To: all Heroes of light

[thegreatninja]

Hello,

I only read some over Yuffie's shoulder but the moment she received Cid's letter she bolted off. I don't know towards where but if you have any idea please let me know...

Or stop her.

Thank you,

-Mooshoo

[OOC: Yuffie's going to try and read all your stuff. If you don't want her too she won't get there in time but if you want to catch her feel free to respond and let me know how much she can read, be it the first sentence or the whole thing.]

[She’s trying really hard to keep smiling. He’s sorta intimidating when he’s this intense.]

Maybe a little bit. Something about blades in funny shapes.

[Yuffie doesn’t want to say the ‘X’ blade because that might lead to awkwardness.]

[makingfriends]

['Funny shapes...'

Well. That does suggest a certain degree of ignorance, and Ven's trusting enough that he doesn't suspect that she would play that dumb to look innocent. That may be his downfall, one day.

Still, to be sure--]

That's all? That's really all you saw?

[thegreatninja]

Ah.. yeah.. sure.

[Her smile widens slightly, thinking that she’s gotten away with keeping what she read a secret. It isn’t anything she wants to repeat out loud anyway.]

You need to calm down.

[Only then does he realize how worked up he is -- even though his voice has stayed level, there's visible tension in his shoulders and he's pretty sure his expression isn't the friendliest it could be.

So Ven backs off a step, gathering his thoughts and exhaling heavily. Even if she did read something forbidden, it's not as though he can really do anything about it now.]

Right. Sorry. I'm not -- mad or anything. There's just...

[Forget it, he's probably made it pretty obvious that his file's not recommended for public viewing.]

Could you just -- not tell anyone what you saw, please? Whatever it was.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie exhales as Ven back away. A hand moves over her heart to steady the frantic flutter that he caused. She hasn't been that freaked out in a while but reading his file before hand spooked her.]

I won't.

[She answers a little too quickly.]

I mean, I won't. Don't worry Ven. You are a cool dude... when you aren't being all scary.

[makingfriends]

Scary? [Ven blinks -- she might as well have just called him a girl.

Did he really come off that way...?]

Oh. Well -- thanks.

[He looks at the computer again. He's definitely curious about what all's in his file, but for now... best to get it locked and get rid of let Yuffie move on first. Once he's alone, he'll look back at it.]

So -- you said to just push this, right?

[thegreatninja]

Yup!

[Yuffie is waiting for a good moment to dash from the room. Once Ven closes his file she lets out a slow breath of relief.]

Well, I'll be off then...

[There is no reason for her to stick around.]

[makingfriends]

[Ven nods lightly, still looking at the screen because his curiosity's really getting the better of him.]

Right. Thanks again -- for the help.

[Again, he's forgotten to ask for her name, but third time will hopefully be the charm?]
