[Accidental Video Post]

[The video opens with an image of Rosella, sitting at a table in the Library with bookshelves all around her as a backdrop. For anyone reasonably familiar with the Library, it is clear that she is not in one of the more high-traffic areas; quite the contrary, she's picked the quietest corner she could find, and tucked

You and Pinocchio, Rosella. What's all this about whales?

[primrosella]

Whales? What do whales have to do with--

...Oh, honestly, don't tell me you've found a picture of that!

[playstheblues]

Your dress looks very wet.

[primrosella]

Likely it's because I've just been swimming. That's the only way to get anywhere near whales, you know, is by swimming along and minding your own business right up until one comes up out of nowhere and swallows you.

[playstheblues]

Why were you swimming in your full dress?

[primrosella]

Er. Because I didn't have anything else to change into at the time? And that was when I was in Tamir, too, when there were, um, certain things I was a bit more concerned about than what I happened to be wearing while swimming.

[playstheblues]

You could have gone without-

[Pause, THINK ABOUT THAT, BLUE]

Well okay, fair enough.

[primrosella]

And especially not with all the sharks in the water, either. It would've just been asking for trouble, going...er, like that.

[playstheblues]

But didn't that dress weigh you down?

[primrosella]

Well, yes, but it's not as though I couldn't manage. I just got tired out a bit faster than I normally would've, really.

[playstheblues]

Dangerous swimming, Rosella.

[primrosella]

As I recall, that was a rather dangerous day all around, Blue. And the swimming was really the least of it.

[playstheblues]

Oh. Um, so, what pictures did you find?

[primrosella]

Oh, there's...quite an assortment, really. A number of them are of people I don't know, so I can't very well give them back. Some of them are nice, like this one of Tristan with his sword or that one of Neil and his friends.

Um. I...there's one of you, too.

[playstheblues]

...what is it?

[primrosella]

It's...well, you. And you look rather terrible.
