15; video

[The video feed is very brief. The frame starts out at an angle, since Souji hadn't really meant to record this, with a mirror at its center. The word "WELL?" is written in very precise handwriting.

The mirror gets closer as Souji walks over and as he kneels in front of it and sets the camera aside, the feed briefly shows a rather grisly image. A yellow parakeet is laid out on the floor in front of the mirror, positioned on its back with its wings outspread. There's no blood, but the bird has been cut open and the flesh and bones cut away entirely to reveal carefully displayed organs. It's hard to tell, given how briefly the camera shows it, but the bird's heart is still beating, and it's still breathing.

Then the camera's sitting to the side and Souji's in the frame now, just looking at the bird. His eyes are wider than normal, but otherwise, his expression is neutral. After a second, he moves, bringing both hands together in front of him, but rather than pick the bird up, there's just a very small snapping noise as he breaks its neck off screen.

At the very edge of the frame, a flurry of writing starts to appear on the mirror's surface, but the angle makes it impossible to make out any words.

omg I'm so sorry for the tl'dr]

Is there something that you would like?

[It's all rather public and all rather obvious. Whether or not he needs something does matter, but what you need isn't always what you want, and she's more concerned about whether or not he wants a distraction. Redglare is not good at comfort.]

Yes. I'd imagine that I would have more trouble with her, were she capable of getting to anything I cared about, but there's little and she knows nothing of them.

Did he do this?
sinkships: ({Shame} Saw what'd I'd done)

It is an animal, and it was an act of mercy. Better to let it die quickly than to let it suffer. Animals are one of the few beings not subject to most laws. They are victims of their own instincts.

You did the right thing, if that sort of thing matters to you.

Do you think that, had you fixed it rather than killed it, that it would have ever lived normally again? After all, your mirror looks like you. Do you think it would have known who did what?

[She would really like to try and make him feel less... guilty? She supposes it's guilt. But she doesn't know how.]

It isn't your fault, you know. It was only a bird.

[She is so bad at this...]

If he plans anything similar in the future...

We'll get something with teeth.

That is actually a rather excellent suggestion...

It depends on the dragon. My lusus was massive, larger than the largest of [She hesitates for a moment. Dammit. What was the word? G. Guh... Redglare huffs and substitutes it.] seagrift ships. She set the entirety of Mindfang's fleet alight with a few bursts of flame.

[GOOD DRAGON! BEST PARTNER!]

Not all of them can breathe fire, but most of them can fly, as they have wings.

I'm sure I'll be able to find something that you can control.

Quite possibly.

They are the perfect companion.

Yes. I would. [Implied ominous background music.]

But not to worry. I'll get you something to fix this.
