He grasped her hand firmly and used it to lift himself up. Dimitri dusted his legs off, unsure how much foliage got relocated onto his uniform.
“Keyblade…? I’m not familiar with such a weapon, actually. The mages I know usually use tomes or Levin Swords….,” Finally pleased with his inspection he straightened up. Hm, she was around the age of a normal academy student, but like many others here, not dressed for such a position. He got a look at the blade in her free hand–it definitely didn’t seem like much in terms of a blade, with its zigzagging edge.
It only vaguely looked like a key, too. He likely wouldn’t have made the connection unless she told him. He scratched his chin. “The shape seems similar enough, though! I know there’s a lot of arcane crystals used in the construction of Levin Swords, but the shape seems to be conductive to magic…could you tell me more?”
He cleared his throat, realizing he had forgotten something. “Pardon my manners, I am Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd from ….well, Faerghus.” He gave a quick waist bow. “You need not answer my queries unless you want.”
[ ♒︎ ] – Noticing the attention he was giving her blade, Aqua held it up a bit more clearly until he was satisfied. She didn’t blame him for the curiosity, given the relative rarity of such a weapon, and she herself was unfamiliar with the use of tomes or... Levin Swords.
❝Well, they’re not very common anymore... Or at least, that’s what my Master told me. They tend to choose their wielders and are a bit... Picky.❞
Warmly the girl smiled at the other boy-- Dimitri, he said his name was. He certainly seemed eager to help despite not knowing much about her weapon or magic at all, something which Aqua was grateful for. It was nice to meet a friendly face after such a long period of uncertainty. But his mention of Faerghus caused questions of her own to stir. From what she had gathered, this world was named Spirale, not Faerghus. So he wasn’t from this world, either. Just how many other people and worlds were affected? And was this not really a test from her Master after all?
Those questions could wait. Though a bit awkwardly, she mimicked his bow in return-- Was that customary here?
❝Nice to meet you, Dimitri. I’m Aqua, from the Land of Departure. And don’t worry-- I don’t mind answering your questions.❞ A pause, before she continued. ❝I might ask you some, too, though. Like... What exactly is a Levin Sword? Is that a kind of weapon from your World-- Um, Faerghus?❞
