[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!]

[This takes a few minutes to reply too. Lloyd... It sounds familiar. And coming from this girl-- Colette?

...]

...Was he one of you? The ones traveling with my-- ...the Chosen One?

Yeah, the boy in the red coat. He's my best friend, and he's a really amazing swordsman.

He's here too?

[Who else is here from back there?! Ahhh... She pauses, clearly torn about more than a few things, before bluntly concluding:] I'm not interested in his help.

[ awww Seles is so modest. that's to be expected from a fancy noble girl! ]

Don't worry! I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

[quarterelf]

I-I'm not worried about whether or not he'd mind! [She's so confused by you Colette.]

This is something I need to learn on my own, thank you. [Ignoring that that is completely different than what she just asked for...]

I understand. [ And she does, better than most. Sometimes there are things you need to do on your own. ]

What about training together, then? Professor Sage says it's important to practice what skills you have in many different circumstances, so you're ready for whatever might lie ahead. You fight with a sword and shield, right? I use a pair of chakrams.

[...W-why is she so nice? She doesn't understand how to react to this at all. Especially when she's refusing repeated help.]

...Then we should fight!

[virtu]

Okay! I still have a blunted pair of chakrams I can use for sparring. When would you like to meet?

[quarterelf]

...Tomorrow afternoon. Please take me seriously for this. I don't want to lose to you.

video;

[virtu]

Right! I won't lose either!

[...She would comment that they can't both win, but she's too distracted by her own determination, so she ends it as such.]

I will contact you with a place tomorrow, then! Goodbye. [Click!]

Good luck!
