First Prayer [video]

[When the feed turns on, the face of a teenaged girl shows up! The short-haired blonde, violet-eyed girl might seem familiar to some of you. In a vast contrast to her fierce arrival, she seems a bit... nervous?]

Ah, bonjour... my name is Ruler, and I have been here for a little over a week now. It may seem forward, but I... have a request.

[Whatever it is seems to be bothering her, because she hesitates for a few moments before she speaks up again. She sounds almost timid now.]

Are there any residents here with... teaching experience? N-Not training, I am quite capable in that area! I mean...

[Ugh, she has to just spit it out.] I require... reading lessons. Writing, too, if that is possible...

[And now she's just. Steeling herself! Ugh, being illiterate in this day and age must be so horrible...]

My native language is French, so that would be ideal. I know how to speak Japanese [Thanks, Holy Grail!!], but I have heard that is a very... difficult written language, so I would prefer to avoid it, if possible.

Understood. I can help with the French.

[After all, he wouldn't be good at gathering information if he couldn't understand the languages.]

Japanese does take some getting used to. My name is Elian Zigmarl.

Ah, really? Thank you!

A pleasure to meet you, Elian. As I said before, my name is Ruler.

You're welcome, Ruler

[Gratitude is something that he's still getting used to.]

My schedule is pretty open.

As is mine. I train every morning after breakfast, but outside of that, you may schedule our meetings however you wish.

Ah. [He nods.]

How about at 3 to 5 in the afternoon? This way, we can finish anything that could be presented should any come up. Preferably, I would like to meet at a quiet place with as little distractions as possible. Two hours should be sufficient.

That time sounds fine. Shall we meet in the library? I'm not sure how often the residents here frequent either floor, but such places are meant to be quiet.

Noted. We can meet tomorrow?

[He may seem a bit uptight now, but wait until he gets to know Ruler and he'll loosen up a great deal. It's all part of what he was trained for.]

[Pfft, this isn't uptight. Jeanne's dealt with real uptight before, like those generals who were so against her joining the army, or leading their troops...]

Yes, of course! I will be right on time.

[Whew, that's good. His father was a commander that ordered his troops and Elian was among them. He didn't start smiling until recently.]

Until then. I'll leave you to the rest of your evening.
