001 [ video ]

[When the video clicks on, it's nicely arranged so that Seles is visible sitting in a chair in her room and her hat doesn't take up too much of the screen. Her hands are folded formally in her lap off screen and she gets right to the point.]

I'm interested in training... So for those of you who happen to be experienced in using swords, I'd like to request that you share your routines with me. I could make my own, of course, but I've heard it's more educational to encompass knowledge from a large variety of people.

And could Cloud respond to me as soon as possible? It's... regarding the same thing!

...Thank you. [Click!]

Yes, I do! I've trained for... some time [a vague and unhelpful answer, she knows] but it was never truly official.

[This means she did it in secret but. Yes.]

[knightoflight]

I'd be curious to learn your style as well.

Have you ever used it in combat or merely sparring?

[quarterelf]

...I've used it in combat a few times, yes.

[knightoflight]

You don't sound pleased about that.

Where shall we meet?

[He misses sparring: he'd love to get started.]

[quarterelf]

Should I be pleased about combat? A-anyway... There are training rooms, aren't there? Could we go there?

[knightoflight]

If you believe in your cause, what you're defending, then you should feel pride in fighting for it, don't you think?

All right. I could meet you there.

[quarterelf]

...That may be the idea, yes. I feel that once I become stronger as I am here, I will gain pride in my abilities. [It's just different back home.]

I will meet you there, then. Thank you.

[knightoflight]

I know you will. You have a warrior's spirit.

[quarterelf]

You really think so? [She actually flushes, struggling to keep a straight face.] I mean, of course I do! I would be ashamed if I didn't give that impression.

urgh what a week. x_x

[knightoflight]

There's no need for shame, friend. No one could see you as anything less.

[He'll meet her in one of the training rooms. ]
