[At some point, Ven will explain at least most of the stuff he's breezing through as if it doesn't really matter. It all does, of course, but he's rather too used to world-jumpers knowing what's going on and everyone being more or less up to date, which Rise obviously isn't, through no fault of her own. She has a lot of questions, but also right at the moment they need to work primarily on getting her settled, comfortable, and taken care of for however long she's with them.]

[He nods at her request - honestly, he'd half thought she'd want to come with him. She knew him at least a little, though he knew she'd like the others once she met them, and at the moment it might be better for her to be in a quiet place like the Land of Departure.] If you want - we'll need to go to Twilight Town first, Xion said she'd get some clothes together for you, since Aqua's too tall for you to borrow a lot of stuff from her. And you'd just swim in anything of Terra's. [He gives a quick smile to show it's a joke, but he's also completely serious about that. Rise's not the shortest girl he's ever met, but Terra is just big.] And Aqua asked me to run a couple errands if we had to go through there. It shouldn't take long; I know today's been... weird for you. You probably just want to go to sleep and hope you wake up and this'll have never happened.

[If she pays really close attention, Rise might be able to tell that that statement feels all too sincere for someone as seemingly happy and open as Ven. Like he's had that happen to him, too, probably more than once. It's part of what's making him want to help her - he's remembering what it was like when it was him having these problems. The other part being, of course, that that's just the kind of person he is.]
