[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?]

[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.]

[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.]

[Ah, right. Now he remembers.]

.... A-qua...

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

[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?

That's right.

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

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

[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?

[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?

[He nods a little. Eraqus has been making progress on him. The bitty derp can communicate better.]

... 'm okay.

I'm glad.

[That's some improvement.]

Who all have you seen around here? Can you tell me?

Same here. Didn't think I'd run into you again.

[He shrugs, taking a quick moment to think this over.]

Well, I was here for more than a year, but then I got sent back home. Came back here a few weeks later, so about two years total.

... Master Eraqus...

Can't find... Ter-ra and Na-mi-ne though...

I didn't think I'd see you again either, but I'm glad I have.

[She looks surprised.]

Two... Such a long time. That's a little disturbing, to think you'd be in one place for so long.

You will, I promise. They'll be happy to see you.

[His voice is stronger, and she gently reaches out to touch his shoulder, just to give him some reassurance.]

What would you like to do? Have you gotten to see all of this...room? [It's not really a world, is it?]

Nah, two years is nothing. After all, I was cooped up back home for fifteen years.

[Still, Riku looks pretty amused. Nope, not going to mention how he royally screwed up his home.]

Then again, this place is a lot different.

[He nods at that, looking around, before noticing her armor on her sleeve. And then points to it.]

Master said.... I need one of those.

[Cooped up?]

...You didn't like it so much back home?

[She knows he wanted to explore, but...]

[Her eyes travel to her sleeve, slowly nodding.]

Oh, I see. Yeah, yours will go on your arm. [She smiles, squeezing gently on the shoulder she's touching.]

This one, actually. It'll protect you, and give you an advantage. [But where to get one...]

It was a small world. I wanted to do more than just spend my life on an island. Stay in one place too long, and that place becomes a prison.

At least, that's how I felt back then.

[He shakes his head at that last bit. Those were the days alright.]

[He fidgets a little, since he feels like he's not proper yet for missing this piece of uniform.]

[She glances back at the structure, standing.]

Let's go look for some for you, okay? Then you'll be fitted for it.

[It's possible Eraqus will have to give it to him, or that he'll have to summon it on his own. But she'll look for something Eraqus may have left, to use for him.]

[ 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. ]

Your home will always be yours, even if you go to other worlds. It's a part of you. It's not a prison, it's a haven.

[She shakes her head, but tries to smile for him.]

You don't know what you have until it's gone...right?

[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?

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. ]
