[Video] First Decree~

[The feed flickers to life and there is a curious blonde staring into the camera, tilting his head curiously. Or one can only assume he's staring, it was a bit hard to tell with flippy bangs hanging low over his eyes after all. A wide smile is on his face and while it looks friendly enough, there is something a little.... odd about it maybe.]

Well, since the Prince's phone, which is much much nicer than this one by the way, is not working, I'll resort to this.

I'm a little... ushishishi, lost apparently. Would anyone like to help me out? There are an awful lot of names on this contact list, surely someone will, yeah~?

[He isn't going to comment on the few names he recognizes on the mystery phone, all boring names anyway. But if all else fails, he knows there is a Vongola ally he can reach, a Millefiore traitor, and then the Millefiore bastard himself...

Bel wasn't so stupid to go after that one himself though. Oh no no. So he'll wait and see first.]

Quite the dilemma indeed.

Firstly, where am I? And secondly, where is the nearest hotel? It's far too cold out here for the Prince's tastes. [Tugs his Varia jacket closed further over his thin t-shirt that lays underneath.]

There are a number of places to board in the vicinity of Somni and Espoir, but if you're looking for a more permanent place, any empty real estate is open for the taking.

I don't plan on staying. Just getting my bearings.

[Bel doesn't like how the man assumed that was even an option. It didn't bode well.]

Somni and Espoir, one of those the name of this dinky little frozen town?

Oh, dear. You haven't been informed, then. [Grin]

Regrettably, you can't leave Somarium of your own volition. That being the case, as soon as you "get your bearings," I would suggest finding a comfortable place that suits your tastes. If Espoir is too quaint, then Somni.

[Well all hint of his smile is gone and he's frowning at the screen name.]

... We'll see.

Where is this Somni?

The city beyond the village where I assume you are now. It surrounds Espoir in each direction.

So, just head out any direction and the city will be that way, hmm?

And to whom is the Prince speaking with anyway?

I am Sebastian, the Phantomhive butler. [Smiles and bows to the screen]

Hnnnn? So someone around here is rich enough to have a high-class butler, huh?

That may be interesting. [It's clear that Bel's not wasting any time and is already picked a direction and started walking. He's having fun keeping his balance on the ice, but has yet to slip.]

Regrettably, there are few of the nobility within Somarium. But my young master is keenly interested in making the acquaintance of any who should arrive.

[Sly smile] Forgive the impertinence, but I believe you claimed to be of royal blood?

From the looks of this place, I'm surprised there is any really.

[Grin widens.] Ahh, a real and true crowned prince. Ushishishi~~

I see. [Sebastian is not convinced, but he is graceful enough to humor him]

So this Phantomhive of yours is nobility then? [Bel doesn't really care (the only royalty he cared about was his own), but he's bored walking around out there toward the city, may as well find out.]

My young master is an earl and the heir to the Phantomhive estate.

[An earl is not the same as a prince, but again, he wouldn't care even if he were a king.]

I see. Hm~mm. Well if I end up staying here longer than planned, then perhaps that could be fun~ Meeting your earl.

By all means. I will inform my young master of your intent to call.

[Doesn't bother to correct him. After all, if he got bored enough, he may just call on the other out of sheer curiousity.]

And does the butler have any recommendations when I make it into the city? The Prince has high standards, you know.

Of course.

There are a variety of accommodations in the city. I would suggest avoiding anything within the industrial district, as the residences there are...less than desirable. But within the business and arts districts, I believe there are a number of fine options better suited your station. [Smiles with the last word]

Business and arts districts, the Prince agrees. Much more suitable.

[Bel isn't stupid, he doesn't miss the well-placed smiles. But he's also arrogant, so he's choosing to ignore any possibly sarcasm. Besides he was just help. At least he sounded loyal. Che.]

I remember seeing a map function on this phone, does it pertain to this city then?

Indeed. It includes all inhabited areas of Somarium.

[Busy butler is busy] Will that be all for the present, Sir?

Ah, the Prince can manage on his own juuuust fine. I'll keep you and your earl in mind if I'm in town long. Ushishishishi~
