[ The feed clicks on to show a Pidgey staring down at the Gear, tilting his head this way and that like any curious bird would do. Then there's a screech and an Altaria's head also pops into the view, and they're tilting their heads, chirping, and the Pidgey gives a tentative peck at the Gear before the Altaria bends its long neck to pick up the Gear- ]

--What are you two doing? Zephyr, hand that to me. Avion, do not be a mischievous little fowl, or I will send you back into your ball.

[ There are two screeches before the Gear is thrown at the voice. Caught swiftly in hand, the feed then turns to face a slightly irritated Saber/Nero who shakes her hand and places the Gear in a more proper position to watch her. There's a long, wooden object resting upon her lap, with Gladius the Scyther standing obediently by her bed. Judging by the small, wooden bits scattered around her, it looks like she's further tuning the makeshift "weapon," making sure the edges were heavily blunted and not too jagged enough, but still carrying a discernible shape. There are also three eggs of various colors placed upon her bed beside her. ]

Then again... Ah, yes, I did have a query. I am aware that there are several of those who have- had powers, extraordinary abilities back in their worlds. I was no exception, and it vexes me greatly, but even as a human, I was glorious enough.

[ But enough about that tangent- ] I am curious about where it all just... goes. And how? Surely there are some powers people had that were useful and not so harmful. [ As she talks, her eyes drift down to the wooden weapon in her hands for a moment. ] And for those who have stayed here for an interminable amount of time in this world... Do you not miss it?

He- [ You get a screech from your Altaria, Ven, to which she briefly silences with a glare off to she side. ] -is a spirited one, but not an evil one. Besides, when he is not so rudely interrupting me at times, his eagerness to sing and dance greatly amuses me!

You like singing and dancing then?

[He's curious now, since he doesn't know too many people who enjoy these things]

They are my life's passions! In fact, I wrote many songs and held many festivities where I danced under the limelight! It was exquisite!

[ You just had to ask, Ven. Now she's all fired up! ]

[Nothing wrong with somebody talking about things they enjoy, at least in his view]

Wow, you do all those things? That's pretty amazing.

Mmm, yes, the burning artist within me could not contain herself in sharing the talents she was so generously bestowed with! To do so would have been a crime to my citizens and to myself!

I bet people liked that. When somebody's really good at something, it's always fun to see.

A-Ah, well... [ Ahem. Faint blush. Such genuine praise? What? He doesn't even know- well, whatever. Ahem. ] It's always a matter of preference, but I hardly disappointed any of my audiences!

I think when you enjoy what you do, people can really pick up on the difference.

[And that's why he can say such things without knowing]

What kinds of things did you write?

Songs, various forms of literature: philosophical and fantastical... And plays! Alas, my works were not... They were too advanced to be understood by the people of my era.

So they didn't understand? Maybe people here would be different then, we're from all sorts of times.

Even then, it would still be understandable: true genius is hardly ever understood, no matter the time.

That seems like it'd be kind of lonesome.

... Only if you were to truly think that way, and if you let such thoughts get to you.

It doesn't bother you then?

That was all in the past. One would be a fool to dwell on something left behind them and out of reach.

Getting caught up in the past isn't good, I understand that. But I still think it'd be nice if people could appreciate what you do in light of it.

Hah. You are not one to let go on this optimistic idea, are you, Ventus?

I'd just rather have hope than not.

Besides, I can tell you're good at carving.

[A nod to her replica weapon there]

This? [ She holds up said object as though it wasn't already fully seen. ] It cannot compare to my true instrument of beauty, but one does what they can with what they have. At the very least, I can see you have an appreciation for such beauty.

I've never seen a sword quite like that one before. Is it special?

[He's actually wondering if something that large is heavy, it certainly beats Terra's keyblade in size. Maybe even Zack's sword]

Mmm, yes! It is the symbol of my status as the Servant Saber, the ultimate instrument that would even make the Muses bow their heads... My Aestus Estus.

[That sure does sound impressive. And being inclined to take her at her word, he can't help thinking that's pretty darn cool]

That's pretty amazing, I didn't know there was a weapon like that out there. What're muses though?

They are the Goddesses who bless those with great inspiration in literature, science, and the arts!

I didn't know somebody could do things like that...

[Impressed? Of course he is]

Indeed, hence why I am putting much effort into replicating my instrument, however far below it is compared to its original; it will be no less grand!
