[It's been a...strange few weeks. Even with being used to other worlds by the time of his arrival, he's never stayed for this long. By now, Terra has a fair idea of how things work around here, and if not an idea, then he can guess at least. Or at least he thinks he's got this. In front of him, there's a chess set, set up in a rather peculiar way compared to most. For instance, there are a few raised platforms, and the pieces, while obviously still intended for their original uses, look different.

A little faerie chirps on the other side of the chess board, trying to lift one of the pieces near her and obviously failing if the way her body gets pulled down with the piece is any indication.]

Hey, hey. Careful or you'll hurt yourself.

[He reaches to help her and the faerie puffs her cheeks and pouts at him, wings beating as fast as a hummingbird's as she lowers the piece and crosses her arms, making him chuckle and shake his head before returning his attention to the network.]

I didn't think they were actually able to do it. Bring us things from home I mean.

[Terra holds a piece up, then places it down.]

I'm set up in the library if anyone is up for a game. Strong minds are equally as important as strong bodies.

[He then inclines his head.]

Unless you're looking for getting your butt kicked in the more physical sense, I'll be down in the training grounds later.

[And the feed ends.]

Uh...thanks?

[Can chess sets be pretty? Terra remembers being younger and wanting to know how to play with the shiny pieces, so he guesses. And he's seen that look before one too many times on Ven's face for different things, the meteor shower being the most recent memory, though it makes his lips quirk.]

I take it you know how to play?

[depicted]

I played a bit. When I was younger. Not so often as late.

[Hedonism is very distracting, okay. But he does love chess. Beautiful, beautiful chess . . .

Someone help this stupid child.]

[undeterrable]

Same goes for me.

[Keyblade practice and training for his Mark of Mastery exam had taken precedence over chess in the last few years, as well as keeping Ven out of trouble. There had been a lot on his mind as such. Terra shrugs a little though.]

I get the feeling I'll be traveling a bit between here and Leathann, though, so I'll be taking it with me. Should we cross paths, perhaps I could interest you in a game?

[depicted]

Oh, will you be in Leathann? [Watch him brighten up.] I have a residence there. It would be simple enough to meet for a game.

[undeterrable]

Yes. The Void's a...concern of mine. [Not mentioning he'd already seen it, but he perks up a bit.] That would make it easier. I could bring it over if you'd like.

[depicted]

[Well. It definitely is a concern Dorian can respect. He mentally notes Terra as potentially worth working with in the future. Always good to spot the discontent and the agreeable from within the new batch.]

I'd be delighted. Do you know the [MADE UP STREET NAME he lives beside Flora]? You're welcome by there.

[undeterrable]

[He does recognise the name of the street, surprisingly enough.]

Sure, I've been there before. Is it next to that...Fabalon place?

[IT'S A WEIRD NAME OK?]

[depicted]

To the left, in fact. I'm not always there, but you're welcome to stop by regardless.

[undeterrable]

I'll come by and check it out when I'm down there then.
