[At first, there is only audio...]

Hm... I think... like this and—

[The video feed turns on, revealing Aerith in all of her glory, wonderment gaze and more. She looks... bright. Cheery, all things considered.]

There we go!

[Lifting a hand, she wiggles her fingers in greeting.]

Hi there. My name is Aerith and I'd like some opinions onnnnn...

[She turns her camera to show off... her familiar, a Cerulean Drake.]

What I should name them. I'm still getting acquainted with things here, but this seems like a good place to start and a good way to get familiar with some of the other faces here.

I'm not very particular, but maybe something to do with the colour?

[She thumbs at her chin curiously as she looks over to it. No, she still doesn't have any ideas and up until now, she's just been calling it her 'friend.']

Believe me, I know all about pain making you strong.

[She squints at the screen.]

What kind of magic did you wind up with?

[inemeraldfaith]

Magic?

[Aerith thinks on that a moment. It's not very different from what she's accustomed to back in Midgar. Maybe lacking in the elemental spectrum considering the lack of materia, but...]

Healing. Support? Regeneration and other such things. It's not too different from what I had access to back home.

[cutesneeze]

[There's a quiet snort.]

Figures.

[A brief pause.]

Does it work like the magic you had in your world? Or does it just do something similar?

[inemeraldfaith]

['Figures.'

Aerith can't help wondering what she might mean by that.] Oh? [She asks, thoughtful and curious, before she tries to compare it to what she's been accustomed to in Midgar.]

Truthfully, I haven't really needed to use it, so I haven't practised it much since I arrived. I'm sure I'll get the opportunity to, though. Even if I don't, it wouldn't hurt to practise on absolutely nothing. I'm not expecting it to be too different from what I'm used to.

[cutesneeze]

You seem like the type.

[Which she knows full well is hardly an answer.

She really does deserve a riddle-prone familiar.]

Wouldn't it be better to make sure you get some practice in before you need it? Sooner or later, someone's going to get an arm torn off by a troll.

[inemeraldfaith]

[The 'type.'
Aerith laughs a little.] So there's a type.

[She does nod in agreement, however.] I agree with that, however... if I'm not injured then I can't tell if it's working. I'm not going to intentionally hurt myself just to test it out. I'm not going to intentionally hurt anyone else either. But the moment I see something I can use it on, I'll have a better idea of its potency. I know it's there. I know it exists. And I know that I can use it.
