[The video starts with the camera shaking around. Through the shakiness, one can make out Hughes' knees and feet and possibly the floor.]

Here we go!

[The feed suddenly jerks up and the floor can be seen clearly, but the video starts moving around again soon after. The communicator is being waved.]

Record this! Record this!

[A hand takes the device, and it stops shaking excessively. Bakura replies.]

Okay!

[The communicator gets turned around and positioned properly. One can see Hughes is bandaged up and sitting in a wheelchair. Behind him is Amaterasu who is standing on her hind legs with her front paws set against the handles of the wheelchair. Bakura talks to the two of them.]

Everybody wave!

[Amaterasu grins and raises a paw to motion a wave. Her tail is wagging hard. Hughes grins and waves too.]

Look at what Ammy can do!

[Hughes jabs his thumb in her direction. Bakura speaks up and positions the camera so it's easier to see Amaterasu.]

Pretty impressive, ne?

[Amaterasu barks a couple times and pushes the wheelchair forward. Hughes starts laughing really excitedly and jokes between his laughter.]

Don't mind us! Just out for a stroll!

[Bakura laughs from behind the communicator and follows after as they move along. After a few more seconds, Hughes turns and waves his arm at Bakura for the communicator. He chuckles as he speaks.]

Okay, okay, that's enough of that. I think we all can see how talented Ammy here is now.

[He grins at Amaterasu. The camera shakes a little before the video feed is cut off. There is a text note beneath the video.]

Whoops.
Sorry! I was so distracted after that I forgot to post it up on the network yesterday. Thanks so much for helping me out, Bakura and Ammy!

[It seems the video was recorded some time in the afternoon the day before.]

Huh. Typical Roy. It's good to hear that you've been mostly successful.

Hm? Ah, well, I was bleeding all over the place, hahaha. Pretty gross stuff, etcetera etcetera. I was helped to the clinic and got patched up.

A month, huh? That's quite some time. So you're used to living here then?

[Bleeding all over the place? Riza can only think of one particular time when that would have been the case...]

I see. I hope you're feeling better.

Yes, it's been awhile. Long enough that I know the place well, and have settled in a little bit.

[But she didn't plan to truly settle. They needed to get home.]

Yeah, I am. Thanks for your concern.

That's good. It's hard to fight for someone if you're not comfortable being there. [But of course they knew about that already since, even in war, they tended to move from place to place.]

Anyhow, it really is good to see you. I'm glad you've been around to keep Roy on his feet. My absence—while completely unintended—is something that makes it hard for him to keep going sometimes. I'm really grateful that you've been around to help him—really.

Mm, you too, sir.

[It really was good to see him.]

It's my job, sir. You don't need to thank me.

[Among other things. Not to mention, until recently, she hadn't been doing the best at said job.]

Hehe. Still. Even then, I'm grateful. Just because it's your job doesn't mean you actually have to do it.

[She probably does not realize how much her general presence tends to help Roy though—since it's something familiar. Oh, well.]

[She knows that it used to, and she hopes she's on that path again, after so long.]

...You're welcome. We both know we do these things because we want to, though. Now that you're here, though, I'll be expecting you to help.

But of course. It's not easy dealing with that idiot sometimes. If you ever need my help, feel free to contact me, and I'll be over as soon as I can. I'll return the gesture as well, if that's all right with you.

That sounds fair.

[Roy should be afraid of this. Yep. Doubleteaming.]

[Yes, he should be!]

Alrighty! I'll catch you around then!

[He grins broadly and cuts off the feed.]
