He grasped her hand firmly and used it to lift himself up. Dimitri dusted his legs off, unsure how much foliage got relocated onto his uniform.Â
âKeybladeâŚ? Iâm not familiar with such a weapon, actually. The mages I know usually use tomes or Levin SwordsâŚ.,â Finally pleased with his inspection he straightened up. Hm, she was around the age of a normal academy student, but like many others here, not dressed for such a position. He got a look at the blade in her free handâit definitely didnât seem like much in terms of a blade, with its zigzagging edge.
It only vaguely looked like a key, too. He likely wouldnât have made the connection unless she told him. He scratched his chin. âThe shape seems similar enough, though! I know thereâs a lot of arcane crystals used in the construction of Levin Swords, but the shape seems to be conductive to magicâŚcould you tell me more?â
He cleared his throat, realizing he had forgotten something. âPardon my manners, I am Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd from âŚ.well, Faerghus.â He gave a quick waist bow. âYou need not answer my queries unless you want.â
[ âď¸ ] â Noticing the attention he was giving her blade, Aqua held it up a bit more clearly until he was satisfied. She didnât blame him for the curiosity, given the relative rarity of such a weapon, and she herself was unfamiliar with the use of tomes or... Levin Swords.Â
âWell, theyâre not very common anymore... Or at least, thatâs what my Master told me. They tend to choose their wielders and are a bit... Picky.â Â
Warmly the girl smiled at the other boy-- Dimitri, he said his name was. He certainly seemed eager to help despite not knowing much about her weapon or magic at all, something which Aqua was grateful for. It was nice to meet a friendly face after such a long period of uncertainty. But his mention of Faerghus caused questions of her own to stir. From what she had gathered, this world was named Spirale, not Faerghus. So he wasnât from this world, either. Just how many other people and worlds were affected? And was this not really a test from her Master after all?
Those questions could wait. Though a bit awkwardly, she mimicked his bow in return-- Was that customary here?Â
âNice to meet you, Dimitri. Iâm Aqua, from the Land of Departure. And donât worry-- I donât mind answering your questions.â A pause, before she continued. âI might ask you some, too, though. Like... What exactly is a Levin Sword? Is that a kind of weapon from your World-- Um, Faerghus?â
