[The video feed flickers to life, and there is a man with dark hair gazing at the "screen" for all to see.  There is something decidedly serpentine about the incline of his head, the way his lips are almost curled into a snarl, exposing a flash of white teeth before he speaks

Well you're a dramatic one. What are you supposed to be?

voice;

[The text displays, as it should, but Alduin is less than inclined to use this... keyboard contraption to respond. These fingers are far more complicated than they seem, far more complex in their use than the sharpened edges of his talons that he was used to.

So... you get a blunt voice response, instead. tl;dr typing is hard.]

Dovah. Dragon.

[bearswitness]

Oh well that does make sense then you people are always testy.

[worldeating]

[So many strange words and uses for them. Sometimes it only adds to his frustration.]

My 'people'? And what is it you know about my people?

[bearswitness]

That you're testy.

[ wow so helpful, this faceless writing ]

[worldeating]

Explain.

[Not helpful at all, actually. 8| ]

[bearswitness]

I know enough what is it you're looking for. I'm not handing out history lessons here.

[worldeating]

That much you make apparent.

[A second while he glances up at the text log]

"I know enough what is it you're looking for." Was that a question?

[bearswitness]

Yes. I didn't think it deserved a question mark. To indicate an uninterested tone of voice you see I rather like that touch.

[worldeating]

[Believe it or not, Alduin actually takes note of this, in the back of his mind.]

Then you ask what I seek? It is apparently something that cannot be found here, or at least so easily granted. I seek a freedom from this prison.
