[Initially, Victor had opted for a video post to explore how the function worked. Now he's settling for text because he prefers the slower pace of the medium, and doesn't feel as pressed to immediately respond. Writing gives him time to think on what to say, and time for other people to respond. Audio gives him a pressure to reply, and he doesn't feel eloquent about what he's saying. This technology is new. It makes him feel ignorant and like he's bumbling through a conversation.
And he personally finds it harder to tell what a person is saying from their voice alone. At least with a video recording one can see someone's lips moving and their facial expressions.
It's a simple enough task to switch to audio, but he won't because he simply hates it. People are free to respond however they like. He doesn't mind if people want to reply slowly or not at all, and is happy enough to be afforded the same courtesy. This is a small problem and he's got other things to worry about, right now.]
Forgive me for interrupting. I would like a minute of your time, if I may.
Upon entering this strange land all of us were given powers. I am eternally grateful for retaining the use of my transmutations, but I fear my third gift requires your consent. The fact I have dedicated my life to saving another has not gone unnoticed by our hosts. They are likely accurate with their description of Power Amplification. But surely they cannot expect me to conduct myself in hit-and-miss experimentation without seeking your consent.
Alas, two words were all they gave by way of explanation. I must say it's a troubling thought that we arrive blind to our capabilities.
This will not do.
Would anyone be so kind and willing as to help me develop this gift?
Thank you.

There's no use apologizing for whatever happened. Pity is bad enough. False pity is a slap in the face.
But he... is sorry... for what this young man went through back home.]
Mess with you? What do you mean? I'm afraid you have me in the dark on this matter.

Mind your own business.

For you're as keenly insightful on that matter, as you are on your temper.
