[There is a moment, and a click, and there is a camera that tilts from one side to another. Clearly whoever is manning the device isn't sure how it works.
There's a voice, then, a girl's voice, young and soft, and questioning, but it's not addressing the device, not yet.]
Like this?
Oh, I see, yes, thank you so very much-
[And then the camera stops moving, and settles on a girl; she's a teenager, the kind of girl who looks like she smiles often, and she does now. She's wearing a very fancy dress, the kind one sees in renaissance fairs. On the queen.]
Hello? Oh, hello!
Yes, is this right, I just speak-oh, this is magic indeed, I think!
[And someone off screen laughs, but Lucy is smiling at the camera, equally amused.]
Hello! I've been told, if I seek to make friends, and find those who may know of my country, I should speak into this queer magic box. I would also like to know how I could find a way back to my home? It's terribly important that I return before the High King think I am kidnapped, for that would be troublesome for many of the surrounding kingdoms. And I would not like it, on the besides, if my royal brother should think that I would be so foolhardy as to allow anyone to kidnap me! I am better than that, I should think, than to allow such a thing.
I would welcome any help, or any who might extend a hand of friendship towards me in this hour, please.

Did you - emigrate or something, then?

And you're a, erm...queen, you say?

What - you? Enacted a coup?
video
video
Really. How'd you do it? I assume you had the citizens of the place with you, then.

[She thinks about it.]
I could tell you the whole tale, but I think it is something that deserves a meal for the telling. Would that bother you, to wait? I do not wish to leave anything important aside, if you truly are curious.
video
Erm - yeah, of course. I'd be happy to buy you dinner.
video
No! No, I mean, I would gladly find a place to give you a meal, oh, you must think me so rude, I am sorry-
video
No, don't apologize. If you're telling your story, I'd probably owe you, actually. So I really will buy you dinner.
video
Perhaps I could make you something, it will be simple, but I've a fair hand for camp food, and I think it would be a better compromise?

[ She's sort of a picky eater. ]
