[Here we have Kurt, wrapped in rather warm clothes, out in the gardens, just practicing while things are quiet. Usual exercises - what's new here, then?
Well, how about that sword? Not one of his usual pair... the thing's a double-handed job, even for him. And that's saying something. He seems far more awkward with it than with the familiar curved blades, but perhaps that's not surprising? Everyone needs to start somewhere...]

[...well, he's being watched, by the Sora peeking in the doorway.]

[One, two, three, spin, two, three, is that some light he can sense there? - spin, twist, lunge, strike - pause, as he spots just who the light is. He gives her a nod.]

Ah. Hello.

[Okay, this feels a bit odd.]

[y-yeah, no kidding. she's tempted to duck away and go without responding, but sends him a small, unsure smile instead.]

Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt...

[Trying to sound normal, unruffled-] Hm. Well, don't concern yourself with it. These things happen.

Right...

[...okay, so- she's curious, and she doesn't want to just leave, because that would seem rude-]

...what are you doing?

Training. I acquired this [twisting the giant sword] a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't tried it out yet.

[something darts out at you from one of the shadows, blade poised for attack; you better think fast and block!]

[Good job he was already in the mood for it, hm? He swings round, brings the blade down to deflect the incoming blow, and gives a laugh.]

[it grins somewhat ferally back, launching a quick ground combo before leaping up for an air combo to force you to swing that heavy blade around for a real workout]

[He spins and twists it around to defend, attempting to ground the replica again before that aerial attack can hit.]

[this is where your strength and size make a difference; it has to block you blade and the force sends it back to the ground, though it lands on its feet with its blade in a defensive position]

You pulled that off better than I thought you would.

[He makes a somewhat ungraceful move out of his own position into defence, resting the blade ready.]

Hah. Perhaps I'm a quick learner.

[ 'sup. KH hasn't changed into anything, and well.. doesn't really need too because she can ~~CHANGE THE WEATHER~~ keep herself warm with all of those hearts in her general make up, thank you very much. Her tactic for meeting Kurt this time is to sneak up on him and give him a gentle poke, an amused half smile on her face. If.. Kurt doesn't strike out of reflex or something, he'll notice that his ~~girlfriend~~ friend is. well. injured. ]

[He just about stops himself from doing so, realising who and what the light suddenly present is - and then notices what exactly is up with her.]

Lady...?!

I think you should have a handicap. It's not fair that you're so tall.

Hello, Kurt. I see you've decided to try a new weapon?

[ TRYING TO ACT CASUAL. Her smile seems reassuring enough, doesn't it? And she isn't acting like she's in pain! ]

[Yeah, but great glowy wound, he is not too happy with the look of that.]

A friend was working on constructing them. I thought it was worth an attempt. Though - it still feels awkward.

[ She'll get to it eventually, be patient, giant Heartless man. ]

Well, I imagine it would be awkward changing something like that after being so use to something. I had something.. slightly similar happen to me a while back, though I'm sure Layla has told you about that little mishap.

There was something she was trying to tell me that ended up as nothing but giggles. Would that likely be the same thing?

More than likely.

[ sighs. ]

The Dressing Room decided to see what it would be like if a male Kingdom Hearts walked the hall ways for a day.

Ah.

[Pause.]

Well.

[Pause.]

I can - see how that was awkward.

Very. But, thankfully, it only lasted until.. enough people saw me.

[ waves that off-- ]

Anyway, I've come to ask you.. something. Something that's very important to me.

[He frowns.]

What would that be?

I... need you to take Layla away. I need you to take her away and keep her in the safest place you can think of, wherever that may be. And I request that you stay with her, wherever it is you may take her.

[ She looks him straight in the eye as she says this, though her voice is very soft. And kind of sad. ]

You know I'd always keep her safe, but - Lady? Why are you asking?

[He glances down.]

Is it anything to do with - what happened to you?
