[Accidental Video Post] - Action open to... Loire family?
[As soon as the feed clicks on, it's pretty obvious that it's an accidental transmission. The hand holding the Sky Phone is small, too small to be anything but a young child's hand, but no one is really visible. However, the inside of a small room can be seen as the owner of the phone walks across the floor to something or someone else. Eventually, the phone gets dropped to the floor, where it clatters and rolls over a few times. When it comes to rest, Slai's back can be seen. She's watching Ellone sleep upright in a rather comfortable-looking chair.
After a few minutes, Ellone wakes up, slowly, and upon noticing the little girl in front of her, she smiles and pats her lap.]
Must've dozed off. You okay, sweetie?
[The girl climbs up into her lap then, back still to the camera, and looks up at the older woman.] Yeah...
[From the look of it, Ellone's not entirely convinced, either.] Don't give me that. Something's up. What is it?
[The girl shifts, turning around in Ellone's lap so she can finally be seen by whoever's watching through the phone. She looks like she's pondering something seriously.]
Do you think there's someone for everyone?
[Ellone looks surprised.] Someone for everyone? What do you mean?
Like that man. She looked so happy to see him. [She pauses seriously again.] My parents were like that. I think.
[Ellone's heart breaks, but the expression she's giving is one of kind sympathy.] Of course they were, sweetie.
And I want someone like that-
You're a bit young for that.
[Slai nods.] What about you? Do you have a special someone?
[That gets a surprised laugh and she leans over to tickle Slai gently while the girl shrieks with laughter.] Me? Oh, I don't know. I hadn't really thought about it. Besides, I've got you, Raine, Brooke, and Uncle Laguna. Plus a bunch of other people who are like my brothers and sisters. They're all the special somebodies I need.
[She pauses for a small moment and finally glances down at the floor, where she sees the phone and frowns.]
-Hey, is that my phone?
[Slai gets up and grabs the phone, bringing it back and giving the network a close-up view of Ellone's embarrassed cheeks.]
I hope it wasn't on.
[But she disconnects it anyway, hoping no one saw that. Which, of course, means everyone did.]
