[Jaime’s holding his phone in his hand like it’s a bomb waiting to explode. And yes, he knows what bombs are. Even if he doesn’t understand how they work.]
Do I need to chant some spell…?
[Sydney can be seen partially as she stands off to the side. She’s trying not to laugh, really, and she manages to cover up her amusement with just the barest of smiles. And to think that the mention of magic doesn’t even really bother her all that much anymore.]
No, it’s already going. It started when I had to you push the button.
[Jaime looks surprised. He moves the phone closer to his face, giving a nice, big, super flattering picture of his forehead. Then he moves it back again until he is… mostly in frame. At least he can figure out that much by the tiny moving image of him.]
So I simply… talk to it?
[She reaches up and adjusts the view a little bit so that it’s not...cutting off his chin.]
That’s right. It’ll record your message, and then send it out electronically.
[Jaime nods, careful not to move the camera at all.]
All right. You lot may have been given the title of knight, but so few of you know how to ride a horse. In the land I come from, you’d never have been allowed to leave your father’s house, let alone so much as become a squire. It’s not even particularly hard.
So I’ll be offering my services in teaching those of you who’d like to learn to act like proper knights. Come to the stables at dawn tomorrow if you wish to learn.
[A beat. He looks to Sydney again.]
How do I make it stop…?
[Ever patient, she points out the correct spot.]
You just press the same button again, and then I’ll show you how to send it.
[He touches the button. The screen goes dark.]
