Video | First Bitemark
[When the screen turns on, Garrett is nowhere to be seen. The video is facing outward and quite shaky, but some people will still recognize that he's in the infirmary. As he sees the video is finally working, he breathes a sigh of relief and turns the video back towards himself, jarring the video a little bit. Though it's hard to read emotions on a face half-covered, it's clear that he's scared and trying very hard not to show it.
His voice, still young despite his attempt at sounding more mature, has a peculiar accent to it when he speaks. His words come out stilted without the use of contractions.]
Do not like it in here. Smells wrong, like old blood. Feels wrong. Reminds me of back home, when bodies do not get buried right after battles and then you end up with places full of dark magic. Hell, do any of you know what I am speaking of? So many differences here from home. And I found this.
[The video swings back out again until it focuses on a very large footprint indented into the floor. This is what has gotten him so shaken up. There's an inappropriate, hysterical laugh from Garrett, the kind someone makes when they don't know how to handle a situation emotionally any longer.]
What big beast made that? And is it still around?

[Even with his mind conjuring every terrible what-if scenario involving just who or what that giant footprint could belong to, Garrett can still find a corner of his mind to conjure up a joke.
He grows suspicious at the offer of help. Maybe if it was someone he'd talked to, but he doesn't know this guy from Adam.]
Why you want to help, mister? What you getting out of this?
Video
Call me curious. I just arrived here, and I have yet to figure out the lay of the land.
no subject
[He hasn't got a good reason not to accept Balthazar's help, aside from his own stubborn pride and suspicion. One ear flicks back and the other stays forward, a sign of indecision.]
Gimme a name first, mister. Cannot trust if I do not even know who you are.
no subject
He knows enough to read the ear position as language, though.]
Balthazar Blake, although I'm guessing my reputation doesn't precede me here. I'm a sorcerer. White magic.
no subject
[If ever there was a word to promote a dramatic reaction in the fox, that was it. Garrett disappears from sight as he drops his phone on the ground, so Balthazar won't get a view of the shock that runs through his features.
When he picks it back up, there's a low growl emanating from deep in his throat and a look to his face that speaks of emotions he's trying to hide, covering them up with his anger. If he was afraid before, now he's downright terrified. And all that fear is directed right at Balthazar.]
You stay away from me!
no subject
He sighs, feeling old and tired, and possibly a bit hurt. His voice is calm, though, as he answers:]
I have no reason or desire to harm you in any way. If I'm that upsetting, I'll leave you be. But if you feel you're in danger where you are, you should leave and find a more populated area.
no subject
[He shakes his head.] Men like you, they have too much power.
