Meredy will forgive you. This time at least! ( it was a joke of course, one that was accented with the smile that she wore easily again -- and quickly evolves into a reddening of her cheeks when he goes on... )

Celestia is full of many machines! Many technologies too -- though they are different than here in Crystallis, Meredy's teacher would be very impressed, probably! ( a student under an engineer herself, taking on the engineer job brought memories of their time together back... )

But hacking, that is new to Meredy. It is a good thing Chiaki made a game for practice -- Hack Hack Revolution! ( she laughs a little, recalling the time she spent playing, as the only one that seemed to really appreciate it -- ) It was like dancing, but with your fingers, instead!

( but of course, that brings her back to the reality of the situation. if she'd been more proficient, maybe they wouldn't have had so many losses... maybe some of the damage could have been avoided... well, it was another one for the guilt bank. )

I am... glad you are okay though, Ven. When this is over... let us go home together, okay?

[makingfriends]

[He laughs at the joke, but he subdues a bit more than usual to keep his motions to a minimum. Still, he's obviously glad.]

Heh... I'm still surprised, honestly. That thing didn't look like something you could control with a machine. [And learning how to do so via a game...? Well, Ven was raised to expect, acknowledge, and respect the major differences between worlds; that acts as a pretty effective cushion against shock and disbelief more often than not.

Plus, y'know, he totally trusts his roomie.

He nods at that last remark, though, his smile more serious, somehow.]

Yeah, same here. I got a little worried, too, y'know? [Fortunately -- or not -- he was able to keep his mind occupied.] It feels like forever since we've been home, now that I think about it... I'll be glad when we get back. [Whatever state it's in. If it didn't survive the assault, well... that's two homes he's lost now, but he's wiser because of it. He knows a home isn't a neighborhood, a plot of land, or even the dwelling itself, whether it's a two-story house or an ancient castle.

He's probably let the soup cool enough by now, so he pauses long enough to try it -- and shoots Meredy an instant smile.]

This is really good! Did you go all the way to the city for it?

[melnics]

You bet! Aqures Tosf has many things, some things not even from Aqures Ixen! ( too bad it was all about to get obliterated to itty bitty pieces. )

Meredy... does not know when the magic that sent us here will wear off, but after all that has happened now... being home will be nice. Quickie must be lonely... ( home is a nice place... not the home she longed for, but a home all the same -- somewhere to feel warm and calm, and with trusted friends. )

But until that happens, you must take it easy, okay Ven? ( raising back up to her feet, she donned her best serious look again, trying to emulate the way farah might talk to the boys. pointing a finger down at him, her other hand found her hip. ) Meredy does not want to see you get hurt any more, so no matter what happens... Meredy will come and protect you, Ven does not always have to be the one to fight, so you must remember that!

[makingfriends]

[He can't help breaking into a slight grin when that Serious Look comes back, but he does his best to stifle it, lips pressed together as he nods.]

Yes, ma'am. You got it.

[But then the humor does taper off for real, and it's a gentler smile this time.]

...And -- thanks, Meredy. I'll make sure to protect you, too, when you need it.

[And not just because it's his duty, either. Not as a Keyblade wielder, not even as a good person -- but as a friend.]

...But we can relax for now, don't you think?

[melnics]

( at his words, she softened completely again, her eyes bright with happiness. her hands clasped near her chest as she smiled, closing her eyes for a moment, and repeating much more softly -- ) You bet.

( friends! they really were friends, weren't they? aside from galenos and quickie, meredy was pretty lacking in the friend department. the four inferians she'd met in her had been the few she could count amongst those numbers, and now to think, she was friends with someone from an entirely new world!

she was alive with warmth, letting it radiate inside -- until a loud, gurgling sound sounded from her stomach. ) Urk--! ( after all that she'd forgotten to get something for herself!

embarrassed, one of her hands rubbed at her head and the other covered her stomach while she laughed. ) Ahahaha... I am sorry!

[makingfriends]

[Ven blinks at that interruption, but quickly breaks into a grin and a laugh, as well.]

Heh, don't worry about it. But why don't we go ahead and eat together? If you're not too busy.
