[ The video feed cuts on to show a very irritated looking girl. She seems to be in her late teens, and her thick lips are pursed tightly. The look might be a slightly familiar one for some residents, or ones that have seen the other Hale around. ]

Look, I feel really bad for this place and all. [ The sarcasm drips off of every word. ] My heart bleeds, really. But I don't have time for this, I have my own 'battles' to fight.

[ She's Not Pleased, capitalization included. She's frustrated that she's been taken against her will, taken so soon after she had been down and out for so long. The people weren't even clear if her brother was here.

She hopes it's not the Alpha pack. ] Derek, are you here? We need to figure out a plan to get home. I'm not twiddling my thumbs in this place any longer than I have to, this isn't my war to fight.

[ Cora is very adamant about this. She also might be thinking of a way to tell the emperor to sit and spin. ]

Indirect? But one of my friends here is from a few days earlier than I am. And, since we spent those few days looking for his mom, his disappearance would have, you know. Been noticed. But he was there, and he wasn't missing for the months that he's been here.

Does this help?

[ She does have a point there. And when she thinks about it, Derek was from before she got healed but he was still there for her back home. Hm. ]

That does make sense. Same sort of thing with my brother. [ She purses her lips. ] Thanks. That's at least promising.

It's not a problem. And I hope it helps. I mean... I have reasons to be okay with being here, on a general principle, but I get how it can be really off-putting.

[ Beat, and she adds with a small smile. ]

Your brother all right? I mean, I'm sure he's better off with you here and all, but just checking.

He's fine. [ Her mouth quirks a little despite herself. ] Now that I can keep an eye on him.
