[And suddenly, an Aqua! An Aqua who seemed intent on chasing someone, until her attention was drawn to the fact that she's not where she was supposed to be.]

What...?

[...She shakes her head. No. She cant get distracted. She needs to find him.]

Van! Where are you?!

[He is in so much trouble when she finds him.]

[ooc: Possible BBS spoilers.]

[He closes his eyes, turns slightly-] I wish I was. I wish I knew an answer.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[Augh. This is a headache she doesn't need. It's bad enough that Van ran off like that. But now she cant even go look for him? This sucks.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry. I wish I had better news for you. All I can say is when you do get back [he'll make it a 'when' rather than an 'if' for white lie's sake] it'll be like you were never here. Things will be the way they were when you left.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[...Looks back at him.]

So I just have to be patient?

[She can deal with that. She's been undercover for the past few years. She can wait a little bit longer.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There's nothing to it but wait it out and hope.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.]

I see.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's not a bad place, though. It looks after people who end up here. Or something does.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

I guess it's not so bad then. Is there anything else I should know about it?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Okay, let me see...
[He starts listing things off on his fingers.] There's all sorts of accommodation and everything for people here. The food's handy, and there's plenty of it. Plenty of things to do - there's stuff like games rooms, but I think you might be interested in the training and simulation rooms too?
...And, uh. There's rooms that look like bits of worlds. And like I kinda mentioned, people who are copies of people you'll know, but from other universes and timelines.

Sorry for late reply. Stressful week was stressful and giving me trouble with muses. ^^;

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[She listens carefully, making sure to remember everything.]

I see.

Thanks.

Aw.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

No problem. I ... wouldn't want to see you get all confused about things, you know? Well. Anyone. I remember it not being fun when I got here.

[Although part of that was because 'hello, vengeful Terra wants to kill you.']

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

I suppose it's a good thing I ran into someone friendly first then, huh?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He laughs.] Yeah. I mean, most people here are all right, but there's a few who ... ah, aren't. And it can be a bit dangerous, too. The other day, we had an invasion of Heartless - uh, imagine what you'd get if Unversed went around stealing hearts and you're pretty close. You've got to watch yourself.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[She knows of Heartless. Master Xehanort used them to try to train them to use their Darkness. However, she hasn't seen one in a long time.]

I think I can look after myself pretty well.

[Drops her serious face for a moment to smile. Confident, this one.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He grins.] I thought so. But better safe, am I right?

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

True. You can never be too careful.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. [A bit of a chuckle.] ... You're a Master, right?

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

Yes. A new Master, but still..

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Ah. So I ... guess you wouldn't be interested in passing some time here giving any lessons?

[Long shot is go.]

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[You get a raised eyebrow at that.]

What kinds of things are you wanting to learn?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

Things you can't learn from books and fighting alone. - Ah, this must all be too sudden. I mean, I haven't even introduced myself! Heh. I'm Xeha. [Fingers crossed...]

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink. She's now taking in that he looks very much like Terra. Except for the white hair and his eyes and the fact that he's clearly younger than Terra. And for a moment, it feels like her throat's closed up.]

...Would that be short for, Xehanort?

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[A sigh, and he looks down.] Yeah, it is. So if you want to just say no here and now because of it, well... I won't blame you.

[rainxfallen.livejournal.com]

[....After a long moment, she sighs, closing her eyes and shaking her head.]

...No. It's alright.

[After all, she'd known all along what would happen to him. So did he. No matter how much she didn't want it to happen.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

It's kind of awkward. But if I just say I'm - pretty closely related to the old Master - for the moment it'll probably be simplest. [He shrugs.] But I kind of inherited keyblade ability from him [and Terra, but-] and though I've tried to teach myself ... I know I can't do everything on my own.
