"I'm Wakka, she's Lulu, and he's Kimahri."

"Theo," he responds. "Jeans are, uh– pants made of some sort of textile – denim, not that you have a word for that. The t-shirt is cotton. The wings, in case you didn't know–" he says, coming down to the ground and flexing them a bit – "They're real. Living."

"...living. So you're not an aeon. Or a fiend. Or an unsent."

Pause. "Before coming here, I had never heard of those things before, so no."

"And you said you can—change things? And you appear when circles are drawn on the floor? How does this work?"

Kimahri doesn't move but manages to make himself look more menacing.

"Kimahri, it's fine, Valefor's still here, and either she can take this guy or we really can't."

"I– uh, don't know how it works, it just does? You should be careful if you try it again because you might get someone who doesn't care much to be friendly?"

"...no I really shouldn't, there's very little I could accidentally summon that would be worse than the reason I summon things in the first place."

"Admittedly I don't know quite how bad all the things are – but like, that," he says, indicating the plant– "would be quite easy to do worse than if I were a Maker. Is probably easy even though I'm a Changer, but you'll forgive me if I haven't given much thought to that sort of thing."

"I'm not sure exactly what you can do, you haven't explained, but these are Sinspawn, which are generally stronger than regular fiends but also Sin always comes back for them so they need to be destroyed as soon as possible."

"Does he know about Sin?"

"I– am not sure I have ever seen any fiends before except for apparently that plant? And no, I don't think I know about Sin, and I was saying you should be careful while drawing circles, not that you should necessarily never do it again, and this all sounds like– I have no idea where I am."

"Are you from Zanarkand, too?"

"I have never heard of Zanarkand before, so I'm guessing no, and what do you mean 'too'?"

"Let's say you're not the first impossible person we've met."

"Hey!"

"You still haven't told us what you can do or what a Maker is or—how about we just share our life stories on our way to the temple—hey, if you can change things can you fix the damage to the area? That's a good way for you to show off to us."

"Yeah, um–" he looks around and starts reattaching broken things, since that's something he can do quite easily, and cleans up some ash. "I can't just 'restore' things, so if any of this was totally obliterated I'd need to know what to make it into–"

"Erm, I think someone must have a sphere of the place—I'm sure there'll be at least one in the temple, maybe we should just go after all."

"… Sphere being some sort of recording device? I don't think I have encountered one of those before."

"Really? Even Zanarkand had those, what do you have instead?"

Given no disagreement she dismisses Valefor (which doesn't look like anything other than Valefor up and deciding to fly away) starts walking up the steps, followed by a reluctant Kimahri and a less reluctant everyone else.

Theo flies to follow them. "It depends on what you're trying to record, but – mainly phones and computers that store audio and video and play them back."

"Spheres do that. And you still haven't explained what you do."
