[The sound of someone fumbling with the communicator before the video feed comes on. If you're paying attention, one might see someone's arms finish adjusting the communicator and quickly pulling away; otherwise, the only thing in the picture is a desk chair with a piece of paper taped to it with medical tape

¡Buenos días!

[peeks at the screen warily and makes a bit of a confused face at it. Then, without fully leaving the camera, he stops and scribbles down a note:]

[eltercio]

[ Would still be making that face but his icons expired in the time it took his mun to make this comment so it's now THIS face. ]

[neverbeenworse]

But I--

I can't--

[Trying to think of something that might deter Spain, and rapidly failing]

Uh...

[eltercio]

[ You must fail pretty badly because deterring Spain is not exactly hard. ]

You can't what?

video;

[neverbeenworse]

Fight.

Or stuff.

[eltercio]

Oh yeah! I remember you telling me this, actually.

[ Laughs a little. ]

Then why are you asking for a partner?

[neverbeenworse]

[Ducks back off screen and the sound of something being scribbled out can be heard. After a couple minutes, a note appears:]

Need to get home.

Thought if I had a partner it would happen faster....
