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!]

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

Whoa wait, Colette's here too?!
[...Oops.]
text; 1/2
[It's sent though she meant to erase it, and then she's switching to video.]

She looks very serious and doubting as the video turns on.]
Why don't you show yourself? How are you acquainted with Colette?

Think you can guess that one.
Yo Seles. Welcome to Exsilium.
video / LOCKED to Zelos 1/2
She had caught the signs but the disbelief was still sharp. Why was he replying? Why was he here? Why was he pretending to be someone else like this? Did he just think she was useless, that she shouldn't fight, and maybe that she'd listen to someone else or... Or what.
She doesn't know but she's hurt, and more than a little confused, and completely unsure how to react. She told him some things she would never have revealed if she knew it was him. If she knew he could see it--! The hand that had clutched at her chest in shock drops to her lap where she can clench it tighter even while replying.]
video / LOCKED to Zelos
[Her face is red with more than one emotion, and she nearly smacks the tablet off the table in her frustration.]
That's all you have to say after all of that?! I can't believe you! Why didn't you..... [But she trails off and she's shaking her head, trying to catch the words she wants to say.]
...When did you get here?
video / LOCKED to Seles
[He meanwhile keeps his composing, the full act on. And you know, just focus on that last question there]
Oh about three months ago.
video / LOCKED to Zelos
And it seems so unreal to be seeing him again. Seeing him alright again...
But her words are in a cold tone as always.]
Well, I'm surprised that the Chosen isn't going around as loudly as usual. I couldn't even tell you were here. [Truthfully...] Were you even going to tell me?
video / LOCKED to Seles
[For her pointing that one out? He'll come up with an excuse. It's not a lie really, but it's not exactly the full truth either]
Well you know, got taken to some strange place against my will with all sorts of weird people here- seemed stupid to advertise myself as the Chosen.
I was. [Though I was hoping to procrastinate as long as possible..]
video / LOCKED to Zelos
[It's kind of bratty, how she says that, but she feels like she has a right to pout in this way. He was, huh. And when would that have been...! She can't believe this. She doesn't know what to think.
On the one hand, she's so happy to see him. On the other, she's terribly afraid. Worried. Thinking he hates her and wants her gone and now she's a burden here, and someone does know about her illness after all. But she was going to prove herself...
She doesn't want this to get in the way of proving herself.]
Anyway, since obviously you care to know where Colette is more than anything, yes, she is here. She arrived when I did.
video / LOCKED to Seles
[She's as harsh as ever. he wonders what's got her in a worst mood, the fact he had pretended to be someone else initially or the fact that he's here at all]
[Oh who is he kidding, he knows what the answer is]
[But that explains why Colette is news to him, if she came in at the same time as Seles]
I don't care about where she is more than anything, it just caught me by surprise is all.
[Though he wonders if.... Nah. She's probably from that other timeline or earlier like everyone else]

Do we still have to duel?
video / LOCKED to Zelos
N-no... [Not yet. Not now! Maybe she should hurry this along. Urge him to hang up.
But she wants to hear him some more...]
video / LOCKED to Seles
[Though part of him doesn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed that his sister didn't want to fight him. Whatever]
[Oh wait he knows something he can say]
Anyway, there hasn't been any sign of the Church or Royal Court here, so you're free to live as you please...you know, once you overlook the current circumstances.
video / LOCKED I'm tired of typing names YOU KNOW
[Or rather, she'd been living like that to begin with once she got here. Assuming she could be doing so. Not wanting to be held back like normal, not wanting to have to be.
Anyway she's continuing to be snappy for lack of knowledge of how else to act in this situation.]
The circumstances aren't that bad, are they?
video / LOCKED FINE FINE
It's a war.
