[If you're near the Land of Departure room, you may hear the sounds of sparring. It's Aqua, for now, practicing magic and anything else she can in her old home. It's nice to have a little peace at last from the fighting, but she seems preoccupied. Some things she's seen in this place have startled her, and so she's content herself to just staying in the place most resembling her home and doing what she can.

She steps to the side and twirls her Keyblade expertly in hand, finally coming to rest at the end of one of the forms she's been taught.]

[He's been staying a lot in this place, though when he sees her, he tilts his head a little. Is this one of those "friends" Master told him?]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[sldkfm kid don't sneak up on people like that. She looks over carefully, recognizing him. She dismisses her Keyblade, slowly approaching him.]

...Ven? [She bends down to look him in the eye.]

[tinyapprentice.livejournal.com]

[Ah, right. Now he remembers.]

.... A-qua...

[He looks up at her. Master says she's a friend.]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[Just like before... Small steps. She smiles encouragingly.]

It's good to see you. How are you feeling today?

[Now here's a place Riku's never seen before. Or rather, part of a place; he'd encountered Eraqus in the throne room before, but that was only a piece of the puzzle, so to speak.

Naturally, his curiosity prompts him to venture inside, and what's this? A familiar face? She... looks like that one woman who came to the islands years ago.

For now he'll watch her train; not every day you bump into Keybearers that aren't Soras, after all.]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She spins her blade, striking once, twice in the air and then throwing her blade. She summons it right back into her grip, spinning, summoning a lance of fire to her fingertips. She catches sight of the boy moments afterwards, the spell quickly disappearing.

Isn't that...?

She smiles, waving slightly, setting her Keyblade down to her side.]

Riku?

[gotowardslight.livejournal.com]

[So it is her. Pardon Riku here; he might've laughed quietly to himself. Talk about a chance encounter.

But he smirks, stepping closer.]

Yeah, that's me. You're... Aqua, right?

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She smiles a little more as he comes closer. He's more recognizable now, no longer a small island boy with big dreams. Now he's grown, a young man with a strong heart.]

That's right. It's good to meet you again.

How long have you been in this place?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ Hood up, arms crossed, watching from the entrance of the room -- although she'd suddenly appear on the stone wall where Aqua would usually sit. Don't mind her, she's watching.

How familiar. ♥ Well, except Braig had to deal with a man, but still. ]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She thrusts the blade into the air, light swarming her limbs and shooting outwards. She spins on her toes once, twice, and then settles again, Keyblade out in a defensive position. She glances over, spying the figure at the doorway. She straightens.

That coat's familiar.]

Yes?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Didn't you have a different keyblade before?

[ A tilt of her head, and then she rotated it to the other side. The sniper still kept that one eye on her, though, make no mistake about that. ]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[A female voice? But then... Who is this?]

I might have. Who are you?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it also resulted in a Xehanort wandering in and watching what she's doing. Damn, she's good, he thinks - he gives an admiring and happy laugh at the sight.]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She moves carefully through her form, pausing as she hears the laugh, her eyes scanning the room until they come to rest on the boy.

...Woah, who are you? You look oddly familiar, but she can't quite place it.]

Oh, hello. [She smiles.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Hello. [He gives her a smile back.]

... I hope you didn't mind me watching. I didn't distract you, did I?

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

No, I don't, it's okay.

[She nods.]

I'm Aqua.

[canthasepic.livejournal.com]

[ ... Erp. No, this isn't it either.

Where could he be? Pardon this here Ven. He's very much lacking in height special apprentice gear™.

He also looks totally lost as he wanders aimlessly into the room. ]

Master? Hey, where'd you go?

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She hears Ven's voice, turning, seeing him wandering.]

Ven? Who are you looking for?

[canthasepic.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[ Oh, 'sup. He stops for a moment. How'd she know his name?

The first thing he does is place one hand behind his head, looking a tad puzzled. ]

Oh! I didn't see you there. I'm looking for my Master, though. He's about this tall--

[And he reaches up to about the height of an adult--]

Bald, kinda slumps when he stands. Have you seen him?

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She walks over to him, her step slowing and eventually stopping at the implications.

...Another one, who doesn't remember.]

Master Xehanort is not here. I would stay away from him if I were you.

[thesearepants.livejournal.com]

[ Terra... hasn't actually seen anything strange in the dressing room, probably because this is his first comment. Convenient how that works, eh? Regardless, he's decided to stick to the corner and watch Aqua practice.

It might be nice to join her later, but for now he's content to lurk. ]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[She moves through her form, tossing the blade into the air and casting magic on her own, summoning the Keyblade back into her grasp. She flips backwards, and only as she's mid-air does she spot her friend; when she lands, she turns and looks over at him.]

Oh, Terra.

[She smiles. It's good to see him.]

[thesearepants.livejournal.com]

[ So much for being a ninja. He pulls himself away from the corner and moves nearer to the room's center. ]

It's been a while. [ He nods to her, but only half returns the smile. ]

[wakingwaters.livejournal.com]

[Her smile is more one of relief, gazing him up and down only once, briefly.]

It has. How are you?

[boyishkeys.livejournal.com]

[ Sora peeks in hesitantly, watching her carefully. He's been punted back into the room after a few fights with Vanitas, and caught up on his training back home. And 'lo and behold; he's got his own armor and straps, though the symbol is different. When she stops her combo, he claps, appreciatively. ]
