[The feed is Cam, and he's walking while he talks, looking through one of the in-tact marketplaces, so it seems.]

Hey, huge favor to ask. Can anyone who got here with...some kinda music get in touch with me? I just wanna make a copy of it on my D-Terminal. 'Course if the thing you had it on got fried, I can show you how to transfer it over.

Kinda need as much as possible, as soon as possible. By, the 15th at the latest.

Thanks, to anyone who does, I'll, uh... [He thinks.] I'll make it up to you if you do, swear.

Do we get three guesses as to what you're planning to do with all that music?

[ The last time they talked wasn't at all awkward. Nope. No point in dwelling on it at the very least! ]

[When in doubt, repress! That's totally healthy.]

I mean, I could tell you, it's not that big a deal...

...Do you have any?

[Video]

[knightfan]

I might. But do you really want music from a military academy?

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

I said anyone, I mean anyone.

[Video]

[knightfan]

Then spill the beans.

It's for Maya. Her birthday.

[Video]

[knightfan]

Damn. I should've just guessed.

[ His first guess was their anniversary, but either way he knew Miss Cello was involved. ]

And what's she gonna do with all that music?

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Listen to it, of course. Look, Maya loves music, but she hasn't been able to listen to anything but what's here, in the city, or what she had with her, not since she got here. So, I figured, if I could get a lot of it...

I've heard her play. And any music I've got? Absolute garbage compared to that. She's probably better off makin' her own music in most cases.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Well, of course it is.

[That's a real quick response.]

But that doesn't mean she doesn't like listening to other stuff. It's not just...about playing to her, it's all of it. She's talked my ear off about everything, and if there's stuff here she hasn't heard? ...She'd love it.

Okay, okay, stop bein' sappy. I'll shove a CD under your door or somethin'.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[He can't help but smile.]

Thanks. I appreciate, and she will too.

[Video]

[knightfan]

Just don't tell her I had anything to do with it.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

It's all going on the same place, she won't know where any one song comes from.

[Video]

[knightfan]

Works for me. I'll slide 'em under your door or somethin', but no complaints if she ends up hating it.

[Video]

[headup_stickontheice]

No complaints. I swear.

[knightfan]

Then look forward to the "Best of" collection Balamb has to offer.

[ Which is nothing but earworms. ]
