[The video flickers on projecting a view of the ceiling, which is the first obvious sign that this recording is accidental. After a moment, a thunk is heard as the ceiling starts to spin, and then a leg and some fabric of a dress can be seen. It seems the device was kicked.]

Hamlet…?

[The body moves and Estelle comes into view as she is looking under a couch.]

Kitties?

[It seems she is looking for some animals…]

Where are you? Why haven’t I seen you? [Then there’s a small pause as her voice can be softly heard as she‘s talking to herself.] I don‘t suppose I was lied to about having animals here, was I? I…I haven‘t seen them.

[No, Estelle. Animals just hate you. And then she notices her device and picks it up as she turns it off.]

((ooc: Estelle is looking for the pets that she heard reside at the beach house. Open to action.))

... Maybe...

You shouldn't let it get to you like this, though. They're just pets, and they haven't seen you before...

[Estelle really doesn't like the fact that he keeps saying 'they're just pets'. They have feelings too! And are completely capable of hurting Estelle's feelings...]

I...I do suppose you're right. [...though she may not like it, part of her does agree with what he's saying...]

[ Tyr sort of sucks at comforting people, and somehow making the concerns seems lesser makes him think that'd help. The fact she's giving in gives him that impression, too. ]

... So other than your pets...

Other than my pets?

[She gives him a curious look at that. If anything, she would like to hear what the rest of that sentence is supposed to be.]

How have things been for you?

[ He hopes it's a successful distraction! ]

Oh, they have been going very well. I'm really happy to know everyone came back from their expedition safely!

[Distraction = success!]

[ Yeees! ]

Yeah. It's sort of amazing they're all okay after being away for that long...

Well, I really believed they would be fine, and Yuri promised me that he would come back unharmed.

[You see, Estelle believes (and from what she has witnessed) that Yuri keeps all the promises he makes. He wouldn't make them if he didn't mean them.]

[ That's kind of sweetly naïve to Tyr. ]

You really believe in him that much, huh?

[ It doesn't seem like the kind of thing that can be promised. ]
