[The door to a training room's half-open. Visible through it, Xeha's busy - incidentally, in a pair of loose sweat pants and a T-shirt (reading 'small but perfectly formed'), not his typical gear. He's keying the hell out of dummies: partly just as practice, partly out of frustration - and distraction.

... Okay, a couple of them have badly drawn Vanitas-helmet masks attached to them.
There might be a reason for that.]

Not going to ... [smash-] put up with this...

Did I miss something?

[Aqua's leaning against the door, watching.]

[He looks over at her, gives her a weak smile.]

I've been having a bad couple of days, you could say.

[She nods and steps further inside, summoning her own keyblade for some training of her own.]

Want to talk about it?

Y- n- alright. [He sighs. Might as well get it off his chest, and Aqua'll be as good as anyone to talk to.]

...It's Vanitas. He's been trying to get to me, and then he - killed a Kairi, I saw her die...

[ She's leaning against the doorway, frowning; she heard what happened and is pretty unhappy about it, but she's worried people who want to retaliate are going to underestimate Vanitas. ]

[He eventually realises he's being watched, and turns to give her a look.]

Wasn't expecting spectators.

[A weak laugh. He's seen plenty of Kairis in passing since then, but hasn't talked to any, and this one's looks don't really give a lot away to him.]

[Get a stare right now. She wasn't expecting to hear that about Kairi. I mean yeah, Vanitas was capable of that but wow. Aqua has no idea what to say right now.]

[Another deep breath, another sigh...]

I can't just let him get away with that. Can I?

[ Yes, the more-than-half-black, slightly spiked hair and yellow eyes are totally not suspicious. ♥ But she just smiles faintly, shaking her head. ]

I heard the noise and decided to come see. You seem pretty- angry.

No, no you can't.

[Pokes at a training dummy with her keyblade, then looks back at Xeha.]

[Well, if he'd actually seen Van's face and not his helmet...]

Good guess. Yeah. I am.

[He shrugs.]

So I've got to work out what I can do. Get ready.

[ This is true! Silly helmets. She glances at the dummies, her smile turning sad. ]

Vanitas... pretty much all of them are jerks, huh.

I won't rule out there being a good one somewhere. But all the ones I've known about, that I've met...

[Whack.]

Mm. My friend seems to know a good one. He's... in Ven's place in his world, I think.

[He tilts his head slightly.]

Huh. Well... I guess it kind of makes sense.

More so if you know just who Vanitas is. I hope you're not planning on going after him?

I know they're connected, at least.

[And he sighs.]

And I know it won't be easy. But I can't just let him get away with what he's done...

She'll be back, at least. And... I don't mean to insult your skills, but it'll be more than just "not easy".

[A bit of a shrug.]

What scale of 'more than just not easy' are we talking? What's he capable of?

Trust me it won't be easy.

[Has set up a few training dummies nearby and is whacking away at them herself.]

[ As a Kairi, she's balanced between thinking things through and making rash decisions- this time, it's the latter. ]

I could... show you.

I didn't think it [smack] would be.

You ... could? Well... okay...

[He's far from sure how she means, mind.]

[ Well... she'll step into the room, and put a bit of distance between them before suiting up. Bam, have some Vanitas. Though right after the armor comes on, she- or rather, he- is clutching his head for a moment, apparently pained. ]
