[Almost two weeks spent in Malnosso captivity and what does Gregor have to show for it?

Lots and lots of band-aids, mostly. Also a minor cold that has turned into a chesty cough.

Instead of any great torture, drugs, or whatever he'd been expecting, the Malnosso mostly took DNA samples. Blood samples. Tissue samples. He's from further in Earth-universe's future than most besides Ivan, so maybe his specific point in human evolution was of interest. He understands the "lab rat" metaphor pretty well now. There hadn't been a lot of space in his cell, so he's a little stiff and sore. At least the hallucinations are gone. That had been the worst part--having to assure himself that this was a normal reaction to solitary confinement. He slowly heaves himself to his feet, blindly scrabbling for his journal. Writing is not easy with all his bandaged fingertips, so he speaks, sounding hoarse, slightly congested, and exhausted.]
 

Ivan. [A pause. ] Buffy. Adele. Whoever's...interested, this is Greg. I'm back. [He coughs a couple of times, fairly hard.] The Malnosso...anyway, I'm fine. It...wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm heading home now. Did someone take care of my horse?

[He'll take about fifteen minutes to walk home from his spot in the woods.]

[ her nose wrinkles at owned. but then... ]

Heirs? A few of them? [ huff. ] You're young, yet. What's the rush? Does the inheritance have to go strictly top-down? I mean, not everyone is parent material.

I guess that's the downside to having a succession not dictated by...[ prophecy. magic. potential. ] Someone else.

Well. There's your problem. Sexism. [ she says it wryly, knowing full well (and privately) that her own lineage was similarly one-sided. ]

I guess that makes you kinda doubly important, huh?

Replaceable doesn't always equal out to...improveable.

Twenty? That's a bit late, isn't it? To get in on the dating game.

...My first serious boyfriend was at the age of sixteen. [ he'd given so much of himself, this conversation. she should give him a small line in good faith. ] But he was no emperor. Of age or not.

You said they were paraded. None you liked?

[ she relents without any embarrassment. oh. okay. maybe a twinge. a small epiphany of it in her wide, green eyes. of course -- other people quite possibly have had tragedies, too. her usual tactic of prying into someone else in order to avoid her own demons had backfired.

she could accept it gracefully. now. these days. it helps to finally be stable(ish) for once. ]


Of course. Please. Take control of the mic.

Hence the prompter part. But the holo?
