[Ven was winded, bruised, and aching all over, but otherwise it was nothing he couldn't shake off with some effort. Saori's appearance surprised him, and there was a bitter blend of relief and concern. He was glad for a familiar face -- one that wasn't possessed -- but at the same time, he didn't want anyone else caught up in this.]

Thanks -- I'm okay. [Tiny bits of glass fell from his hair as he shook his head, gathering his bearings as he also looked across at Kairi -- the girl he knew and yet didn't. One of Sora's friends, he realized.] You -- you know her?

[As Saori drew her sword, Kairi held out her hand -- and for the second time tonight, Ven watched, stunned, as a flash of light indicated a summoning--]

Keyblade?

[Another wielder? Swallowing his shock -- partially -- Ven leapt through the cafe window to stand tensed on the sidewalk, his own Keyblade gripped tight.] Saori, be careful! She has her real powers -- the Keyblade's too strong for us like we are now!

[As quickly as he was talking, he barely got that out before a Blizzard spell was cast in their direction.]

Move!
