[Rhy is smiling when the video comes on, an open and bright thing. It's remarkable, really, that he is still able to see Alucard even when he's left the islands. This place might be terrible - but it can be wonderful, too.]
Hello, Luc. Are you enjoying your adventure?
[Esa is nearby, and Rhy has place the phone so that it picks up her too. That way Alucard can know they're both safe and thinking of him.]
[Isn't technology a wonderful thing? Alucard is fairly used to it at this point but that doesn't stop him from being charmingly surprised by this call nonetheless. A wide smile spreading across his face as he strolls across the deck of the ship toward the bow to gain himself a little privacy.]
Rhy. It's -- it's good to see you. Even if it must be through this little box. Here. Take a look at this!
[He turns the phone to look out over the ocean in front of him. Not a stretch of land in sight. How is his phone working? Your guess is as good as his own. He has no idea how they work.]
[It is an amazing sight, that unbroken line of blue, just the barrier between sky and sea showing that it isn't endless. Rhy is pleased by the sight of it - he knows that this is what Alucard loves doing, that he must be enjoying himself.]
Not quite as pleasant as the sight of your face, but lovely nonetheless.
[It's rather easier to be suave when Alucard isn't right there, distracting Rhy with his mere presence.]
