[ Godric's face appears on the screen and, for a moment, he looks a little confused. Then he sets it down, peering at the camera with slight nerves. He wasn't used to the technology of the future - give him swords and magic over these things any day. Still, he has things he needs to talk about, so he would have to learn to adapt. ]

... Magic is the elemental expression of a person's strength of heart.

[The message itself is unbelievably cheesy, but look at her face -- she's dead serious.]

... That is a very eloquent summarisation of magic. Thank you for sharing.

I hope you don't mind me asking.

... Is there magic in your world?

[lionshollow]

I do not mind your question. Where I come from magic is elusive, but I aided in the foundation of a school of magic. It was one of the first - and it helped bring magical families together somewhat.

[On the other side of the SFC, she... blinks pensively, shifting.]

Then you must be very gifted yourself!

[ He smiles, but shakes his head. A modest man! ]

I do what I can, but my friends have talent far greater than I can ever claim to possess.

[All the more reason for Aqua to be impressed.]

I'd love to meet all of you some day.

If they were here I am sure they would wish to meet you as well.

[ ... Except maybe Salazar. ]

Maybe the two of us can still arrange a meeting, if you'd like.
I could try and teach you a little bit of magic from my world.

[And maybe he can show her some of his? She's too shy to ask.]

I would like that. I am trying to learn all I can - one of my friends is most interested in the research of magic... I am sure she would be upset if I was remiss in learning in her stead.

[ He smiles softly. ]

I would teach you what I can of my own magic, if you would accept that in return.

[She tries -- really, really, really tries to hide how excited that makes her.]

That would be wonderful!

[ He laughs, shaking his head with a smile. ]

I am a teacher. It would bring me great joy to be able to pass on my art.

[Teacher translates roughly into Master in Aqua's mind. Congratulations.]

Oh. Forgive me -- I didn't know.

video; i saw nothing!!

[ He shakes his head, holding up a hand. ]

I never said. Please, it is not such a grand position, certainly not requiring apology.

I do hope you don't mind me saying so...
It is the grandest of all positions where I'm from.

[Looking down slightly.]

But... ah. I digress. My name is Aqua.

[lionshollow]

I do not mind. It is not so grand where I am from, but it still affords a little respect.

[ He smiles reassuringly. ]

I am Godric Gryffindor. It is an honour, Lady Aqua.
