[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]

Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I heard about a party over the journals, but does anyone else have something fun planned? If it's anything like last year, we'll probably get a ton of snow. A big snowball fight could be fun. Just an idea.

[He sighs. This isn't working...]

Terra's gone. After all this time, I didn't think he'd... [A beat.]

Does anyone wanna hang out? Or do something? I think I need a distraction right now.

[There, at least he's being honest. And with that, he'll probably check up on his housemates (especially Vanitas) and then head out into the village for a bit. He might be wandering a little aimlessly. He'll be just about everywhere before he returns back to the house.

Care to cheer him up? Or antagonize him? Anything goes!]

'Course, Ven. Want to meet up somewhere?

Fountain sound good?

You bet. I'll see you in a few minutes.

[It won't take long for Ven to make it to the fountain, and he'll be chilling until Sora's arrival.]

[he isn't far behind, jogging up and stopping at Ven's side, smiling lightly in greeting.]

Hey.

Hey, Sora.

[Ven might be bummed, but he'll smile right back. Friends are a good remedy for sadness, after all.]

I'm... really sorry about Terra.

But you know-- [he taps at his chest with two fingers, right over his heart. he assumes Ven will understand what he means.]

[He nods, holding a hand to his chest and smiling.]

Yeah, I know. We'll always be connected, no matter where we are.

[when Sora really thinks about it, it's kind of funny how much he and Ven have in common-- aside from the fact that other halves of them look like one another, that is. he still hasn't figured that one out, though.]

Exactly! And there are ways you can keep in touch, even when he's back home and you're here.

Really?

[Ven blinks, giving Sora a surprised look. But how can they keep in contact when they can't even leave the enclosure?]

Yup! All you've gotta do is think about each other, really.

[...Oh, that's a good point! Why didn't he think of that? After a few moments, Ven cracks a smile.]

Yeah, I've still got a ton of good memories, even if they aren't around.
