( 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?

[Sheryl chuckles a little under her breath, cupping her cheek as she looks on in interest.]

It's true, most modern women would rather rely on themselves and be independent than have their own knights to watch them, but — [A small giggle.] You'll be surprised. They may be a girl looking for a prince to whisk her away!

[velveteened]

Maybe! There are all kinds, right?

Everyone is different in their own special way, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman.

[video]

[velveteened]

That's true, too!

[video]

[galactically]

You know, I could be your fair maiden for just one day if you like.

[video]

[velveteened]

( he cannot even deal with modern women, let alone really really pretty older ones )

That's a generous offer!

[video]

[galactically]

Truly this offer doesn't come by often!

[A small wink.]

But... I only have a special condition or two.

[video]

[velveteened]

Ah, really?

[video]

[galactically]

You'll have to return the helmet back to its original owner first.

[video]

[velveteened]

( aha )

How could anyone deny a request from such a beautiful lady?

[video]

[galactically]

[A playful laugh.]

Only men who never fall prey to a beautiful woman's charms, of course!

[video]

[velveteened]

( laughs, himself, far from serious )

Aaah, that may be smart, but that sounds like a sad life to me!

[video]

[galactically]

Maybe! But you'll never know, they could be charmed by other things aside from girls.

[video]

[velveteened]

Just like how everyone's unique, everyone has unique interests?

[video]

[galactically]

Exactly! My, you're a smart boy.

[video]

[velveteened]

No, you're too kind.

[video]

[galactically]

I don't usually think of myself as too kind. Is that so?

[video]

[velveteened]

To be so complimentary? Of course.

[video]

[galactically]

You're lucky not to see my merciless side, then.

[There's a playful glance at his direction before she sobers up.]

It's been awhile since I've had an interesting conversation.

[video]

[velveteened]

You mean, I'll have to not do something to deserve it, right?

( equally playful )

Well, I do my best.

[video]

[galactically]

Yes, that's right, but I don't think you need to worry.

[A slight headtilt.]

So! What's your name? I'm Sheryl. [A beat.] Sheryl Nome.

[video]

[velveteened]

It's nice to meet you, Sheryl. My name is Oz Vessalius.
