[Her hair's still slightly damp when the feed comes on.]

For those I haven't met yet, my name is Aqua. I'm a Meister, but my partner was sent home recently. [She didn't stutter or hesitate, she had, after all, rehearsed these words in her mind before making this post.] If there are any Weapons who want to try with me, I'm looking for someone I can

Well, you're one of the more pleasant Meisters on this communicator. I was beginning to think arrogance was inherent in all of them.

[He's kidding- mostly- but he isn't insincere] I am sorry for your loss.

Most of the ones I've met were all right. Maybe you're just unlucky? [She's just teasing, really.]

done!

[blue_wayfinder]

[But her smile is less bright in the next instance.] Thank you.

[bymypower]

Perhaps.

And of course. I wish you the greatest fortune in your search.

I'm sorry, I'm a Meister as well so I can't be of much help. It must be barking tough though. To go through this.

...it's fine. He's safer back home than he ever could be here.

I'm almost relieved, really. [It was also a little lonely, but no one needed to know that.]

[bellcaptain]

Aye, I know the feeling. I guess there's no point to brood, either, hm?

[blue_wayfinder]

No. Brooding never solved anything, after all.

Still, thank you for your concern.

[Locked, because Azusa would never let him hear the end of it.]

[bass_instincts]

[He's smoking a cigarette trying to look looking as cool as a rock-star usually does.] Have you ever played an instrument?

[Locked, because...well, she doesn't know why but she will respect his desire for privacy.]

[blue_wayfinder]

No.

...why?

[Locked still. Also video because I always forget to mention video.]

[bass_instincts]

My weapon form is a bass guitar. I thought it would be interesting to try resonating.

[Locked still. I didn't even notice...]

[blue_wayfinder]

A bass guitar? [Aqua, you fight with a giant key. You have no right to be so surprised.]

How would that work as a Weapon? [Though it's obvious that she's at least intrigued.]

*Oh dear ... so she as well? Well, she stayed by her side when she lost her friend, it's Tsuruhime's turn now.*

I hope you're doing well Aqua-san.

I'm fine. I know he's safer back home, that's what really matters, right? [But the smile she gives is half-hearted at best. She';s relieved, but another, more selfish part of her still felt lonely.]

[purewhite_crane]

Right. But you know ... You're not alone here. I'm your friend too!

*Because last time, it made her really happy when people told her she wasn't alone.*

video this is so hideously late. /)__(\

[blue_wayfinder]

...thank you.

[That does make her feel better.]

How have you been?

[spandexisyouth]

I am sorry to hear of your loss, Aqua.

[blue_wayfinder]

...thank you.

[spandexisyouth]

I know it is not likely, but if there is anything I can do...

[blue_wayfinder]

Thank you for the offer, but...I'll be all right. He's safer back home, that's all I could have ever asked for.
