video;

( oz has spent some time practicing, so when the video feed comes on, it's steady and propped up to give a good view of him in the living room of his apartment. he shoots the camera a grin before holding up a helmet that may seem familiar to some people. )

Hello, everyone! You won't believe what I found today. ( a meow can be heard off-screen, and he corrects himself - ) Or more correctly, Li Jun did. Something like this must belong to someone, right?

( he hefts it up closer to the camera so that viewers on the network can get a better view. it's probably clear he basically thinks it's one of the coolest things ever. a real helmet like what a real knight would have!! maybe even what one of his favorite fictional knights would wear while doing something gallant.

it would probably be rude to put it on his head. which is what he does a moment later, cheerfully, because look okay how many chances like this does one get!! the network gets a wave before he takes it off and adds, )

Well, if it someone's, I wouldn't want to keep it from you. So tell me if it's yours, alright?

Tell him to look somewhere else!

[;~;]

Did you figure out who it belongs to, yet? It does look familiar...

Kaede said it belongs to someone named Al. It seems to match up with the angriest person to reply!

( that more than anything else has convinced him that al's the helmet owner, really )

Huh? Why are they angry?

[Oz you didn't steal it, right...]

( he didn't!!! )

He'd probably just worried.

If that's the case, then you should get it back to him as soon as possible.

Do you need me to go with you?

[He can apologize for him...]

That's what I'm doing!

( gosh why doesn't anyone believe that. )

I'll be fine. It's not that far to go.

You're sure?

Of course I'm sure! It's only dropping this off at his doorstep.

Shouldn't you at least greet him properly to his face--

[And suddenly, it hits him.]

Oh - I remember where I've seen it before...

Really? Where?

[Ugh, bringing up the failed mission isn't really the best topic at the moment.]

I think he's someone who helped me out before.

( the vagueness is as telling as anything, makes him think - ah. )

I'll return it as soon as possible, then. Someone who's helped you deserves at least that much, right?

Return it as a favor to him, not to me.

[He tries to sound long-suffering about it, but it mostly comes out depressed.]

( bang-up job of not talking about it they're doing, here )

Of course, I'll return it because it isn't mine to keep.

And apologize to him for putting it on.

[Like a gentleman.]

( you judas!!!! )

I will if he stops calling me a thief.

I'm sure he'll understand if you explain the situation properly to him.

I've tried that already.

Then...why doesn't he believe you?

[What did you do to piss him off.]

I don't know that either!

( NOTHING WOW )

[He sighs. Fine, he won't ask questions, but this whole story still sounds weird.]

At any rate, don't take too long. I'm making cookies for you and your roommates.

[And they're not even burned this time!]

( !!!!!!!!!! )

You are? What kind?

[He picks up his tablet and points it at the table where a plateful of these are sitting, though there's still more baking in the oven.]

They're supposed to be raspberry, but they also taste like...lemon, sort of? [He sighs.] Food is so strange in this world...

Either way, I'm sure they're delicious, since you made them.

Hmph.

[This face.]

Come by after you're done dropping it off. All right?
