Who: Sora
Broadcast: Open
Action: Blameless
When: After he wakes up.

[Sora has been asleep for the last few weeks and while others might be worried or upset at missing time, he appears on the broadcast and just seems kind of tired. He yawns and scratches his head.]

So... I guess I've been pretty out of it lately, huh? What'd I miss?

Oh... yeah.

[He is a bit more somber for a moment, but then he gets determined again.]

Still, if they are hurting people they have to be stopped.

[Lucina doesn't want to make him feel bad, but she's definitely a realist and she wants him to take into account what they are facing.]

I agree that we should stop them from hurting innocent people. We have the ability to do so and the people of this system need our assistance. However, going into it rashly is asking to be hurt ourselves. I would like to avoid that where possible.

It's good that someone around here likes to plan, then.

Oh, I'm not the planner. That's someone else's job, but I also know how to make sure to do enough in a fight to disable and incapacitate instead of killing.

Do you think you could teach me some of that? Most of the things I fought back home were these monsters who came from the darkness called the Heartless, or Nobodies, so... Well, you don't worry so much about that with them.

If I'm going to fight real people though...

[That really is something he should learn.]

Of course I can.

Back on my world, I fight both the undead and regular pirates and bandits. The undead we kill, the bandits we arrest.

Any time that you're up to some instruction, I live on the Heron and I'm sure that I can enlist my brother in some assistance. But before I do that, a name might be helpful.

I'm Sora.

Thank you for being willing to teach me.

Well, Sora, I'm Lucina.

And feel free to come to the Heron whenever you want. Or we can meet in the dojo on the Iskaulit.

What's a... do-jo?

A facility that is specifically set aside for the purpose of teaching fighting in all of its forms. It will probably be better suited for what we want to do, without risking being in anyone's way.

Oh! Yeah! That's exactly what we would need! I'd like to visit there sometime soon. No telling when those pirates might be an issue.

Let me know when you're available. I doubt that it will be just a day's worth of training, so the sooner we start, the better.

What about tomorrow?

That can be arranged. Is noon good for you? Or would you prefer something sooner?

Noon is great! Much better than early in the morning.

I have to remind myself that not everyone is able to function on around four hours of sleep a night and ready to practice fighting at the drop of a pegasus feather.

A pegasus feather? Have you met Pegasus?

[What a strange reaction....]

There are a lot of pegasi on my world. My last battle role allowed me to ride one into fights, but she didn't come with me when I was kidnapped, I suppose.

You had one? Really?

The only world I've been at that had them, there was only one. And he belonged to my friend, Hercules. The idea of a world with many of them is...

Wow that must be so awesome.

There were many animals attached to the army. Pegasi, wyvern, horses, griffons. And we could all share with one another, depending on what role was needed in battle.

[He can't see her, but she's smiling now.]

There's nothing quite like the feeling of the wind whipping through your hair as you swoop through battle on the back of a flying friend, pegasus or otherwise.

Pegasus sometimes would help me by letting me ride him during fights. It was always pretty cool, you know except for the giant monster trying to eat me part.

[Though, honestly, that part was pretty cool too.]

So you know the feeling of flying through the air in battle. I find it exhilarating.

Me too! The time that I did it, I was fighting this giant monster with a bunch of heads. It was called a Hydra, I think.

Well, then, that's good to know. Common ground will help us in our interactions. We can talk more about it in person. I find these devices to be a bit too cold to have an actual conversation over.

Yeah, I get that.

See you soon in training then!
