First Dance [ video ]

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ When this video feed turns on, you can see a pretty lady with long, white hard standing with a small smile around the city. It's clearly a new face since it's the first time she does something like this, so she looks quite excited that this is recording. ]

Ah, it looks like it's on! Many things have happened here, and many memories seems to be lost, but I'm sure I'll remember them soon.

I'm Irisviel, and I'm really happy to meet you all. Even if I don't remember too much from my own past, I hope we can help each other here.

[ There's a small pause. ]

And I think I'm lost. This city is so big...!

[ The Irisviel you tried to contact seems to be lost in the city. Help her before she gets a car. ]

Is this your first time seeing the ocean?

[Only after he asks the question does Shirou realize how stupid a question it is. She couldn't tell him, because she couldn't remember.]

Sorry. Forget I asked.

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ She chuckles lightly. ]

It's alright, maybe it is or maybe it is not. I can say for sure that it's the first time I watch it with you.

[wontdieifkilled]

Yeah, that's true. You should make some time to check out the shops here, too. There's a lot of great places to look around or eat here.

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ She's like a little child observing the world for the first time. ]

That would be so wonderful! I just hope I won't get lost again!

[wontdieifkilled]

It's pretty easy along the waterfront. Just remember that the ocean is to the east, so if it's on your right, you're walking north, and if it's on your left, you're walking south.

[thevesselofhiswish]

Alright! I can remember that. I'll make sure to write it when we reach the Suites.

[wontdieifkilled]

So, while we're here, is there anything specific you want to see?

[thevesselofhiswish]

Do you think there are any kind of animals around here that we can see?

[wontdieifkilled]

You...you mean like a zoo? I don't know of any zoos around. Maybe we might find some in the park.

[thevesselofhiswish]

Yes, the park sounds like a wonderful idea. I think I saw one while we were walking to here!

[wontdieifkilled]

It's the same one that's across the street from the Ermis Suites.

[He almost adds "It's like killing two birds with one stone," but given the reason why they're going there, he deems it inappropriate.]

So it makes things simpler. It shouldn't take long to get to from here.

[thevesselofhiswish]

That's good to know! Now I can spend some time in that park knowing it's closer to the Suites!

[ She smiles warmly at him. ]

You're really nice, Shirou. Thank you.

[wontdieifkilled]

[The combination of the compliment and the smile makes Shirou blush a little bit.]

Aha...thanks. I mean, you're welcome. I mean...

[Okay, he's getting himself tangled in knots here.]

I'm just glad I could help.

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ Okay, she's chuckling a bit for that! ]

You like helping people, right? That's very noble of you.

[wontdieifkilled]

Noble? I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, I do like helping people.

[thevesselofhiswish]

I hope I didn't bother you with my silly request.

[wontdieifkilled]

Not at all. I think it did me some good to get out and help someone.

[thevesselofhiswish]

[ She blinks a bit for that. ]

Were you feeling bad?

[wontdieifkilled]

...Kind of. I remembered a bad memory. But a friend helped me out, and then I met you. I got to take my mind off it, and I feel better now.

[thevesselofhiswish]

I'm truly sorry to hear that, but I'm sure that you will remember happier ones that will bring you happiness, Shirou.

[wontdieifkilled]

I think I will, too. That memory happened five years ago; I'm sure things got better.

[thevesselofhiswish]

Of course! You need to believe in that. I'm sure that everything turned out to be better!
