[ The feed flicks on with Rue leaning rather close to the camera, her face flushed and expression annoyed. She speaks tersely. ] I don't think there's any need for introductions. We're all in the same situation.

I was told I needed to work. This isn't possible for me. I'd like an alternative. Since I've just arrived, I'll also want a guide to acquaint me with the city... Keeliai. [ She enunciates it carefully, with exaggerated lip motions.

Now Rue sits back, putting her hand thoughtfully to her mouth. ] I've been going back through this... network, and there have been mentions of a school. I'd like to know more about that, in case I'm here for a while. [ Her expression darkens further. ] I was also told that time had... stopped at home. That doesn't matter. I want to go back. That is my first concern.

Thank you for your time. [ The video keeps running for a few more seconds as Rue figures out how to turn it off. ]

Going to be hard to pay a guide with the whole 'lack of working' thing.

Don't be stupid. I was given money when I got here. It should be quite sufficient.

If you don't plan on eating.

Do you have something useful to contribute, or did you just reply to be a nuisance?

I think telling a new arrival that her plans are unrealistic is a public service, but maybe some things have to be figured out first hand.

I'm aware that my plans are... not the norm. But I can't work. I need an alternative. That's all there is to it.

You look perfectly capable of working. I doubt her Imperial whatever will give you a grant when the rest of us are stuck working.

[Ordinarily she'd be a little scornful, but you look young.]

Wherefore canst thou not work?

[ The pony part isn't disconcerting. (Rue's teacher is a cat.) The language, however, is. ]

Pardon?

[Sigh. She's used enough to that not to simply repeat the question louder.]

Why can you not work?

It isn't something I can do.

[ Said with a minimum of hostility, because it was a politely meant question. ]

[Somehow this does not sound like a fruitful line of questioning. Maybe she is younger than she appears - Luna is hardly the expert on human aging.]

Have you someone to look after you, then? To see you properly fed and such?

I don't need someone to look after me. I'll speak to the Emperor when she has an audience next. I'm not too concerned about it right now.

Hmmm, I don't think the school is set up yet! It's weird that we don't have one, isn't it? I was surprised, too.

Are you sure you can't work at all? Some of the stuff you can do isn't that bad.

I'd thought that schooling might be another option. I'm not sure what I'd be qualified for, anyway.

[Raimei laughs lightly.] Girls our age aren't supposed to work, I know!

What kinds of things do you like to do? If it could be related to one of your interests then that'd be okay, right?

I'm a ballet student in the advanced class. I don't have my shoes, though, so I can't practice and I certainly can't try to make it a job.

Really?! [She's surprised at this answer.] You must be graceful. I've never done ballet, but I have to do a lot of footwork with my sword.

If all you need is shoes, then I bet we could find some! [She's ready to take this charge and set off on it right now, from the looks of things.]

I asked about it already. From what the kedan told me, I'd need to have them made specially. What demand would someone have for a ballerina, though?

[ She purses her lips. ] What do you need a sword for?
