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!]

[This reply takes her a few minutes.]

I need to become stronger. It's too complex to explain beyond that.

[Wow that's so vague even he can't decipher. Become stronger how? For what reason? There are too many worrying possibilities here.]

Seriously? You can't simplify it at all?

[She frowns further at this, but it's the irritation that pries more information about it from her.]

I want to be able to prove my worth. If I can become stronger then I'll be able to do much more than I can right now. I wouldn't have to sit around and wait...

[...Oh right. Probably to prove herself to be Chosen. He doesn't know what else he was expecting]

Right.

Well, hate to break it to you, but this place is all about waiting.

That's not true at all. [Not when she can train like this. Go out and do things like this without fear of being caught!!]

Anyway, do you use a sword or are you simply concerned? I'm interested in advice, thank you. [Not warnings. B(]

[Jeez...]

[Guess he has to give some advice. Being Kaneis means he has no authority what so eve--]

[Oh who is he kidding he never had authority as Zelos either. What a pain.]

Yes. I use a sword.

Then, please, tell me everything you can.

[a pause; should he REALLY do this?]

[Then again, better hearing it from someone who sucks at fighting. Which. in his experience here? Is a lot of people.]

How much experience do you have?

[Everyone always asks this. Ehhh...]

Nothing official. I've only been able to train on my own with my butler and I've fought a few monsters, but that's it.

[Well it is good to know, plus hey spying on sibling is fun. He wishes he could be surprised by her fighting monsters, but well...monsters are common and the Papal knights are pretty much useless]

No formal training, or practice in a specific style?

I have a style... [She thinks.] But training was never formal. I'm not sure I could describe it well enough in words, but I wouldn't mind meeting to show you if you'd like.

[- Aw crap ]

[He may be good at blending into crowds and going unnoticed when he wishes, but he's preeetty sure not good enough to disguise himself from his sister]

[So excuse time!]

Afraid I don't have time this week to meet. I'm pulling a lot of shifts at the clinic. Sorry.

[Believable enough for her right now. She's thinking, though, and honestly she's just been asking anyone she can to fight or train with her. So...]

What about next week? I have a lot of meetings already planned this week as well. [Like fighting Colette tomorrow >:T!!]

Already? Wow, you're pretty proactive.

I said that this was important, didn't I? I don't see how it's surprising.

Right right.

Anyway, just make sure you don't agree to the first guy that agrees to train you. There are a lot of different styles, and not every one is suitable for everyone. So...I dunno, demand they show you their moves and talk about their styles before you agree to any lessons.

[It's setting in that this guy completely ignored her suggestion...

It's kind of irritating, especially on top of him trying to correct her or something!]

You're awfully concerned. I can handle myself, so don't worry. I intend to train with as many people as I can, and any sparring partners I can pick up along the way will only help with that. In fact, I have a spar to go to right now!

[His come back is out before he can really stop himself. Old habits, they die hard.]

Sorry, I can't help myself. I have a soft spot for darling little girls.

[That's so weird and creepy and yet strangely familiar all at the same time that Seles actually isn't quite sure how to reply.]

What?

[There's a moment pause as he's currently like "GOOD JOB ZELOS GAWD". He's so glad the text option does not include his verbal commentary that must be going on]

Forget it.

[She should be thinking 'creeper alert' far more than she's thinking about how strange that was worded and how it reminds her of a certain someone's way of talking and his reputation.

She must just be hopeful. It's not like he'd spare the time to reply to her even if he was here, right?

Somehow the thoughts upset her further, and before she realizes it she's responding a little emotionally. Some weirdo thinks he can upset her mood when she was so hopeful about things... She wants to show him!!]

I'm challenging you. Next week!

[...Well that escalated quickly.]

What?!

I won't back down from someone who refuses to take me seriously. I mean it! Don't think I can't find where you are if you try to avoid me.

[Now who sounds creepy... except she finds this totally legit yep.]

Are you crazy?! You just said yourself you don't have that much experience- you can't just go around challenging people to duels!
