[ The video clicks on to... a mass of brown feathers, a beak, and a giant Pidgey eye. The pokémon shifts, digging around in Talim's pack for a snack, rattling the 'Gear around further. This continues for a bit before Alun is unceremoniously hauled away. Talim holds him up, turning him to face her. ]

Alun, I told you to stay out of my bag. [ the Pidgey ruffles his feathers, giving a half-hearted cry of annoyance. ] Now, now. Don't give me that. It's your job to watch the egg, remember? I'm trusting you with this, so I expect you to be vigilant.

[ Talim sets him down somewhere off screen, and goes back to where her Scyther is waiting. She pulls a pair of handmade wooden tonfa out of a loop on her belt, and looks up at her pokémon. The Scyther nods, and falls into the same stance as Talim.

And then the two start dancing.

Talim steps and twirls, striking out with her tonfa with the ease of long years of practice. Her Scyther is a little awkward to start, but he finds his rhythm quickly, striking and slashing with his blades. It's a simple dance, and one Talim knows well- an offering to the Wind Deity, even if she can't speak to the wind here like she can at home.

When they finish, Talim takes a moment to catch her breath, before getting up on her tiptoes and hugging her Scyther around the neck. She then makes her way back towards her pack to rummage around for some water. ]

They, or weapons like them, are mostly used for ceremonial purposes by my people, but they can be used for fighting.

So you use them in hand to hand combat [An event that Anew never got the chance to see in her world, since machinery seemed to be necessary in every single conflict]

I rarely see weapons like those in my world, only fire-weapons. Where are you come from?

That's right.

I'm from a place called the Village of the Wind Deity. It's in Asia, if you have such a thing where you're from.

Sure, I know about asia, but I never had the opportunity to visit it.

Maybe you're from another period in history, since I have never heard of such place. I...lived [And also died] in 2312.

I would definitely say I am. I was born in the spring of 1576.

[This place never ceased to surprise Anew. So far she has known a girl who could use magic in her world to a person with cat ears, and now she was talking with a woman who was born over 750 years before her] Oh my. I seems that this world has no limits when it comes to picking up people.
