[This is a very shy voice you're getting.]

Um, hello? Ah, um, pardon my interloping in your thoughts here but, ummm... I believe we've found the source of that frightful cloudburst we've been having. It appears those ornery blue fiends are causing quite the brouhaha from their literal cooler. They seem a mite bit peeved.

[A beat.]

I, um— I don't have any suggestions, I just— I thought everyone should know.

[Another pause.]

Sooo... that's all.

I can fly, so I don't mind making the trips. It's the least I can do.

[needmetoo]

Oh!

[That's... a bit of a relief.]

Thank you! And um... if you need any help. I can't really swim but I can control water, so I can come too.

[potentite]

Well isn't that handy! I'm sure your magic will save us in a pinch. I mean, the whole problem sort of revolves around water, so it's bound to be the solution somehow, too.

[He has a lot of confidence on someone he's just met... or at least well, someone he's seen around for the past month and a half or so, but still doesn't know well or anything.]

I'm still learning, but I'll do my best.

[potentite]

That's all anyone can ask, I think? Um, just... as long as you're trying, I think that's what matters. And, well, we'll all be trying, too.

[Xion nods, forgetting he can't see it.]

Yeah...

[She can do that... they all can do that, she thinks.]

I'm Xion. It's nice to... meet you?

[THey've kind of been part of the same group for a while but.... never formally introduced.]

[potentite]

Oh, forgive my boorish behaviour. Never introduced myself, um— I'm Jake. It's nice to, um, well, formally meet! Sorry... I know I should, um... put myself out there a bit more, what with being a team now and all, I just... am a bit shy.

[needmetoo]

It's okay. I mean... I haven't really talked a lot on here either.

[Shy, was that the word for it?]

You're telling us this now when it's important, right?
