[Earlier, you might have seen a boy bolting through the court yard, looking like the hounds of hell were on his tail. To him, they might have well been -- maybe they still are, for all his luck. He had spent some time trying to find the place, too. Hopefully, he's safe here. He wouldn't have stopped for anyone, either. Not until he found a

Then he's asking for him and Aqua. Terra immediately dismisses the weapon, studying the picture carefully... and almost laughing at the sheer irony. How he had started his first feed right in front of that building, if his guess was correct.]
Ven...? [He's most certainly smiling; he'd been hoping, adding a little more power into that connection and leaning on it since he'd come to after the last Mist attack...
If the picture's a bit bumpy, that's because he's running; trying to get to the library he's hoping his hunch is correct; hush, you.]
Yes. Much safer than out there, anyway.

That's good to know. It won't get here, right? [He'll be waiting, actually sitting down. He's tired, no matter the happy gleeful face he puts on.]

But that question... He falters in speech for a moment, though it's hidden by the fact he really is running to the library, but he does slow down eventually--]
I hope it won't. It certainly wasn't a pleasant experience being caught in it.
[Was he hinting at a previous mist excursion? Probably. But right now? Have a hair ruffle!]

That soon falters as he nods. The Mist...] yea... It's not. But we're ok now, huh? You and me and I heard Aqua's here, too.

And he still smiles, just a tad. ...Where were you, little bro? ; ;] Yes. She's here, somewhere. [And now his smile falters a bit. Ogawd, that can of worms. Or three. Well, might as well bring one of them up.]
And so's my twin brother.

[Wait. Come again?] ... Twin? T-Terra... What?

Ah. I never told you, did I. [He smiles a bit, pulling out a photo of him and Xehanort from his pocket, offering it to Ven.] Master sent him to Radiant Garden for study and his health before he took you and Aqua in.

Radiant Garden....? [Somewhere in his hazy memories, he knows that place. Wasn't that where he was from, originally? He can't remember, and it's not like it matters.[ Oh. Then I can understand that. You look almost the same. What's his name? [Terra, you have a derpy face in that photo. It's so weird!]

Right. [Possibly. And hey, don't worry about it too much.] Xehanort. But... I think he still goes by 'Ansem' sometimes. [Well, he wasn't always so srs face.]

-- Master Xehanort's your grandfather? [You're related to the creepy old man who was a guest at the mastery exam? :(] but he was at the Exam back home... And. Huh.

Yes. [Sadly; see why we don't like him?] That was the first time I'd seen him in years.
[Here; have a hair ruffle again, because he doesn't want to dwell on that part of his past. And judging by what he heard... Ven didn't remember ever being here. What happened?] Now... Is there anything you'd like to know about this place?

How safe? H -- The Mist can't come here, right?

[And... he frowns at that. He doesn't want to crush Ven's hope, but-- He can't ignore what happened, either. But.. what was Ven about to say?]
No. The fence keeps it out for the most part. [A faint pause.] Though, there's been one occurrence while I was here that the fence was overwhelmed and we lost power.
[And just recently with the kidnappings-- Don't think he didn't notice something.] Ven... What happened out there?

I seee... [And he's looking down, a guilty - very guilty look on his face for just a second before it's masked. He's not good at hiding things, but he's going to try.]
..I got caught in it.
