Day 113 [Video]

[The video comes on, showing Dilandau crouched on the ground, pressing his back into a corner. Though he's trying to focus on his screen, his eyes are darting everywhere, checking for threats and spies. He looks drawn and terrified.

He licks his lips, opens his mouth to ask a question, then closes it. He swallows and tries again]

What did you do to our house, woman?

[That attempt at sounding like his usual self fell flat, since he doesn't dare speak above a croaky whisper.  The Sorcerers who hold them have made it clear that he's at their mercy. He doesn't dare try to attract their attention again.]

[Brigid forces herself up, though it makes her go pale to move. She swallows hard against the pain.]

Dilandau? Dilandau, are you alright? Where are you?

[Hmm. He could poke fun - he really could - but there's not a whole lot to make fun of. Besides cruelly, and while god knows he's good at cruelty, it doesn't have quite the same appeal when he hasn't picked out the deserving victim himself. And it's something of a shock, really, seeing Dilandau like this.]

If you were trying to make this private, you didn't.

I didn't do a thing, other than fix it. There was an earthquake.

[Most of her irritated tone is on autopilot. But like she's going to tell him that he was missed. Never. (Only, he was.) Fortescue's frown is somewhat at odds with her tone, however, as she blinks at her feed.]

Where are you?
