Canting her head with a widening grin, she chuckles. Filled with such light, Sora never fails to bring warmth to all those his heart should touch. "Excited for Christmas?"

"Y-Yeah," Sora replied, sounding a little caught off-guard and looking it, too. 

  She was one of the people Yen Sid had said he needed to save and help, and here she was, standing right in front of him! And asking him about Christmas. 

This is so weird, Sora thought, but a slight smile appeared on his lips despite himself. Aqua was here, after all. Which meant she was safe, okay. And if that wasn’t reason enough to smile, Sora wasn’t sure what was.

"I…I’ve got a question," He said, slowly, almost like he wasn’t sure if he was allowed to ask. "How…How are you here? I mean — it’s great! But … I thought … Yen Sid said you were—" He stumbled over his words before pausing, looking at Aqua in both awe and confusion.

Leaning forward, hands meet behind her. "Hey Sora!"

Sora turned around, a smile playing on his lips already at the greeting. The voice sounded vaguely familiar, for some reason. And of course it did! They knew his name -- it must have been one of his friends!

 But his smile slipped away, turning into undisguised surprise when he saw a woman in blue standing in front of him, strong and powerful as the sea itself.

  The woman on the beach. The one he'd seen during his Mark of Mastery exam.

  "Aqua?" He exclaimed, sounding more like a whisper, at the sight of the Master.

throws rocks at his window BI

—Casually trots over to the Gummi-Ship port window, pressing the mechanism that opens it up.

“—Quit throwing rocks at my space-ship!”

"Riku?" Fingers knit before toned and slender abdomen, garnished tightly in navy blue cloth. "I had a question." Troubling him with her trepidation and insecurities seldom fails to cause pride's decline. Though even upon such an arduous slope, she presses forth. "Or two."

“—Hmm?”

A curious din slipped past pallid borders, glance shot towards the comrade who bore oceanic-crown. —Immediately, the man recognizes what apprehension plagued her, hounding the very movements that led her to where he was. Damn nerves—always a troublesome thing, especially when one carried pride alongside it. Never the less, the wielder turned frame to the other, delicate nod given in affirmation to her request.

“Sure—Fire away, Aqua.”

*stares*

The stare of course did not go unnoticed. "You need something?"

☼ ☮

☮ - For me to post a starter.

☼ - If you’d like our characters to be friends.

[ AHHH This will be interesting, since Seifer just recently started getting to know Riku and they have some similarities when it concerns the 'darkness' and we all know where Aqua has been all this time---. So it'll be interesting indeed!! And once they do get to know each other, Seifer will see her as a pleasant companion/ally! I'll be sure to work on the starter this weekend!! Thank you so much for expressing interest!! ]

Gently lathers his Keyblade in Guerrilla Glue and places a snake in his boot. Believes that Woody would be screaming right then. Silently, she hopes he says a particular set of words.

—Still sound asleep with only the faint resonance of his breathing being the single noise in the room.

…Until a faint ‘Hiss' breaks through the silence, sourcing from where his shoes were placed. And due to the lack of coherent reasoning, the knight sprung up from his sleep and shot a purely instinctive ember towards his foot-wear.

Resulting in the objects, along with the serpent, to perish in flames.

“…—”

“—Dammit Aqua!”

 —Where the hell is the logic in a cricket equating to a snake?!
