Eight Missive (Accidental Video Post)

[The camera switches on, focusing on a view about waist-high, but looking up, and the picture bounces, as if in step with someone's pace. In the jostled image, we can see Elisabeth's front door growing larger as the owner of the contraption approaches it. A hand comes into view and knocks sharply on the door.]

Elisabeth? Are you in?

[There is general muttering heard, and locks clicking open. The door opens to show a slightly confused Elisabeth, dressed for exercise. Her hair is slightly messed up, and she has the general air of one interrupted in the middle of something]

Yes, I am here. Can I help you?

[She is not pleased, and conspicuously does not invite him in.]

Yay, no skirts!

[Franz, in his cursed state, does not notice the annoyance on his wife's face, only that she has opened the door. He grins.]

Ah, good! I'm so pleased to see you, Sisi!

[He steps forward, pushing the door open, unaware of the rudeness of his gesture in his curse-addled state, and reaches for his wife's hand.]

[She stumbles back slightly as Franz pushes his way into the apartment.]

I beg your pardon sir!

[She is annoyed, but not quite angry. She will hear an explanation]

[Franz pauses for a moment, hearing the tone of her voice.]

Forgive me, I should have sent you a note first.

[He takes her hands, holding them tightly in his own.]

I've not given you enough warning to pack. No matter, we can send for your things later.

[He turns toward the door, pulling his wife with him.]
