[ The video turns on to Terra looking a little confused. He kind of sighs and rubs his neck, wanting to ask this because he thinks he may have just done something really stupid. ]

Could...someone tell me more about that Team Rocket? I know someone has mentioned them, but I'm not sure what any of them look like or anything.

[ Terra doesn't want to mention what happened, mostly because he's not sure if he did the right thing or not...]


Filtered to Ven and Riku

I think I gave something to someone I wasn't supposed to. They said they needed help...

They sound like terrible people. I will have to be more careful in the future to watch for them.

[A nod, then:] Something happened, didn't it? You wouldn't be asking otherwise.

[Terra whatchu do?]

[earthshattering]

[ Terra's got a bad habit of believing people a little too easily......]

I accidentally trusted them when I don't believe I should have. I gave them some things, but they were asking me about my pokemon, as well.

What kind of things?

[earthshattering]

Some money and supplies. [ cries Lightning, he needs an adult (even if he is one) ]

[She can't leave any of you alone for a minute, can she? Honestly...]

Tell me you at least got their name before you did that.

[earthshattering]

I didn't. Was I supposed to?

[ He's really bad about that too....]

[This close to facepalming, she pinches the bridge of her nose. It's like dealing with a small child.]

It would have helped, yeah. [sigh.] Can you describe them? We need to know who we're dealing with here.

[ What can he say, he needs an adult sometimes. ]

Well...they just seemed like normal people. Not dressed funny or anything.

[Only sometimes? Goodness...]

I meant what they looked like. Hair color, eye color, man or woman. People can change their clothes easily, you know.

[Does he know? Who knows how his world actually works.]

[ Only sometimes! Usually Aqua's around to keep him out of trouble...]

Woman, they had brown hair, but that's all I can remember. I apologize for not being much help.

[Except, when she's not, things tend to snowball downhill. Ain't life grand for Terra?]

It's fine. [sigh. not really fine but there's clearly nothing else they can do now. No use getting upset about it.] Ven and I should have warned you about them at some point, anyway.

[ Poor things just missing that part of the brain that uses common sense...and evil bad guy sensors. ]

Well some people warned me, but it wasn't entirely specific. I guess I didn't believe they could just be anyone.

[And sadly, both parts are needed in this world. He's gonna have one heck of a time.]

That's the thing with this place. Anyone can surprise you here, even if you're watching for it. Never underestimate anyone you meet here, or you may not get the chance to regret it.

I understand. Thank you, Lightning, I appreciate it.

[ Even from the tone of his voice, you can tell it's genuine. Terra's known that he's made some mistakes, but it's good to have understanding people around you ]
