[The video starts with a close-up of a man's face. He blinks several times, and then breaks out into a wide grin.]

Ah! I believe it is recording now, yes? [He straightens to his full height, but since the terminals are set at a height equal to about his waist, the feed is filled with the image of his breastplate and robes.

He stops and makes a surprised sound, and he squats again so that it focuses on his face.] Goodness. Why did they place these machina at...? Ah, well. [He smiles brightly.]

Hello! I am Braska. I have two things I would like to address today.

The first is to offer my services to any who need it, free of charge. I am a skilled healer with years of experience, and I need not rely entirely on White Magic. I am also capable of using natural herbal remedies, though I need some time to accustom myself to what is available here in Saeng Seong. I have to admit, I am not skilled in the use of machina and other advanced techniques, but if anyone would be willing to teach me, I would love to learn!

Now, of course, I am sure there are those of you who are asking, "what's the catch?" If it would make you feel better, you may pay me, but I truly will not ask for anything from you in exchange. This is something I did for a living many years ago when I was a priest. I want nothing more than to help. Please, do believe me in this.

Now, my second topic! I would like to hear about the magic where you are from. I have been studying magic since I was young, so it is of a special interest of mine, you see! Or, if you are from a place without magic, as difficult as it is for me to imagine... How does your home operate without it? I am willing to explain these things about where I am from, if you are interested!

[video] oh boy here we go

[Lulu had warned her. The day they'd arrived, Lulu had told her who else was there. Yuna hadn't sought them out, yet. Perhaps she should have. She'd meant to. On her own time, when she'd been ready to. She should have realized things couldn't be that simple.

Not to mention the huge difference between knowing and seeing for herself.

First his face, then the robes, then introducing himself... it really was him. Her father - whom had been dead since she was seven - was here.

How... how does she even talk to him? What could she say? She stays silent for a long time before she moves to reply. She's seated at her own terminal, her face fully visible.]

I- [Her voice falters for a moment, then steadies] If I may... I'd like to offer my help with healing.

[Under different circumstances, she may have made such a post to the network herself.]

[Of course he recognizes her. Even if he couldn't clearly see her eyes, how could he not recognize her? She looks so much like her mother. It makes his chest squeeze, even after spending the last seven years at his wife's side on the Farplane. He'd lost her, and, once again, she's not with him. And, seeing Yuna, hearing her voice, he -- She'll have to excuse the surprise clear on his face, the sudden mix of emotions in his eyes. He lowers his head slightly and brings his hands up to adjust his headdress.]

And I... would love to have your help. [He's smiling, because he always smiles. He... wants her to see him smiling.]
