[ The feed opens up with a male rubbing his temples gently, probably not noticing that he's finally connected to the network. This really is a mess and he's trying to get his thoughts straightened out. He opens his eyes and blinks, looking at the screen with his head tilted a bit, his annoyed expression turning into a curios one. ]

... Oh, it's on-- G-Good day. Since we're all in the same mess, I figured introductions are in order. My name is Chrom, Exalt of the Halidom of Ylisse. I'm currently in Highcrest right now. I hope we can all get along and find a way back home.

[ He smiles, though it doesn't last too long. ]

Now, on to more personal matters. If there's anyone else from Ylisse here, I'd like a reply. I know Robin has made a message, but I'd feel better if you reported to me as well. [ Mainly because people won't accuse Chrom of being fake. Sorry, bro. ] We can try and make some sense of our current situation. And figure out this double Robin situation as well...

[ He gives a small smile and a nod before the feed ends, for now. ]

[Well, she does pick up something odd in the last part of the video, but she'll leave questioning for later. Or never, as it seems to be a private matter... She's not quite sure if she should indulge her curiosity or not.

Either way, she's sure that making many allies as possible should help speed up her investigation and possible escape attempt. So she'll turn on the feed and return the greeting. Oh, and that's not armor she's wearing... she's actually made of metal. She hopes you don't mind. Or notice, really.]

Chrom, huh? Nice to meet ya. Name's Labrys. I'm from a place called Japan, which I'm guessin' is probably nowhere near where you're from. Anyhow... Have ya found anythin' new about what's goin' on since we got here?

[ Her speech is like a tone-down version of Donnel's to be honest. Her appearance is rather interesting as well. He listens to her, keeping a smile on his face. ]

It's nice to meet you as well. I haven't heard of Japan, though. As for what I've found out, not a whole lot sadly. My Shepherds and I will look into it more once we're gathered up.

... Ah, if you don't mind me asking, by any chance are you a knight? [ Because yeah what are robots, that is clearly armor she is wearing. ]

[Confusion is written all over her face when she hears that question. That was kind of sudden... She's genuinely lost on how he came to that conclusion.]

Huh? 'A knight'? No, I ain't one... Why d'ya ask?

... You're not?

Your appearance had made me think otherwise.

I've no idea you're talkin' abou--

[It takes a moment of processing for her to fully piece together what he meant. She raises one of her gauntlet-like hands.]

Oh, these? Ummm... [She uses that hand to rub the back of her head self-consciously. She's rather uncomfortable about this subject, but there's no use lying about it anyway.] Well... It ain't armor. It's actually part of my body.

....

[ Oh. He's really embarrassed now. He feels bad for bringing it up. Yet he's fascinated by it. ] I-I apologize for bringing it up. So it's a part of your body...? I've never heard of that before.

[ He stops. ]

I'm sorry! We can stop talking about this.

[So... Robots aren't a thing where he comes from? That's interesting.]

Nah, we're cool. Ya seem pretty curious, and ya don't seem like ya mean anythin' bad, so I don't mind tellin'. [Now, how to explain this...] Ya could say that... Imma machine made to look like a person? Does that make sense?

Still... It was rude of me to assume.

[ Sadly, all she gets is a blank and confused look for the lord when she tries to explain what she is. He gets the whole "looking like a person" part. ]

Er, machine... You mean something like this communication device?

It's fine, no offense taken.

[She smiles reassuringly. Still, for someone who doesn't know much about technology, he seems to catch on quickly.]

Right. Though instead of bein' built for communication, I was made for combat purposes. I... don't really enjoy it, though.

I see...

[ So she didn't like to fight even though she was made for it? That was pretty interesting. ] Sometimes we need to fight, but to be honest I wouldn't want to do it all the time.

[Labrys nods.]

Yeah, I get ya. The only time I wouldn't mind is if it's to protect my friends. I mean, they watched my back when I was in trouble, so it's my turn.
