Hey, I understand. I would like to hear about your friends too, but only when you want to, so no pressure.

[ The brunet's smiling a little at that, despite the grim nature of their conversation, maybe trying to be a little reassuring but also just generally being himself. He honestly means it, after all.

He can be kind of awkward sometimes, but pushing people is not his thing unless it's life or death. Which it isn't here. ]

Well, Aqua and I've been friends since we were children, but Ven's the one who came along about...four or five years ago, I believe. Master Xehanort, a good friend of my Master, had brought him in to be taken under my Master's wing. I'm kind of glad that he did since it brought all three of us together, and made things more lively.

Ven's also the youngest out of all of us--he was about eleven when he came to see us. He kind of had a lot of catching up to do. I even let him use my old Wooden Keyblade when he started getting more up to speed.

I think I already told you everything about Aqua. She's talented, skilled, kind, amazing...[ He trails off before he coughs awkwardly. ] and you know the rest. I probably already told you this, but she also loves reading books. [ Or he might not have, it's fine. ] Kind of the complete opposite of me and Ven on that one.

[ Ventus would fall asleep reading a novel, and Terra's mind would wonder most of the time. But he did try his best... ]
