[ The audio feed begins with the sound of a muted tapping. ]
Is this on?
[ He taps it again, and a young man with spiky, black hair appears. He's peering...much too closely at his locket, but eventually he leans back, the scar on his left cheek becoming visible. For those familiar with the area, the training grounds in Caer Glaem are behind him.
Satisfied that it's on, he smiles a bit. ]
Hi. [ Awkwardly, he scratches the back of his head. ] I'm sure it's pretty obvious to those of you who've been here a while that I'm new.
I've already gotten a few different versions of what's going on here so I think I should be good in that respect.
[ Oh Zack, you sweet summer child. Moving right alone, though, he has other things to say. ]
Since it's a war we're here to fight, I'd like to know if there's anyone around who'd like to spar sometime - hand-to-hand or with weapons.
Also, if there are any places you'd recommend visiting, I'd like to know!
[ A large black head nudges him roughly, and after a soft "hey!" Zack turns briefly to pet his horse's face. A large sword becoming visible, hanging on his back before he looks back at the locket. He flashes a small, sheepish smile. ]
Any tips on riding horses would be good, too. Thanks.

[ HEY. Hermione peers in through her locket, a small smile on her face. ]
I might be able to help with riding, too, but - I'm not a professional.

Zack seems to be saying something to his horse, but stops when he's hailed on the locket. ]
Well, I like to, but I think it's practical too.
[ He smiles a bit. ]
Considering we don't really have horses where I'm from, you're probably professional compared to me.
[ Just sayin'. ]
I'm Zack.
video.
Settled on her sofa, Hermione nods her head. ]
I've been working up to sparring regularly, to make sure that I don't forget the things I've been taught. I wouldn't mind sparring, if you'd like to.
[ But he does have a point. ]
At least I can see these horses, which makes a change from some that I rode at home. It's nice to meet you, Zack - I'm Hermione.
video.
I think I could help you out with that.
[ He'll just have to watch his strength. That next comment makes him tilt his head a little, though. ]
It's nice to meet you too.
[ A beat, then- ]
Why couldn't you see them?

[ Is he still mad about that time when the death hounds attacked? Yeah, he's still mad. ]

[ Tell him about it, bro. ]

I have found them to be mercurial beasts, easily frightened and ill-suited to battle. On few occasions did I have the displeasure of riding one before I requested of the monarchs a more reliable mount in its stead.
text;
I'll admit, I wasn't really planning on riding any into battle.
[ He's used to fighting on foot. ]
I appreciate the warning.

[sup Zack it's your new bff. And he's just...going to eye the horse with a raised eyebrow.]
video;
I kinda had a lot on my mind.
[ Death, dying, a new world and a new war to fight....those kinds of things. ]
That depends on what kind of surprise you're talking about.
[ He's all right with those too. ]

[Like Terra himself. Thinking and getting a breather outside had helped to clear his head. He inclines his head.]
The magic kind. I need the practice.
[Because he sucks at magic.]
video;
He smiles. ]
I might be able to help you out a bit there.
What kind of magic do you have?

That'd be really helpful. I appreciate it.
[ Horses are so different from Chocobos, yeesh. ]
I'm Zack. You are?
Re: [video]
[Luckily, Mordred just happened to be familiar with both. But just how that came to pass was a story for another day.]
My name is Saber, I am a knight and the only heir to the throne of my father's kingdom.
[video]
[ An odd name, but he doesn't comment on it... And wow, more royalty! This is a novelty to him.
He looks at the other curiously. ]
Are knights pretty common where you're from?
[ Because he's heard stories, but that was a long time ago. ]

Don't fall off.
[This has been your daily kernel of wisdom with the King of Heroes. You're welcome.]

He's still not sure how he feels about Gilgamesh yet so he'll just... take this conversation as it comes. ]
Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[Yep. Off to a great start.]
I see you're familiarizing yourself with this realm already. That's for the best.

[ but that's no horse behind her, head rested on her shoulder; it's a bear-looking thing. ]

I'll give it a try, thanks.
[ And whoa, hello bear-looking thing!! He looks at it curiously. ]
Who's your friend?

This is Naga! She's a friend from home. [ beat ] She doesn't eat horses.

I figured it might be a good way to start.
[ Since, you know- war and all. ]
We used to play fighting games a lot in our spare time, where I'm from, so I guess you could say it's what I'm used to.
