[The ... high elf?! ... who shows up on the video looks and sounds pretty familiar, and let's face it this is Luminada de-aged to before the Scourge attacked. She seems considerably less depressive and reclusive right now, and more just plain shy and nervous.

This is gonna be good.]

Um, excuse me. This doesn't seem to be Silvermoon City - or, um, anywhere in Quel'Thalas at all...Could someone please be so kind as to point me home? My mother and father will likely be worried a-and Lady Savalia is really not going to be happy with me so...please?

[She pauses to pick up and hold up a tiny dragonhawk hatchling. It is baby Sirene, who just chirrups and fluffs her feathers.]

Also, somehow I have a hatchling in my care - I mean, I'm going to take care of it of course, but why would anyone remove a hatchling from its nest? That's uncalled for! The poor thing, and its mother must be worried sick!

[She clears her throat after saying all of this, a faint blush crossing her face.]

So I-I suppose that's all I have to say, so...thank you for your time.

What is that thing?

[Oh, it's a tiny human. How interesting.]

This is a dragonhawk. It's just hatched a little while back, I think.

[Chirrup chirrup from Sirene.]

[Kaworu's never heard of that animal before.] What's a dragonhawk?

Uh..London. You're in whacko future London. But-is that a dragon?

[ what the hell is going on in this place even ]

We are very far from Quel'Thalas.

[ hot diggity dog this guy has some really helpful shit to say doesn't he ]

I'm not surprised you don't know - they're not often seen outside quel'dorei lands, if I remember correctly. Well...They are what they are. I don't really know how to explain it otherwise, I'm sorry.

[She smiles sheepishly.]

[Balder is trying to use his gentlest voice because, well, bad news.]

I am afraid there are no paths from here. But if you need help with your hatchling, I would be pleased to assist you.

I've never heard of this city of London. Is it a human settlement?

No, it's a dragonhawk. There's a difference. Real dragons are a lot larger and do not have feathers, and I've heard they can speak.

W-WAH!

[She stumbles away from the device in shock, and Sirene squawks indignantly at having been moved. RUDE, elf! Rude!

... Seems Luminatha thinks otherwise though, because she's immediately curtsying as best she can. BOW BEFORE THE BOSS, MAN] Y-Your Highness! T-That is Your Highness, correct? I wasn't aware you were here! I apologize...

Oh...I see. So, a magic-related accident, then? [She sighs a little.] If Lady Savalia were here, she'd probably know what to do...

You would? Thank you so much; I've never raised a dragonhawk before and I want to make sure it stays okay.

[Chirrup, chirrup. Sirene likes you, strange old human-looking person.]

It's like a bird. But it looks like a butterly, too. And a lizard.

[Kaworu knows his animals.]

[She pauses to look at Sirene for a moment. Sirene looks back up before preening her feathers some more.]

You know, I think you're right about the butterfly part. As for the bird and lizard...Well, I think that's why they're called dragonhawks, becaue they look like both dragons and hawks.

Un. Yeah. It's -what are you?

Yes, I understand there is some random element involved that bars us from journeying at will.

[He smiles.] I too cannot claim to have raised such a beast, but I am a fair hand with animals. With your concern and attention I am sure it shall grow strong.

Is it just a baby? Do they hatch from eggs like birds?

Apologize for what? [ Genuinely curious, though his own curiosity extends much further than just her apologies.

Then he's smiling. Yes, these shenanigans are satisfactory. Let everyone have their persons so altered. ]

You were not aware? [ Curiouser and curiouser. ] I believe we have spoken before.

You have never-? [Wow, that's...weird. Don't humans at least know of the night elves?]

I am a quel'dorei - we're called 'high elves' in the common tongue.

[Ughhhh but don't ask her to show you the wondrous elven arcane magics, Yosuke. She's bad at magic. And since magic is A Big Thing for her kind...]

[Dont worry, he's still tripping over elf here.]

Sorry, what? I don't think I understand.

For not reporting sooner - or something - I don't really know the protocols for being stuck in a strange land like this, um, if there are any.

[She turns a bright red at this. Speaking? With the prince himself? THAT IS NOT A THING!] Y-Your Highness, with all due respect, I...I do not think it was me you spoke to. I am - [Wow, she's red as a beet.] - it's true my family is noble, but if we are noble enough to have spoken with the royal family, I've...never heard of it, sir.

Mm. I'm sorry, then...I am merely an apprentice, and I don't think I can do anything about this.

[An apprentice at her age. She is so ashamed you don't even know. ... The mention of the hawk makes her smile again, and she scritches the little bird under its beak.]

I hope so, sir.

[There is this Look she has on her face right now. This is a very weird place!]

You...have never heard of elves at all?

Yes, they hatch from eggs. I'm guessing this little one is perhaps...a few weeks old? A few months, perhaps Certainly old enough for its feathers to have grown in.

[ He frowns, but figures it is best left without explanation. Since, well, he's not interested in explaining -- nor ruining this for himself, if he'd be so honest. ] Very well, perhaps it was not you.

And how long do you believe you have been here?

[She nods. Yes, maybe it was one of her relatives who had managed to marry up. That would make more sense. The mention of how long she's been there, though, that makes her tap her chin in thought.]

It...cannot have been more than a few minutes, sir.

[He shakes his head.] 'Tis a greater problem than all of us, at least for now. I am the one who should apologize, for 'tis mine duty to protect and my pride as a god.

Worry not, for talking dragons walk this place. They might deign to consult should any problems arise.
