[Letha's confusion over this new technology is clear from the first moment of the video. She's turned on the camera facing away from her, showing her desk full of neatly organized piles of paper, all forms with neat cursive scrawled across them. The angle is skewed, camera shaky, and she keeps moving it as she tries to figure out the device.]
There's absolutely nothing like this in my world...
[Sure, she'd tried very hard to follow the orientation instructions, but she's handling it much like a grandmother with her first smartphone. She finally gets it turned around, but that just gives viewers a worm's eye view of her shocked face as she sees the unflattering angle and turns it back around to her desk.]
If only I could write on these, it would be so much simpler. Well, anyway. Can anyone hear me? I thought it might be prudent to contact this 'network'... and see if anyone who understands these... inventions better than me could lend me a hand.
[Go easy on her, she's never even seen a telephone or typewriter before.]

[Cecelia.]
I hope you don't find it impolite of me to offer my services, if the need for a battle arises. I understand how important it can be to die the way one intends to.

[Ivar liked to study them the way he studied people. He like to know how things worked, whether that was people or machines.]
no subject
[Although god knows no one will be quick to supply a pregnant woman with a sword. It'll take a bit of work to be able to practice comfortably.]

You should spar with me. [He does alright for himself despite not having use of his legs.]
no subject
[Her eyes light up at the face of the challenge. It's different from asking Roy to spar - she's sure she can trust Ivar not to go easy on her.]
Do you have a time and place in mind?
no subject
[He sounds confident in his abilities, but that's only because Ivar has worked so hard in his life to get to the level where he's at. His brothers are some of the best fighters in Kattegat and he's right up there with them, even without his legs.]
There's a training hall not too far from the housing. They have weapons there. Does tomorrow work?
no subject
[After a second she pauses, and her face turns a bit pink.]
Hold on - I don't believe I caught your name.

Ivar Ragnarsson. Ivar The Boneless to some.
no subject
[She can't imagine any way that calling him 'Boneless' would be preferred.]
My name is Letha Regis. I hope you don't find me rude for failing to introduce myself earlier.
no subject
[Mister made him feel old.]
Don't worry about it. I've never been one much for manners.
