[At first, she's quiet for a little while. She opens her mouth as if she knew what to say before but now that the camera's rolling, she's second-guessing it. And so there's a pause before she starts talking.]

Matthew's gone.

[... and she looks a little confused, as if she never expected to say those words. They sound so foreign.]

... sheesh. Can he ever leave without causing me problems?

Well, now you know.

[A bit of a shrug and she ends the feed.]

I-I guess you could call her that...

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

Cuuuuuute!

Obi was watching out for her for you, huh?

It's the lesser of two evils. Sometimes you just gotta deal when bad things happen.

Don't I know. I may be a prince, but I'm not sheltered, you know.

[sweeperesque.livejournal.com]

I figured. You're more down to earth than what I'd expect from a prince.

[countrybeloved.livejournal.com]

Really?

[A laugh]

Well, thank you, then.
