then came talk of knighthood in this world's current era. She could barely imagine a world without knights. But almost as soon as Anastasia was asked if she liked knights, she paused in thought, then blush began to creep along her cheeks and she once more turned bashful.]

"F-Fond? Well, I... I suppose you could say that..."

Then perhaps you should consider paying Fayren a visit at some point as I believe they are still active in that sub-city. I would then advise visiting with a suitable partner as there are some wild animals about.

[That is a cute reaction though. Ah, to be young again. Believe it or not, she is actually very interested in the details of her survival. For reasons.]

Could you tell me about how you manage in this climate?

[Anastasia got a grip on herself when she was told about Fayren. She will definitely consider a trip there in the future.]

"How I manage...? Well, when I first arrived, I soaked myself in the Bay water by laying down in it. Then, when I had to seek refuge in Nova City during that crises, I used an umbrella to shield myself from direct sunlight."

[Satsuki raises her chin as if conteplating something after listening to the girl. That is something she could work with, she thinks.]

All right. The reason I ask is related to the meeting I had with Mr Haller today; I am interested in taking a small group of four or so youth on a one evening backpack camping excursion to teach basic woodland survival skills. It would be a chance to meet new friends as well.

If it's successful, perhaps I could do one every season. It may be difficult, but would you be interested in joining?

[Considering Anastasia had dealt with more harrowing ordeals than a girl her age needed to deal with, an evening excursion would literally be a walk in the woods. Probably. There's still the whole 'You're on another world' thing she has to contend with also.

But still, meeting new friends. Can't pass that up. She dipped into a well-practiced curtsy in acceptance.]

"It would be an honor to learn from you, Miss Kiryuin."

[Satsuki is impressed by this girls manners; and responds with an approving nod.]

Thank you. I will be aiming for the last weekend of the month and providing the equipment; your network device will receive a reminder two evenings before we set out.

[A pause.]

Are you a noble?

[Network... Is that what this is called? Regardless, Anastasia nodded in understanding. But then she suddenly froze when Satsuki asked the question.

She found it to be dishonorable to lie to a knight, and she wants to try to match their honor out of respect for knights, despite the fact that she was just as likely to lie to anyone else. She kept her voice down so hopefully only Satsuki could hear. Anastasia was very cautious about waving her status around in strange places.]

"I... I am. A princess, to be exact. Back home, at least..."

[Satsuki's brows raise. She was expecting an aristocrat, but not quite to that level. Of course the Guardian notices the hesitance. It makes her curious; but she decides not to pry any further.]

Mn. I ask because I find your etiquette quite impressive; particularly for a girl your age. Not to worry, I shall tell no one of your status.

[Anastasia feels she can trust her. Despite her age and her non-existent roles in her father's politics, there are those back home who want her gone before she can enter more active roles.]

"Thank you... And again for keeping it a secret. Because, I do not know who else from my world is here."

[She pauses...]

"...Do you wish to ask me anything else? Or are you going to return to your duties?"

A wise strategy, I had suspected it was something like that. It was the same for me when I first arrived, but that is a different story.

[Satsuki draws back her sleeve to look at her watch.]

I would be interested in hearing more about your homeland, but I should be on my way. Surely we shall meet again.

[Rather than bow, Satsuki raises her hand to wave, then she'll go along her way.]
