21 - [Video]
[Hello, Luceti. Today, Eley's decided to set up a little video for people to look at while he asks a few important questions. He appears to be sitting under his willow tree, as he so often is, but this time he isn't alone. And he's not joined by a fellow Lucetian either, at least not the kind of Lucetian you might expect.
Sitting in his lap is a rather resplendent and fluffy chicken who appears to be enjoying some pettings whilst turning her head to glance at the camera every so often.]
I am not sure how many would recall but sometime in the past I found myself under a shift whereby I would believe in daily messages known as 'horoscopes'. On the final day, I found myself with an irresistible urge to adopt a chicken, and with the help of a friend we found one.
...however, I do not know exactly what to do with it now. I usually allow it to roam as I would hate to rob it of its freedom yet... I grow concerned for it at the same time. I leave food for it here and it often comes back for it, yet I know little about chickens or their care, or indeed their proper diet.
I am also unsure about its gender, nor do I know what name it should go by. If anyone could help me in that regard, I would be grateful.
[He seems to be about to turn off the feed but then changes his mind.]
I have one more question. I recall that my explanation of how I care for my people could be likened to that of a parent and child. Then I must ask, what is it like to have a mother? To be a mother? Or even a father for that matter?

But his smile brightens at that last part, and he laughs. ]
I don't know if she's waiting, but she's there, and I know she'll always be there if I went home.
[ Because his mother being anywhere else wouldn't make much sense to him. ]

[He protected his people after all, didn't he? Whether or not he could attribute that to being a parent, he felt it wasn't wrong to call himself a guardian.]
It must be comforting to know what you will have someone waiting for you. Someone to return to. I do not have a mother, but there are some I am fond of... I look forward to seeing them again. Before it is too late.
[He looks forward to it yes, but there's something sad about the way he says those words...]

[ What Eley says next is a bit sad, but more so concerning by that last part. Before it's too late? ]
What do you mean?
