[Most of the time, Tear's been keeping to the more populated sections of the City - getting a feel for the people, their habits, what to expect. So when the feed shows the image of a warm and welcoming Xanadu, it's a change of pace for all involved

[Estelle is actually not surprised by this. Tear may have been terse in her introduction, but she could tell that there is more to her than that. Instead, she starts her feed by starting this conversation very normally in response to her words.]

They have a lot of beautiful flowers in the City. [A bit of a pause.] Is a silennia a type of flower from your world?

[By the sudden jolt of the video, Tear's jumped in surprise. Her face is pink when it appears on camera.]

I didn't realize this was on...

Yes, they are. ..there don't seem to be any here, but I'm not surprised. The flowers are nice though.

I imagine they must be native to your world. What are they like?

[Well, if she can't see them here in the City, she may as well get a description from Tear since it seems she was looking for them.]

They are..[A pause.]..very white. Like snow. They look similar to lilies, but not quite. [This is much harder to do than she expected. A sigh.]

But they can grow in very harsh places. Even when there's no sunlight, they can bloom.

[He's been training by himself in Xanadu as usual, and he turns quickly on his heel when he hears someone approaching- only to laugh and lower his sword when he sees her.]

I've gotta pick a different spot to train.

[Somewhere where nobody can walk around leisurely.]

[She'd heard him from a distance, but recognized the voice. Tear stands with her hands clasped behind her back.]

You don't need to stop - I'm just passing.

You're good with that blade.

[notflynn]

Thanks- I try.

[He lets his sword fall to his side, makes his way toward her.]

But you're not here to compliment how I handle a sword, are you?

[Action]

[fortunes_arc]

Not exactly. I've yet to explore this particular part of the City, and have heard that there are some interesting sights in Xanadu.

[It's...not entirely untrue.]

Do you train here often?
