Ven tilted his head in curiosity as Naminé was silent, holding her hand over her chest as if...she was in pain or something? Maybe she was scared or something. He vaguely recalled feeling the same compulsions when he was telling Aqua and Terra about the X-blade. Augh yeah, that's what he needed to be thinking about right now. "Is he uh...not a friend or something?" That scientist guy he had seen with Ienzo was pretty weird, but the kid didn't seem that bad.

"Huh? Why not?" Complicated? Had something happened between them? "Oh, uh, no problem!" And he tried to muster the smile back in spite of his confusion.
