[Feliciano's face appears on the screen. He's looking nervous, but not skittish, with a small smile somewhere between sheepish and sweet - the kind of sweet smile that goes with sweet-talking people into acknowledging pasta as a food group essential for survival.]
[He waves.] Ve~ Mister Kidnappers? I know you're awfully busy plotting evil deeds and snatching people from their homes, but... ah... I wonder if you can snatch really really small things with your people-snatching machine? Insect-small things?
[He tilts his head to the side and smiles even more sweetly, complete with shining puppy eyes.] I've been looking everywhere for cochineal, but there aren't any in Ruby City! I promised Aqua I would show her how to make red paint from insects and if I don't, she will think I lied! I'm sure the insects aren't all that fast and you're smart, you can catch them easily!
[Just for good measure, he exchanges the smile for a pout.] It's very important for my painting projects!
