[The video turns on revealing an old woman, dressed in a plain, grey dress, with a warm shawl around her shoulders. She is set in a chair, looking down at the recording curiously.]

Ah! There it is. I thought that it might work.

This must be the community of ducks my dear niece was telling me about. Great-niece, actually, but never mind that.

I thought I should inform you all that my niece, Miss Sophie Hatter, has decided to go forth and seek her fortune. She left her magic book in my care, you see so I imagine she will be out of touch for quite some time. She told me of her friends here, and wishes you not to worry. She will be quite alright, I imagine.

My name is Sophie as well. Old Sophie, that is. She is my namesake, after all. [She gives a wry smile.] A pleasure to meet you all, even if the method is rather strange.

My, but that is quite a mouthful. Will Mister Tath suffice?

[elloran]

Elloran would be enough. Though the equivalent to "Mr." in my world is "Ton". Though it would be more like Dr, I suppose, given that it is a title...

Um. Sorry, English is not my first language, as you can tell.

Ton Elloran would be fine.

[cleanestwitch]

I see. I appreciate you clearing that up for me. I do hope I did not come across as rude?

[elloran]

No! You are the first in quite a long while to not refer to me as "Ton" and for that I am appreciative.

[cleanestwitch]

Is that so? Then I am happy to oblige.

[elloran]

Shall I call you Madam Sophie, then? It seems only fitting.

[cleanestwitch]

It all seems rather grand for someone like me.

[elloran]

Would you prefer something different?

[cleanestwitch]

Miss Sophie would do fine.

[elloran]

Very well, Miss.

[cleanestwitch]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
