[Room 1-16]

Ven didn't have any qualms about lending his glider to Romeo; sure, it was convenient getting around the tower, but he had more physical training than most people, so it just a minor nuisance. What he didn't realize at the time was that it also left him without his weapon. granted, he hadn't really done much fighting since the phantoms showed up, but it was always important to be prepared, and it was hard to pull off a cure spell without the keyblade to focus his magic.

So his next idea was the broken training Keyblade he had gotten from Terra. Ven was kneeling in front of his trunk in his room, holding the two halves of the keyblade, one in each hand, looking at them with an uncharacteristic frown. He didn't even know how it had broken, because it was certainly in one piece when he had last seen it. Wonder what had happened....

[Floor Fifteen]

He couldn't spend forever moping around in his room though; there were people who were horribly disfigured and he had to do something to be on the way to helping! Ven had taken the two halves of the keyblade and ran off to the 15th floor. It was just a wooden dummy blade, but it was important to him! And since it was wooden, it couldn't be that hard to fix, right?

Of course Ven had about zero craftmanship skills, so even though he was set up with both halves on a work table, he had no real idea what he was doing. So he was basically going to go about this via trial and error. Someone stop him?

Link moved farther into the new bedroom, his smile fading to a neutral look as he looked around the place. He was used to exploring without any hesitations, what some people might consider rude entering Link saw it as nothing more than normal. He was trying to save everyone, after all.

"I'm Link." He responded, finally eying that open chest and then the broken weapon in his hand. "This is your room?" You never knew, he couldn't be the only one who liked treasure chests.

"U-Uh...yeah..." Ven was getting a bit wary of this guy. The guy didn't seem too bad, but he had also just kind of...walked into his room. Was he looking for something? Had he done something wrong?

"Um...I'm Ventus." He hastily dropped the two halves of the keyblade into his trunk and stood up. "Did you need something?"

"I'm exploring."

Link didn't even hesitate to respond, blue eyes curiously following those halves. It looked liek a tool or perhaps a weapon. Had the boy broken it? Did he need it fixed? Did the boy need anything?

"Need help?" Because people always needed help, no matter where he was.

That...made, sense, he guessed. Maybe this guy was new around here? Still, just poking into other people's rooms was kind of weird, but then Ven was pretty sure he had done it before himself....

"Um... No, that's OK...!" He laughed awkwardly, waving one hand in front of him and using the other to rub the back of his neck. "I-I mean, I can figure it out by myself! I wouldn't want to interrupt whatever you're doing or anything.."

Link shrugged. Sure, the guy was looking for an exit but he had never exactly denied someone help that would put his main task on hold. There was always some sort of reward to these things anymore.

"It's fine. Need help?" Forgive the boy, he doesn't do much talking.

Ven hesitated for another minute, just looking at the guy warily, before gulping and standing up straighter, trying not to show that he was a bit freaked out. This guy was too suspicious, something had to be up. He had just waltzed into the room...was this guy with the Tower?

"What do you want? Normal people don't just come into people's rooms while they're in there and offer help." He reasoned.

"They don't?" Well, that was quite a surprise and it was very clear on his face. Sure, on his many adventure's through Hyrule there had been plenty of unsavory folk about, but they hadn't left too much of an impression. Everyone eventually got along. Except that doctor but he couldn't help that.

"I'm sorry." Because this clearly seemed like a place to apologize, right?

"...U-Uh.." OK now he's just completely confused. This guy must've been acting or something to try and hide the fact that he was up to something. Still, Ven felt...kind of bad, despite his rampant confusion.

"It's OK, I guess...?" He scratched his head, wondering if it was best to just cut and run now. Maybe customs were different wherever he came from? "Do people normally do that where you live?"

"No one has really complained about it. I come from a small town."

Now that he had to think about it, it was true. People who didn't want you going into their house locked it. Everyone else was always happy with some company. The only place he could think of that didn't really like being bothered. Especially the castle.

"I guess it's not nice after all..." Other worlder's were strange.

"No one's complained?" Man, Ven got yelled at all the time for poking in the Master's study when he wasn't supposed to. Not fair.

He was a bit less panicky, but he was definitely still suspicious and wary, looking ready to dash away through the door at a moment's notice. "I mean, I've looked into places too without asking anyone, but there wasn't usually anyone in there, or there wasn't a door...."
