Video; UN: seeingtheworld

[When the video comes up, it shows Reaper and Luca on the cold and frozen beach together. Whoever's filming them is standing back and very low to the ground, seeming almost like they're trying to stay out of sight. Luca is bundled up just in case, even though he's wearing Fern's sun pendant which keeps him warm, and is starting to do some stretches.]

You know...I know I've seen people on the network call you a monster before, but I think they're wrong. I think you're actually really nice. You're teaching me how to defend myself, and you helped me get around all those traps when people were hunting vilebloods, and when you lived in the house with us you cooked food for us every day!

[He shifts positions and goes into another warm up stretch.]

I think they're just scared because you look scary. Like how people are with sea monsters back ho--

[With one of the stretches, he turns his body enough to spot the individual broadcasting this.]

Camilla? What are you doing?!

[Luca rushes over to Camilla, who is now beginning to burrow in the sand.]

Camilla, what did you do?

[She looked how she does when she broadcasts something, only...he hadn't asked her to broadcast anything. And now she's digging a hole like she's trying to get away, which definitely makes Luca think she's up to something.]

And you're my omen! You can't just avoid me!

[With their Wraith fluttering around peeved about the wind and Camilla scuttling around, Reaper had concentrated more on showing and urging Luca to practice basic self-defense and how to get out of certain holds. The open beach made it easy to show but a bit more difficult to talk thanks to the wind. Thus he hadn't been paying much attention to their Omens over the task at hand.

It seemed to be done, and he had given Luca some homework to practice before their next sessions for more advanced pointers.

He crossed his arms over his chest when Luca flew into a sentimental warm talk of compliments, and he snorted from his nostrils. That was not the image he liked to put up after all, but he was tolerant of it because it was Luca and the kid was the pure cute kind anyway. This was the kind of kid his Aunties would have fawned over.

So he was tolerant up until Wraith flew to his shoulder and gave a classic annoying peacock call and definitely showed off. That tipped him off that something was up, and he looked sharply to Luca's little crab.]

She didn't just broadcast that to everyone...

[He looked sharply at Wraith who bobbed his head and seemed spitefully amused about the whole affair. He checked his Omni and groaned.]

I'm going to show your Omen scary...

Oh come on Reaper. It's sweet and you know it. If some people know about it, what will it hurt?

[Of course Luz had seen this. She would eat this nonsense up. She definitely was the 'friendship is magic' type from what he had gathered.]

It will hurt. It's already hurting. By associating with me and making such public statements, it could put you, Luca and everyone else at risk.
