[The screen flickers slightly before revealing a smiling young face, red eyes wide in wonder as she stares at the camera. The girl looks very excited, or at least eager to see what this device does. There's almost a sense of pride emanating from her - after all, being in a family of magi meant that they avoided contact with modern technology as much as possible. So getting this thing to work is quite the accomplishment, and she looks around for a few moments around the edge of the screen - checking things, probably - before looking back at the camera.

Unfortunately, she doesn't notice that it's upside down.]

Hello everyone! I'm Ilyasviel von Einzbern, but Ilya is fine. I'm new here, so I'm looking for someone to be my older brother!

[She smiles again. It's not in her intention to further explain what an older brother entails, since the best older brothers would already know what to do without her telling them. Ideally, the older brother would be someone who's actually older than her, but if they act and look older than her, that's fine too. All things considered, that really shouldn't be too hard...]

I guess a big sister would be okay too... but a big brother would be better. So, someone come play with me, okay?

[Her eyes wander off to the sides of the screen again. A few moments pass by as this continues, and the girl mutters a barely audible 'how do you turn this off?']

[Looking at where Shing pointed, she nods.]

Okay! Thank you, Shing!

[Oh, one more thing - ]

Are there any apartments free on this floor?

There should be plenty! Last I checked, Kohaku and I were the only ones on this floor, so we should have several extra here.

[ And he nods in emphasis. ]

I'd check anyway, though. Just to be sure.

Okay, I will! Thank you, Shing!

[And with that, Ilya gives a small bob and heads down the hall. Somehow, she's managed to find a good big brother here!

It's stil a really new and strange place, this Vatheon... but at least she has someone to ask questions to now. Maybe she won't be as lonely as before any more!]

No problem, Ilya! Don't hesitate to ask for anything if you need it, okay?

[ Shing smiles, waving back at her and watching her for a bit with a small smile before he heads to his own apartment.

She was such a sweetheart... he'd decided. He'd definitely watch over her and protect her. She was his precious younger sister, after all~ ]
