[Tear is on break at the cafe. She's out back practicing strikes and blocks with a broom since the manager is making her leave her weapons at home these days (they scare off the costumers, he says). Some of her hair is falling out of her ponytail at this point, and she'll doubtless have to fix it before the manager allows her to go back to waiting tables.

Fighting air isn't quite the same as sparring with Legretta, but at least she can relearn the motions, and at least the movement interrupts her thinking about what Van might be doing back in her own world.]

(I wonder how I can get back. Are hunting down suspicious objects and being present when the island does something strange going to be enough?)

[Swing.]

(Van. What are you up to? Who else have you dragged into this?)

[Swing.]

(I don't understand. Is this "Score" really such a terrible thing? What is it exactly and why do you hate it so much?)

[Swing.]

(I'm so sure there are people around me suffering right now. Rena seemed sad... I need to do something.)

[Swings harder. The motions yanks at the muscles in her arms and forces her to stop.]

Your teacher was quite wise. ^___^

*steps back now, a thoughtful look on his face* Despite the fact that I spent time as a child, I do not fully remember my childhood. That is mostly why I cannot understand my actions. I only know that I could use magic because of my title and because I know my king taught me many things. I cannot remember the magic itself, or who my true parents were, or many other details that I probably should about my young life.

And … why I acted the way I did toward certain people. *frowns*

Perhaps she was.

.... [Tilts her head slightly to the side, contemplating.]

I don't think I've remembered everything there is to know about my childhood, but it's enough for me to understand who I am - not what I've done, necessarily, or what I am, but how I came to think and feel the way I do now.

I can understand my actions. It's complicated... there are so many emotions that can clash with one another. Caring about someone... being afraid of what that person might try to do and who that might hurt... trying to take the course of action that's right.

It might be the opposite for me. I can remember some of my artes, but not why I can use them. Even knowing I'm a seventh fonist, it doesn't explain much about the nature of the artes themselves or how singing the right melody can have an affect on other living things.

A person's values and emotions will often lead to action. If you can sort out your feelings now, or remember how you felt back then, it might give you some indication as to why you behaved the way you did.

((OOC: No, I can't imagine how someone like Tear who hides her feelings 80% of the time could say something like this. XD))
