[The video opens on Leah as she appeared before leaving the city. As she always appears: long black hair pinned back with two bones, green dress tight around her neck.]

I know this place well enough to know that I should not be here. [Forgetting for the moment that she shouldn't technically be anywhere.]

 I advise whoever summoned me forth to return me with all haste, before I find the person in question and make them do it... what's the phrase? The hard way.

[She looks away from the camera, dissmissively.] That is all.

I was not born, I was created to serve my mistress. But yes, I was created in Hel.

You were created specifically for that purpose? Do you enjoy it?

[helsmaiden]

My most recent assigned task was trying, but I serve my mistress with pleasure.

May I ask your duties?

Re: text;

[helsmaiden]

Generally, greeting guests and providing counsel. More recently, I have been tasked with assisting the boy god Loki. I had thought myself finished with that task, but as he is here and my mistress is not, it seems I shall continue in that function.

Counsel of what kind, specifically?

text;

[helsmaiden]

Advice on dealings with other lords of the dead, or with the realms of the living.

You ask many questions.

I have never encountered beings such as yourself or places such as those you describe. Is it unreasonable to be curious?

text;

[helsmaiden]

Certainly not, I was merely remarking.

Tell me of your world, then, in exchange.

What would you like to know?

[helsmaiden]

What sort of realm do you come from, and what do you do there?

[logistical]

I take it since you mentioned the Norse god Loki, that you would be familiar with my world if I described it as Midgard?
