[Ven laughs again, but it's a completely happy sound this time as he leans back.]
Yeah! I've got a lot to tell you! I've been here a few months, actually -- and I kept hoping you'd show up, Aqua! I looked for you every time new Heroes showed up. [Some months held less hope than others, but he never gave up. He knew he would see her again someday -- her and Terra both.
And speaking of, that puts a damper on his enthusiasm. His arms fall away, as does his gaze.]
But... Terra's not here. I haven't seen him since the Graveyard.
[And judging by the fact that Ven doesn't ask her about him -- or look surprised that Terra's not with her -- he has a guess as to why that is. But that's a long story, probably better suited for after Aqua's a little more situated here; it's hard to tell it without giving Crystallis' context first, after all.]
