Ah... I seem to have gotten a handle on this device... I think...

[Ioder peers closely at the SFC in his hand, head tilting slightly to the side thoughtfully. For all his confusion, he looks slightly bemused. His first couple of weeks in Vatheon have been... interesting, to say the least.]

My cousin, Estellise, informed me that I should make an introduction here. My name is Ioder and-- I've never kissed anyone, not in the 18 years I've been alive--

[The bemused expression is gone in a flash, replaced by wide green eyes and hands over his mouth, voice coming out muffled behind them]

O... oh... so this is that curse-- Sometimes when I'm alone, I sing silly songs to myself to pass the time, because days in the palace were just that lonely--

[His hands clench tighter, eyes closing. Eventually he manages enough composure to reach forward...]

Perhaps I should do this another time...

[and turn the device off before it gets any worse]

O-oh... [Dark Link blushes too, not sure what to do with this new information.]

I've never done that either..

I'm... finding I'm not alone in this... so I suppose that means in the same way you aren't either.

I guess so... is kissing something people usually want to do?

I suppose it can be said that one of the high points of human existence is the ability to fall in love with another person... and kissing is one way of showing that love. At least that's how I understand it.

I'm afraid I'll never fall in love.

[oh damnit it all, this curse!]

[After a moment of blank staring at the camera, Dark Link's face turns bright crimson and he hurriedly shuts off the video feed.

Love, apparently, is a concept he's aware of.]

[Well!

That was rude...]
