video; un: Rinea_378
[The video feed opens to a blurry shot of Rinea's porch as she turns it on, then sits back a proper distance with a smile. She has managed to center the camera properly this time: no ceiling shots or fingers covering the lens. She practiced! (Still, she looks a bit nervous.)]
Um.. Good day. My name is Rinea! I have a request to make. It's a bit silly, but I would be very happy for assistance nonetheless.
The truth is... I have been residing in Camelot for some time now, but am still unused to using... the internet. [Blush.] It seems a very vital skill to have, to keep abreast of the news! I've missed many an important post on local dangers! But I've still had trouble with checking regularly.
So-- would anyone be interested in exchanging letters, as conversational partners? I believe the term is "pen pals." I would enjoy befriending more of my fellow Avalon otherworlders... and I think having messages to look forward to will make it easier for me to remember to check the phone.
[A hah hah hah. Embarrassing. But still-- she will soldier on!!!]
I will gladly chat about anything, of course! But as for myself, topics I can speak upon include dancing and embroidery. I also spend much of my time honing my alchemy and potionmaking skills-- I would be very happy to share what I have learned there. I also admire gardens and their wildlife, but I have little experience in their cultivation... Oh, and music, as well. You know, the music of Avalon is so varied compared to home, it's a little overwhelming!
[Remembering herself, Rinea inclines her head shyly at the camera.]
Um-- Thank you for listening. I very much look forward to meeting anyone interested!

[This is too much for him to process on live video chat, okay. This is why he uses text so often! What a fool he's been! He is trying so hard to take this conversation at face value and reply to her with respectful information, and not imagine what it would be like to go clubbing with her. The concept is too large to fit into his head without being broken down into bite-sized pieces, which Kadoc is going to resist doing until later. When he's not on video!
He does stammer, and look a bit pink, and he reflexively brushes his hair back from his face. ?!??!?!?!?]
L, look, there's no diplomatic way to say this, but I've gotta be honest with you! When I say adult dancing, I mean—okay, I can't say "erotic dancing" 'cuz that's a whole other thing, and it's not that, but that's the kinda adult I mean when it comes to club dancing. Not that it's all like that, but you'll definitely run into a lot of it.

[Absolutely Horrifying. Rinea is at a loss for words for a moment, red in the face. The strained beat stretches on, the two of them trapped with each other on camera, awkwardly staring in silence.
Then... she can't help it. Rinea starts giggling despite herself. She put this poor boy in such a tight spot, and in the mortification of it all something about the internal struggle he clearly had strikes her as hysterical.]
You're a very sweet man, Mr. Kadoc.

[Where did that come from! For this of all things?! But he can't get the question out before he's laughing too, because it's contagious. Sometimes when things are that tense, the only way they can come out is by laughing about them. He drops his face into one hand, mostly covering it, to muffle his snickering.]
