[The camera shows nothing but pavement, the edge of some wet fingers, and the ends of a really flashy red cape, fabric worn and water-heavy, trailing on the ground. Oh, and an adorable little white rabbit chomping down on the end of that cape.]

I don't get it. I don't freakin' get it at all. What--

OI!

[Suddenly the camera jerks and... goes flying. Seems Kamina, not knowing what it was, tossed it over his shoulder. It clatters against the coral, still recording for a few moments.]

Oi, lil' punk! Come here. I'll friggin' teach you to attack a guy from the rear when he ain't lookin'.

[Kamina dives for the rabbit, trying to catch it, and then the feed cuts.]

If he's attackin' my cape, he's attackin' me.

But it might have been an accident?

He was eating my cape. That ain't no accident.

But that doesn't mean he was serious about attacking you!

Don't attack unless you are serious! That's a man's way of fighting.

[blink blink]

But isn't that being reckless? It seems...that I don't quite understand.

It's good to be reckless sometimes. There's stuff worth fighting for.

There are but...

[if he could see it, there is a small smile]

It seems that I cannot afford to. At least, not right now.

Huh? Why not? What's hold you back?

Let's just say that here are some things that I need to deal with first.

What kinda things could you be dealin' with that keep you from puttin' your all into it?

Someone close to me is here and I worry what might happen if I were to risk it all.

I don't get it.

It's more that I question those around me.

I need to be careful.

You don't trust 'em.

...

Yes, you are correct, I don't. I am suspicious of people at times and I can be wary of them too.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. Trust gotta be earned.

[blink]

Yes, you are correct...it does.

Speaking of which, I had forgotten to give my name! My name is Nunnally and you are sir?

Call me Kamina!

[A light giggle]

Then so it will be, Kamina!

Other than what has happened, is there anything else that I can help you with?
