[The camera clicks on, initially capturing a view of a partly cloudy sky. The camera moves downward, bringing its owner into view: Bennett. He's got what appears to be a pair of wings on his back.]

Hey there! Bennett here, coming to you live from the rooftops of Camelot, haha!

[He switches over from the front camera to the rear, presenting a gorgeous view of the city below, as seen from the rooftop of a building, and a particularly tall one at that, judging by how far down some of those buildings seem. How did he get up there? Don't worry about it.]

I recently got my Wind Glider back, so I thought it'd be pretty cool to get an aerial view of the city. You know, gliding high above the city, talking about some of my favorite spots here... All that fun stuff! Anyway, here I go!

[He runs, and leaps into the air off of the rooftop he's on. But rather than dropping, he seems to float in the air, suspended above the ground below while he points his phone at the sights of the city.]

So, starting off, in my opinion, the best crepes in town can be found at that place over there! [A gloved hand comes into the shot, pointing at a cafe down below.] And over there [pointing at a very wide building now] is the hospital with the friendliest staff! They don't give me grief even when I end up there for the fourth time in two weeks. Aaaand... Ah! Down there is--Whoa!?

[Suddenly, without warning, a powerful wind picks up, blowing Bennett and his glider lopsided. Knocked around, it causes him to let go of his phone, allowing it to plummet sstraight to the ground. The last thing seen before it hits the ground is Bennett's horrified expression moving farther and farther away until it hits the ground, terminating the video.

---

A minute later, it comes back on, back in Bennett's hand and broadcasting his face again. There's a clear crack running down the middle of the lens, causing him to look like he's been split in two, and both the video and the audio is crackly and distorted.]

Yeah yeah, sucks about your phone, but what's this about crepes?!

We should go! I'm a total nut for that kind of thing!

[ Which is just aggressively friending at people.

Besides; baked goods, pastries, pan bakes and tray bakes, she wanted to try them all. Hey, she was small, she could use more carbs in her life. ]

What are crepes?

[More important to him than this part:] Is only your phone broken or is the rest of you? I can see why you'd be visiting healers a lot. [He was a dumb reckless child, but not that bad!]

I'll be sure to try them.

[He wonders if he can magically heal technology... but he has a feeling if exertion gave Kitsuno a headache from just telepathy, the kind of migraine from static backlash would be much worse. Better hope there's an expert on the way, because this is also a bit of a headache.]

What were you planning with the giant kite?

[notquitetamed]

You trying to do that with elemental or kinetic magic? [Yeah, not saying anything about the phone and he already knows Bennett has healing magic so he's not too concerned there. He's just trying to figure out if he'll be able to teach the kid the spell he used last time they met.]

[That breeze may or may not have been his elemental magic accidentally firing off.]

[notquitetamed]

[And knowing Bennett's luck, he's assuming that may well be it since there wasn't really any weather that could have caused it.]

You remember that magic I hit you with by accident? That was some of the stuff I've been using to fly like I did back home because it's really weird here and that's with me having wings of my own. At least you might want to learn that magic I used to break your fall last time.

Well, um...there should be places where you can either see if they can repair your phone, or give you a replacement. But are you okay? That looked like a pretty big fall.

There should be a few places that will help you get it repaired - are you all right? Was that a hang-glider you were using?

[At first Venti thinks this could be some sort of really entertaining idea- a sort of network show (or app) where Bennett tours the city telling his audience all about this and that... How good, how entertaining, how---

.... Unlucky. Venti winces when he watches the end and then realizes... well- that could be entertaining too. If it wasn't so much at Bennett's expense all the time.]

Bennett... Firstly, are you alright? You don't feel a bone or two out of place, do you? Something tells me that winds in this city aren't as forgiving on gliders as the ones at home...
