[Caim is officially in the area. He's been given a room and an occupation. He doesn't even have to share with anyone. Isn't he a lucky guy? His room is barren. Of course it is. He came with nothing, except his sword, armour, and the clothes he wore. He's not wearing the armour, but he is wearing the same clothes, bloodstained and wonderful. Wearing

[Is that it? Dana blinks a few times and slightly tilts her head.]

... Are you alright?

[You're damn right that's it. If he could speak, he'd probably say he was peachy keen in a very sarcastic tone. Or something to that effect.

Instead, he's going to write for her as soon as he figures out that the video feed and coming through that fascinating lens. In fact, give him a couple of minutes to figure that out.

. . . . .

Okay. He doesn't know how it works, but...]

"Yes. And who might you be?"

[At least she hasn't asked. On second thought, Caim can't recall someone specifically asking if he could talk. The last few days have been a haze.

He's very patient as he waits for Dana. Uncharacteristically patient. What else can he do, really? Not much. He's already learned he can't reach out and choke anyone through wherever the lens may lead.]

"I am Caim. A..."

[What did Goose say he was again?]

"An assistant to a walking broom."

[Because Goose's hair really does look like a broom.]

Ah, we've met.

... Perhaps we should consider getting you some other things to wear.

[Oh. Caim remembers this one. It's nice to see his face. He inclines his head momentarily.]

"Hello, Riley."

[And then he looks down to his clothes.]

"There's nothing wrong with them."

[Apparently someone didn't do his laundry back in his homeland.]

[auraqualia]

You'll stand out like a sore thumb wearing those.

[Riley thinks for a moment before seemingly struck by an idea.]

It seems we are of a similar stature and build, except you're somewhat taller. Perhaps I have something that could fit...

[As if on cue, Lucario is searching in Riley's closet in the background.]

What's your room number?

[voice_of_animus]

[Caim looks unamused. Well, of course he is. He's just had someone imply there's something wrong with his clothes. Half of him is unamused anyway. The other half is more or less just. Appalled. Whoever would have thought there were people in the world who weren't totally batshit insane.]

"......"

[He raises an eyebrow. Just one.]

"I am not wearing your clothes."

[Yes. He can see you, Lucario.]

[What. In. The. Name. Of the Goddess?

...Is that a kid?]

"......"

[Caim stares for a few moments and finally lifts his notepad.]

"Yes. Hello to you as well."

Re: Video

[metal_feathers]

[Huh, what. Skamrory now looked confused. What was with the notepad.]

Mister, why aren't you talking?

Video

[voice_of_animus]

[For a moment, Caim considers getting angry. And then he remembers that Skarmory is just a kid. It would be no different from Seere asking. Except that Seere knew, thanks to Golem.

He gathers up what remaining patience he has.]

"I am incapable of it."

[No. Caim's never been very good at talking to kids. But it seems Skarmory will tell him if he's used words that are too big.]

[He sees a dog. At least he knows what a dog is. Except he has to guess it's not an ordinary dog.

Caim waits patiently for a few moments, and then something possesses him to do... not the smartest thing he can think of. He shows his notepad to Amaterasu.]

"Yes?"

[And then it occurs to him. Dogs can't read.]

Re: video

[sunfurry]

[It seems as though the wolf shrugs. She didn't really want anything, she was just curious.]

Re: video

[voice_of_animus]

[He blinks.

This must be the smartest dog ever. Caim knows better than to assume all animals are simply animals, however. And was it his imagination, or did she just shrug?

He has to try something out.]

"Can you read?"

[Oh. Oh. Hello, there. Have a Raikov oogling you, Caim.]

How... beautiful...!

video;

[voice_of_animus]

[Caim takes all of it back. This guy. This Raikov, is the strangest person he's met thus far.

The moment Raikov says 'beautiful', Caim's quick to look around his room. Of course, Caim doesn't think much of anything is beautiful, and even if he did, he couldn't say it.

He stares at Raikov a few moments longer and finally writes.]

"What?"

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

You. You're a very beautiful man...

video;

[voice_of_animus]

[Yes. This guy's batshit.

Caim has, in all of his life, never ever been called beautiful. This spells all kind of awkward. So Caim's going to do what he does when he wants to try and avoid awkward things.

Kill.

Evade.]

"Who exactly are you?"
