[When the feed flips on it's slightly tilted, showing mostly dark cloudy sky and a bit of green fur.]

I...think I understand how to use it now. Just speak as I would normally?

[The picture straightens to show a green hedgehog with blue eyes and very unruly-looking quills. He's looking a little dubiously at the screen and doesn't immediately speak up. Then he clears his throat.]

I am new here and was hoping for information about this place. Anyone willing to spare a moment of your time?

I have been able to gather some knowledge of this world. Should you have question, I may be able to answer them.

[Oh look Mordred, it's that one knight you know.]

[bastard_hedgehog]

[Mordred stares.]

Sir Lancelot?

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Yes, that is my name. [He raises his face shield, his red eyes staring at Mordred with a raised brow.]

How do you know me?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

What do you mean how?

[Not understanding the question since his teacher is his teacher.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

As in why do you know my name. I have never seen nor met you before.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

You forgot? You took me as a student.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

I took you as a student? You are my squire?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Squire...no, but you were teaching me to improve my skill with a sword.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Tell me, who are you?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Mordred. I had recently returned to Camelot.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Mordred. The name is unfamiliar to me as your face. Returned you say? When was it you left?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

[A quiet voice offscreen catches his attention. Returning his focus to /lancelot, he frowns slightly.]

I...was raised outside of Camelot.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

I see. [His eyes betray a hint of interest before they return to their more hardened gaze.]

How is it you became my student then?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

[He has learned to catch thse slight changes.]

When I was in the castle, I saw you training. Decided I wanted to learn from you and you tested me.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Why were you in the castle and what was the product of this test?

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Just seeing the place I was born born.

You asked me to hit a dummy until I could no longer stand.

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

I see. [He goes quiet for a moment, thinking on things.]

Perhaps you are from later on in time. I have been told people may be drawn here at different times from each other.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

Is that true?

[It would explain things...but not make it easier.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

From what I have been told, yes. And you seem to prove it.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

If that's true. suppose I can't help it...

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

Though if what you say is true, then I cannot simply turn a blind eye. I will continue to train you here, in this world.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

You will?

[That makes him look disbelieving, but not in a skeptical way.]

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

It is my duty as a knight to fulfill my obligations. If I promised this to you, then I shall continue to serve as your teacher.

[Video]

[bastard_hedgehog]

I am grateful, but is it really important to uphold something you haven't started yet?

Re: [Video]

[knight_of_the_lake]

A true Knight keeps all vows; be them past, present, or future.
