[A few weeks have passed since his arrival; Hope's grown more accustomed to the way things run around here, finally gotten some climate-decent clothing, and is now attempting to stick his neck out further—for better or worse. When the video comes on, he's wearing a dark green turtleneck sweater—since there's no errant silver feathers sticking out behind him, this suggests that he opted to cover his wings instead of letting them hang out to be vulnerable.
His head is sort of halfway tucked on his folded arms, which suggests he's lounging across something—probably his bed. Hope props his chin in hand, staring at the camera.]
So... ah... [Idly adjusting the cuff of his sleeve.] I guess... it's time for me to go back to school, huh. [He gives a faint, nervous sort of smile.] Who here's already going? Um... I guess... i-it'd be nice to know who I'm going to be in class with. Or do they separate it by years here... like they did back in my hometown?
[There's the sounds of shuffling, then, and he quickly turns his head to the side.] W-what...!? H-hey, stop! [A black nose appears in view, along with the heavy sounds of panting—before a thick pink tongue drags over his cheek.] Gross! Cut that out, Baldr! I'm trying to... stop it! [He's clearly trying not to laugh, though, as half a curly black puppy face appears in the view, an audible thumpthumpthumpthump as his wagging tail smacks against the bed each time.] HOPE PLAY! HOPE PLAY!
We'll play later! [Hope's brow furrows as he attempts to shove the young dog away, now occupying the furniture. He gives up then, with a heavy SIGH, pulling the journal back toward him.]
I... guess they don't allow pets there, right?

I think I'm fitting in better around here now. And I'm used to these wings... finally...
no subject
The wings are such odd things, aren't they? Sometimes mine get all bunched up under my clothes. Anyway, I'm actually pretty close by! I live down the stairs, and I help out at the flower shop. If you ever need to find me.
no subject
It's good to know you're close by! Light said you're one of the few people in this place worth trusting.

[She feels a pang of sympathy at that last statement. She knew how hard it could be to have something you couldn't tell anyone... hard to imagine how much more terrible it would be when that secret might end your life.] I want to help as much as I can. Be strong, Hope. I know being here is hard...
