[An open courtyard here, with a fountain at its centre, is the site of a little bit of a show.

Aqua has no intention of letting herself get caught out any more by spells, by things going wrong. With what she's been through in the past, how could she let herself be so - wrecked by it?
So she's working on it. Working on what she can, anyway. Her own skills. (Not all of which are ones she had back when she fought alongside her friends...)

Different sequences - some more familiar moves, some less so. She goes through variations of spinning rainbow lights and orbs around her form, athletically leaping in and out of what she's made, kicking and slashing at them in turn... she stops, lifts hands out to her side, and gently hovers from the ground, calling on an absolute torrent of light and fireworks before dropping back again.]

I can do this...

[...Don't look now, Aqua, but there's a fourteen-year-old one of your doubles watching in awe.]

[Going into a spinning move, rainbow lights following her hand and wait what? She stops suddenly, sending the lights hurtling off into the distance and into a wall.]

Oh - ah, hello.

[She does, at least, smile.]

[tinywater.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I didn't mean to startle you...

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[She takes a breath.]

It's alright. I probably needed to take a break.

[White lie. She gives a little shrug and another smile.]

[tinywater.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? I don't mind...

[She wouldn't mind watching her train, either. She'd love to try out some of those moves.]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Well... I'll probably start again in a little while.

[She's sure she put a drink around here somewhere... aha.]

[Hey, Aqua, you have an audience. Akane laughs and claps. "Spa-klee!"

Momxene just looks bored.]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[Cute kid. She laughs a bit, and gives Akane a little wave.]

Hello! I ... didn't realise anyone was watching.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

We just got here.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, it's just something I've been meaning to work on.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I should get back to practicing myself.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

What do you do, then?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

To fight?

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Well... in this context, yes...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

This.

[an arc of lightning leaps between her outstretched hands]

And knives.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes flicker wide for a moment, and she glances at the kid, before looking back up.]

...Oh. I see.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[notices that look!]

Is there a problem?

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

You - just caught me by surprise, a little.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

That was only a small demonstration.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles-] I'm sure.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Anyway, I'll leave you to your training~

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Ah - thank you. [She offers a smile at that.]

[time-keyed.livejournal.com]

[You have an audience, Aqua, if that impressed clapping is anything to go by.]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[Huh?! Oh. Er. She gives a slightly embarrassed laugh.]

Oh - thank you!

[time-keyed.livejournal.com]

That was brilliant! [Pardon the unintentional psuedo-pun.] How long have you been doing that?

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[Aww. She's all flustered.]

Honestly, it's hard to give a length of time... I've been training since I was young to be able to do it, though.
