[ When Nimona appears on the shellphone, she's wearing a manta ray onesie and has an extremely big manta ray plush as her pillow. ]
I know some big terrible things are happening right now, but that's kinda the point of this. I just need a distraction, because I dunno if I'm gonna get much sleep anyway.
[ She'd rather be out there searching, breaking things... ]
Let's talk about our worlds. It can be about anything. Stories, legends, stuff that's happened to you personally, whatever. I'll start.
[ The shellphone is propped up. ]
My world is weird. We've got knights and a kingdom, but we've also got crazy levels of tech compared to this place. Flying vehicles, laser weapons, those sort of hologram screens. Don't ask me how any of it really works, I only know how to use it.
We've got royalty... though the queen was recently killed. Not sure who's gonna be in charge now. I don't pay that close of attention to what the humans do. And we've got our old stories too. Mostly about a monster and the woman who defeated it a thousand years ago and became a hero.
[ Nimona points at herself. ]
It's me, I'm the "monster". Not really a monster, though, just different from everyone else in my world.
Your turn, if you wanna talk to anyone.

...So you wanted to work for a villain?
[ There's no judgement there, just sort of amused curiosity. He grins and tilts his head to the side a little. ]

I thought that maybe a villain might... understand me a little better. Outcasted, hunted, on their own. I mean, I won't say that our Kingdom doesn't need a "villain" to shake things up. They built so much on an old story about a monster and a hero, where only those of noble blood can become a knight, where they're taught as children to hate and kill anyone or anything that's different.
So yeah, I liked the idea of working for a villain. But I didn't turn my back on him when I found out he was framed and not actually a villain either.

[ His original goals made him either a hero or a villain, depending on perspective. He's pretty sure he was just a villain in the end. But he doesn't say any of that.
She seems like she might understand some of it, but he's not about to chance that all the same. ]
