Lesson One | Just Practicing
Where: Starting in the 'island'/'Somarium', will eventually be... idk, wherever the hell he's led for the party.
When: 4/24, starting a little after noon, lasting until the evening.
What: Terra's trying his hardest to ignore the fact that he's now twenty.
Status: Open-ish?
Style: [Action] brackets, please.
[It really was just Terra's luck that Ven would announce to everyone in their new 'home' that his birthday was approaching. He had never really been overly fond of celebrating the day, as he'd never felt any different on that day than he did on any other. Usually, birthdays only meant something embarrassing being recorded by Master Eraqus, dinner with his 'family', and a few presents (either handmade or otherwise). The idea that he was going to be thrown a party wasn't what was throwing him off.
It was the possibility of there being at least ten people there for what is usually a four-person event. Four always felt like too much; how much would ten feel like?
Eager to just go about his business and, as usual, treat his birthday as he would any other day of the year, the Keybearer made his way to the elevator that lead to the surface, intending to use the beaches as an improvised training ground.
Someone really should've told him that the whole island had been transformed. It made for a small shock, but not an unwelcome one, as it meant he could spend his time exploring this new space and find a nice, open place to go through a few drills.
Or practice a few of the more wide area affecting spells. Which was at least half of them.
Terra smirks slightly; with no one around to get hurt, he could just cut loose. This? Was going to be fun.]

Only one of those targets has thawed somewhat, the result of a Crawling Fire. The target was still smoking slightly, courtesy of the slow-burning flame spell.
At least the praise from someone he's guessing is a Master is enough to make Terra straighten a little bit from the praise, a small smile forming on his face.] Thanks. I'm not as good as Aqua with magic, but I know enough to get by.
[A pause, as he considers possibly asking for advice or for a few pointers. He has no idea what Yen Sid could've known, and therefore could've taught his pupil. And having a trained eye observing not just his casting, but possibly any more drills he runs could be helpful with pointing out flaws that need to be corrected.]
no subject
[His eyes go to the targets, nodding at some of them, most likely able to see some small mistakes but not commenting on them just yet. It's not his place, and he doesn't want to intrude too much.]
This how yer gunna celebrate the big birthday?
[So instead have some friendly conversation, so he doesn't have to talk about just why he won't be as good as Aqua. Stupid traumatic past.]
no subject
[But compared to her? No, still a long way to go. She's always been the natural with magic.
At the 'birthday' question, his eyes widen in surprise before he looks away, a sheepish expression forming on his face as he scratches the back of his head.] I... kind of figured I should get away for a while. That way, Aqua and Ven could set up down below without me getting in the way.
[And he really didn't want to watch them run around making a huge deal like they did every year. ... Well. Since he's said why he's up here...] Anything need improvement?
[It never hurts to get a second opinion. And since Master Eraqus isn't here to point out his mistakes and help him fix the flaws... why not another Master?]
