[video] Searching for parents

[emet_sulk]

[ Emet-Selch looks a little harried and stressed today when the video feed begins. There is a little axolotl clinging to a front lock of his hair, gently chewing. He either doesn't notice or doesn't care as there is urgency to his gaze and tone. ]

Should anyone encounter a pair of ambystomae - I mean, axolotls - with a carnivorous tendency, please abstain from killing them immediately and inform me of their location. I need to return their child to them.

[ This won't stop anyone killing the many axolotls involved in the search but he has to hope he finds the parents before they're accidentally killed. ]

What? Would you rather I remember all your negative traits instead?

[afflatusexarch]

It would say that it'd be more apt of you to do so. You never fail to point them out.

[emet_sulk]

Well, if you insist:

I think you are too eager to help others and that attempting to learn multiple martial and magical disciplines did you a disservice in the mastery of any single one of them.

[afflatusexarch]

That wasn't an invitation to start talking about all of the faults you find in me.

[emet_sulk]

[ He huffs, and subsequently complains (in a tone of voice that suggests he's doing it to be dramatic): ]

If I cannot mention either your positive or negative traits then I suppose you've left me no choice but to discuss the weather instead.

[afflatusexarch]

So you consider the sound of my voice to be a positive trait.

[emet_sulk]

Don't say it like that. Your little boyfriend is going to think I'm flirting with you.

[afflatusexarch]

Little? I don't believe that "little" applies to him in any sense of the word.

Save for maybe his vocabulary.

In truth, I think he would readily agree with you instead of think negatively about the comment.

[emet_sulk]

Well... Good.

[ He doesn't want to add another compliment and make this more awkward. But he can't avoid a brief pause before he speaks again. ]

In any case, do let me know if you see any members of this one's species. I'd like to not be responsible for the death of an entire township because a child decided to run away from home.
