[video] UN: danslalune

[The camera is rather shaky at the start of the video, through unfamiliarity with the technology. It soon straightens out to being somewhat stable, and Astolfo comes into view.]

Hey, everyone! Guess what!

[He's breathless with excitement, going faster than his words can really keep up.]

Astolfo airlines is noooooooow OPEN!!

[With a dramatic flair, he quickly turns the camera to show a Hippogriff, stabled and calm. Off-camera, Astolfo's voice can still be heard, though in a hushed whisper:]

Come on, do the thing!

[After a moment, the beast spreads its wings out, and lets out a cry similar to that of an eagle. Astolfo then turns the camera back on himself, absolutely beaming.]

Come down to the stables if you want to meet him! I promise his friendliness on my worth as a Rider!

[Which may not be much, depending on who you ask.]

Comments

I couldn't possibly have a steed that objects to hugs.

[What do you think Astolfo was doing for the 20 minutes-or-so before he made the broadcast?]

[shiritai]

Then, so long as he does not protest, I will stay here.

[ hug! that! griff! ]

Have you managed to ride him yet?

[riderofcharlemagne]

[You stay there forever, Violet.]

Not yet, with all the excitement I haven't had the chance.

[He gets an idea, and grins.]

He's a two-seater though, if you want to go for a test drive.

[shiritai]

[ And with that, Violet finally emerges from the feathermageddon, with a look of what is probably surprise on her face – though it could also just as easily by that she's about to sneeze with all the fluff up her nose. ]

Would be be accepting of two riders, before even taking one?

[ That sure isn't a 'no'. ]

[riderofcharlemagne]

With my riding skill, there'll be no problem! Just give me the reins and everything will go smoothly!

[Bragging over with, he then addresses what concern he feels she might have.]

I promise, on my worth as a knight, you won't risk falling off.
