[What is this? A video? A video in which Charles is neither screaming his head off nor waving his intellect around at all and sundry?

Bless.

Actually this appears to be accidental - there's the noise of a tea kettle being quickly removed from heat, that buildup of a whine abruptly cut off and sloshing of water in a metal container. Most of the frame is occupied by the kitchen counter, a deep blue ceramic teapot, a jar of loose leaf tea and half of Charles' upper body - button up shirt with rolled up sleeves pushed past his elbows - sort of puttering around in the immediate area.

Loose leaf tea goes into a small metal tea straining ball, ball goes into the teapot, kettle pours hot water into teapot, kettle is returned to stove out of frame. Charles reaches up into a cabinet to obtain a cup, takes it down -

and drops it, suddenly, where it rolls off the counter and quietly shatters on the floor. His fingers are turning blue and he turns his palms upwards.]

Ow?

[Charles uses his hands to push himself away from the counter (his face isn't visible at this point) though doesn't get too far, if the soft thud is any indicator. There's a sound rather like a door slamming and then opening simultaneously in the next second.

The feed ends there.]

A sock is a much better idea! I don't always think of these things.

[She holds up a child-sized sock to the screen. Something small and lumpy is at the bottom pulsing faintly and irregularly.]

It was cold, I needed to warm it up.

That's a very good idea. [Why is it so small? This is worrisome.] You may want to go sit in front of a heater with it if it's still cold.

[She's very new to this whole 'feelings and emotions' things. Her heart as some catching up to do.]

That would probably be better than pouring boiling hot water on it.
