Video - Worry Wart (backdated to May 6th)

[When the video clicks on in the early afternoon, there's a quick view of the cloudy sky and the similarly grey ocean waves before Sola appears on the screen. He knows he shouldn't talk about the teams going down into the bubble on their mission lest the scientists try to block them for whatever reason, but he's worried and Johnny isn't here to ramble at about his worries. Especially since Johnny is kind of the cause of his worries...

So he'll just talk.]

I have a question. It's something I've been thinking about for awhile. Everyone wants to take care of the people they care about and keep them safe, right? But they also want those people to be happy and to do what they feel is right.

What do you do when the thing they want to do, or have to do, isn't something that's safe?

[Hopefully that's vague enough.]

I'm trying. I have stuff ready for when he gets back to help him out, but I don't know what else to do.

Can you go with him? Keep him safe in the moment?

He left already, and it's more likely he'd get in the way trying to keep me safe. I mean, I know he's stronger than me but I just wish he wouldn't put himself in danger so much. I kind of stayed behind so he wouldn't do that.

[It's one thing if Johnny gets hurt being stupid. It's an entirely different thing if Johnny gets hurt because of Sola. The Hylian would never forgive himself.]

Mm. [ He understands the type. Far too well, even. ]

Then support the from afar. Keep them in your thoughts and be there to greet them when they come back to you.

[~~Cloud, you are that type. Not that Sola knows that.~~]

I plan to, thanks.

[He's already been through it with others. On how it's not fare of Johnny to just leave him behind, on how being worried is normal, on what to do while he waits. He doesn't exactly want to go through it again.]

Um, what's your name, by the way? I don't think I've ever seen you before.

[ ~~Shhhhh it's how he knows this information so intimately.~~

He gives a nod. He probably could've (or maybe even should have) given more than that to work off of, but he's perfectly happy to leave the advice where it's at. ]

Cloud. I haven't been here long.

Oh, um, well welcome to Vatheon I guess. It's usually a lot better but the bubble broke so we're stuck up here for now.

Not that I mind that much, I like the sunshine.

[It's just when you're boyfriend's a vampire and the sun could kill him, you kinda wanna end up back under cover.]

I spent a little bit down in the bubble, but not long. It's... [ Still strange, who is he kidding. This island doesn't make things feel any better at all. ] Nice to have real fresh air, at least.

Yeah! My boyfriend is a vampire so we don't go out in the day much or else he'll turn into ashes. He has to stay in the house a lot up here so I still feel kind of bad, but we can go out at night at least.

Mm. Going out at night is more peaceful anyway.

I guess so but it's a lot harder to explore when its dark because you need a lantern and stuff. Plus fishing is better at dawn and dusk.

Still, if it means I get to spend time with him then night time is better.

Mm. I guess that's true. Though if you're lucky, the moon can be bright enough to see some things by.
