.11 - audio;
I understand the basic premise behind... Valentine's Day.
[Hubert sounds a little awkward, uncertain and even a little nervous as he speaks.]
But I wasn't here last year, and we don't have a holiday like this in Strahta. Would anyone be willing to give me a little more information behind it? What's common for ah... not... "couples" but perhaps two close friends... ?
[Short, sweet and... mostly to the point. Mostly.]

[He'll be gathering up the stuff he got earlier so that they can do some training stuff.]
audio
Excellent. I'll meet you in the plaza.

action
Mr. Fujimoto, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person.
action
Aah, we did only ever talk over those starfish, didn't we?
[This thought is kind of funny to him, because he's used to talking to people in person rather than over phones or communicators.]
action
Yes, but even here that doesn't last long. It's not a large city - people meet face to face eventually.
action
[He's still not sure where everything is in this city.]

action
It takes a few minutes to get up there.
action
Well, if we're coming up from the bottom of the ocean, that makes sense. The ocean is deep.
action
Yes, of course. It's a nice view, once we get past the bubble.
action
[And yay, sunlight! It's cold, but Shiro doesn't care, he'll just go ahead and step out and look around. As cold as it is, he is still grinning from ear to ear.]
action
[But the island is a nice change of pace, even cold, and Hubert steps out after Shiro with a faintly content sigh.]
action
[Sunlight represents freedom to him. He'll never not love being outside on sunny days.]
Let's look for an open space, with plenty of room to run around in.
action
[The question does get him curious, though.]
Do you not like being here? You have family.
action
[Whatever light does get down there is refracted by the water and looks weird.
Shiro starts heading east, looking for the open area Hubert is talking about.]
action
You think I would be more affected by it, having lived most of my life in a desert.
action
[Wow, Hubert must have had to go through a much rougher adjustment period, then.]
That must've been rough.
action
Naturally outside the city is hot and dry, but I got used to it.
action
[While he does like being outside, he likes it when the temperature is moderate and there is a cool breeze.]
But I guess everyone's preferences are different.
action
Frankly, though, I prefer it to Fendel. It's bitterly cold almost year round.
[Hubert points up at an area they're nearing.]
It's up there.
action
[Also the cold makes his old bones ache.
Once they're in the open area, Shiro goes ahead and sets down the steel sword by an uprooted tree. He also goes ahead and takes off his cassock and priestly accessories, leaving black pants and a white button-up shirt on. If they're going to be sparring, his usual getup will just be cumbersome.]
action
I'm still not entirely sure how we should go about this. I'm used to being able to switch styles mid-fight but I'm concerned that will wind up getting you injured.
Of course I do have healing artes...
action
Just don't try to stab me in the face, and it'll be alright.
[Anything else can be dealt with. Shiro happens to be, among other things, a doctor-class exorcist, so he can treat minor wounds. As long as it doesn't require anything more than stitches and a band-aid, he's fine.
Plus there's the fact that he trusts his fighting skills enough to at least dodge or block any really dangerous blows.]
