un: man's greatest treasure (video)

[ooc: This is set during the Annointed event of Unkharil.]

[The video shows the jungle for a moment, followed by a close-up of Hermione's face in the dark, illuminated by the Lumos spell at the tip of her wand. She looks wide-eyed, a little dishevelled, leaning against a massive tree trunk. She looks at the camera, trying to figure out the point she was going to make, opens her mouth, closes it. Pauses.

Then:]
Drugs are bad. Prophecy drugs are bad. Don't do drugs, kids. [Another pause.] Are there even any kids around for this public service announcement? Probably not awake at this hour anyway...[She rubs one hand over her face, the wand still in said hand creating a bit of strobe light effect for anyone watching.]

Right - the point. I found the giant snake - not a Basilisk as I had suspected, given that I'm not petrified this time, but that's beyond the point. I have a vial for Deimar - and instructions, which I'll deliver, but I wanted to see if anyone else has...gone in? The jungle, for the anointment venom. [Merlin, this place is weird and these people are weird.]

For people keen to keep track - our Alem prince is meant to find who in his midst has bloodshed on their hands. I tried to ask if that meant people from Alem, or included us as well, but Kharil-asuk didn't answer.

[A pause.] Yes - that's it.

Hermione?

Would you - do you need help? I can try to find you.
paperbutterflies: (Consider)

[personal profile] paperbutterflies 2023-08-24 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
I could find the tree and join you in the waiting. And bring some water, to help.

[ Alone in the jungle is probably not helping anything. ]
paperbutterflies: (Doubt)

... you wish to be left alone. I understand.
paperbutterflies: (Doubt)

You are alone, at night, in a strange - jungle. With ... drugs? Something that can alter your concentration. Which you need to do your spells, do you not?

It is not unreasonable to be worried.
paperbutterflies: (Hope)

[ ...........

... you know what, he can't even begin to answer that with teasing back, not in the least because it made him suddenly miss the other juniors something fierce.
]

I will seek out your light. Do not be alarmed if I drop in from above.

[ Sword flying is a thing. And much safer than trying to make his way along the jungle floor. ]

And... I have not been much of a leader since I arrived here, have I? Al those who would be entrusted to me have been left to make do on their own.

I would not presume anyone would try to make you follow, Hermione. If anything, I would think we walk side by side.
paperbutterflies: (Smile)

[personal profile] paperbutterflies 2023-08-25 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
I am on my way. To keep you company, until it is safe to return.

[ He remembers that flying is not something she is eager to do. And likely even less so right now. ]

If you are willing to brave that, I will be with you. It would be safer to fly, but I remember that is not your favorite.
