vatheon | ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz . . .

Really.

Really.

What. Was there just some kinda alternate universe where everyone slept on park benches and nobody thought there was anything weird or potentially dangerous about it? And everybody from there somehow wound up here? First with that...weird guy. And now this! Nack had had enough.

"Hey, Kid."

No, not really. And it wasn't as though Ven could help it, after his heart had been shattered and lost to the very depths of Kingdom Hearts (again). So when a rather annoyed voice sounded in his ears, his dulled hearing could barely make out what it said. The meaning behind the words was almost lost to a heart that had been sleeping as deeply as his had.

And yet. Huh? I'm not a kid! The one word that rang through hit a nerve, and awareness began to return back to him so that he could properly express his displeasure with it. A scowl settled upon his sleeping features, and he rolled toward the source of that voice. Then a single eye opened to stare at the other being with him with groggy defiance.

"M'not... a kid."

Debating the obvious falsehood of that rebuttal wasn't important right now. He had other points to make, but probably not enough slightly-indignant-concern-layered-over-a-generous-base-of-boredom to add that to the list and still expect to get it all in.

"Yeah, yeah. Listen," he said quietly, "I need ya' to do something for me. It won't take a second."

"Huh?"

Ven was sleepy, and the derp was stronger in him than usual. He rubbed sleep from his eyes and squinted over at the... purple talking dude.

"What's that?"

Nack shifted, crossing his arms and then reaching a hand up to his chin. He was doing his best to seem serious. And he was, but there was this growing counterbalance of self amusement that he was having to deal with.

"I've got to settle something. And to do that, I just need you to look around for me."

Nack was lucky that Ven was a lot like Sora; the type to help out anyone in need. Though he tended to be a bit more on the wary side, a lot more aware of the World Order and general protocol than his heart-buddy. Not that this was Sora's fault, but. A guy used what knowledge he had, right?

Ven rubbed his eyes a bit more, and then slowly regained his footing before tilting his head at the talking... erm, weasel? Considering the request, he shrugged his shoulders.

"What's up?"

Of course half-asleep people were impossible to deal with. Nothing got processed right. And yet still. Never let it be said that the weasel couldn't commit himself to a cause. Who was he kidding, this was fun as hell.

"That's not important yet, just do what I say." he gestured widely, to the rest of the park, "Look around 'n tell me what you can see."

Was this guy telling him what to do? Ven didn't like being ordered around by his mentor. Nevermind a stranger he'd never met prior to today. He crossed his arms over his chest, looking the very picture of a defiant teenager.

"I see a park. Grass. Trees. I don't need to be ordered to be aware of my surroundings."

That much was true enough. While a defiant teenager he may be, he could be quicker of mind and much more mature than anyone might think at first glance. It was insulting, after all the hard work he'd put into his training to be told by a stranger to be aware of his surroundings.

Based on the evidence, Nack begged to differ. But there was no telling some people anything. Didn't really matter, anyhow. "Relax, kid. This is important."

He scratched at his chin, "Now you're absolutely sure about all of that?"

When finding oneself in a new environment, it was always a good idea to inspect their surroundings when they could. With this in mind, Aqua had set out into the city to inspect things after getting herself settled with things. Of all the things she had expected to see on her inspection, however, the form of her sleeping friend was not one of them.

Her eyes widened. As soon as she had caught sight of him, she was running. She fell to her knees beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to shake him. The last time she had seen him, he wasn't able to be awoken.

They were both here, though. She supposed anything was possible.

"Ven? Ven!"

It was worth a try.

While Ven was a heavy sleeper by nature (and this 'sleep' he's been forced into is worse than that by a long shot), it's impossible for his heart to not notice the presence of a heart it's connected to. The d-link itself might not be active insofar as them being able to share abilities here, but the heart to heart bond is still very much active. Deep within him, Ven's heart reaches out toward that shining light beside him, trying hard to grab on and hold it.

Aqua? The light is unmistakeable. A single tear of relief and joy slides down his cheek from beneath his lashes. Everything is hazy: his thoughts, his memories--nevermind his senses. Only his feelings stand out in sharp relief against the fog that's penetrated his mind and heart. Relief. Gratitude. Worry. Joy. It's all there.

The feelings stir faintly in his heart at first, and then fill it until it's full to bursting. Images of himself and the boy and girl he knows by name and by their shared bond flash before his mind's eye. The chain of memories is coming back together, as Aqua leans over and tries to wake him up. And the touch on its own isn't enough to wake him. Her voice is what really gets his heart to stir him from his unconscious state and slowly blink open his tired eyes to squint up at her.

Everything is so bright! But not like the light of her heart, which he can feel there next to him. A hand reaches up blindly, searching for hers.

"Aqua?" He needs to ask, just to hear her voice again. His voice shakes a little.

"Sorry I overslept. Hasn't been too long, has it?"

Relief couldn't even begin to describe what Aqua was feeling at this moment. A smile crossed her face, and a plethora of emotions seemed to be building within her at the sound of his voice.

He's okay. He's really okay.

It was the thought at the forefront of her mind, and it was a thought that continued to repeat over and over.

He's okay.

She took his hand in both of her own, holding onto it protectively. She shook her head, not even bothering to wipe away the tears that she knew were starting to roll down her cheeks. Relief, happiness ... the words themselves couldn't even begin to describe how she felt right now.

She had a feeling he could tell how happy she was, though. Their hearts were connected. The light of her heart would have been able to let him know.

She shook her head in response to his question. It really had been a long time, but it didn't seem to matter. All that mattered was that he was all right.

For the moment, anyway. Obviously, there were other issues to deal with ... but right now, Ven was what she needed to focus on.

"I'm just glad you're okay," she responded finally, that smile on her face never once leaving.

There was no complaint from him when she took his hands, until he felt the wetness of tears drop onto his skin. Looking up groggily, Ven peered at her and frowned when he saw that she was crying. What was wrong? Was she okay? His hands tightened their grip on hers before he released them and moved forward to unabashedly leap at her to give her a big hug. Hopefully he didn't knock her over in the process.

"Aqua... c'mon. Don't cry. I'm okay, and so are you. We're gonna be fine."

Sure, he could feel the happiness there. Which was why he was emphasizing the fact that they were okay. Not just him and not just her. Both of them. Now all that remained was to get out of here and find Terra, wherever he'd gone. Then they could go home and be a family again now that everything was over.

Ven grinned sunnily for her, and nodded. "So'm I. I was worried about you back there."

She shouldn't have been so surprised at the sudden hug from Ventus. It was just like him, to spontaneously hug someone when they were crying; he was just as he always had been. The same Ventus. The same friend she had come to know and love.

Aqua only hesitated for a moment before she wrapped her arms around him in return, holding him to her tightly and burying her face in his shoulder.

Ventus was right ... he was okay. She was okay. Both of them were just fine, and the two of them were going to find Terra and make certain that he was okay as well. The three of them would be together again, and there wasn't much in this, or in any world that could get in the way of that once they got going.

... never mind that they had been separated for what could have been years before this. At least, on her end. Mickey had told her it had been ten years since he had last seen her, and she knew Mickey wasn't one to lie about such things. That was an issue for another day, however. Right now, Aqua was content with the fact that Ventus was here.

She pulled away only a little after a while, lifting a hand to wipe some of the tears that had been making a trail down her cheek. Ven's smile only made the smile on her own face widen a little. He was just as she had always remembered him ... and she was glad for that.

"I was worried about you," she said, a small laugh creeping into her voice as she did so.

"And Terra ..."

Terra.

"... we should definitely see if he's here as well. For now, though, we should probably get you dried off. We don't need you catching a cold or anything."

Ahh, yes. Here comes mommy bear. She hasn't missed the fact that you're shivering, and she's none too pleased with that now that she's gotten over the immense shock of finding you here to begin with.

"We should be able to get you a towel and some dry clothes pretty easily, too. I've been told a few things about this place, and apparently, foreigners such as ourselves are provided with anything we need at no cost to us."

She figured she would have to fill Ven in on what she knew already of this world as they went along.

It felt good to hold tight onto one of his friends and feel that he wasn't alone. This was very much for mutual comfort, though primarily for Aqua's benefit. He couldn't remember ever having seen her really cry before. And he found that he didn't like the sight at all, even if she was happy. Aqua ought to smile, not cry. So he held onto her in a tight hug, and leaned his head against hers.

She's okay. Now we've just gotta find Terra and go home.

Being here and meeting new people was nice. Ordinarily he'd really enjoy it. But right now all he wanted most was to find their other best friend and drag him home to be a family again for awhile before they ventured out into the worlds again together. He breathed in deep, and then exhaled slowly.

Yeah. Quality family time was definitely in order.

Ven reached up to wipe away what was left of her tears, and smiled warmly at her. "I'm sorry, Aqua. I didn't mean to worry you." And he really hadn't. But he'd done it: he'd saved them both from being hurt by Vanitas. To him, what he'd risked and sacrificed had been more than worth it. Little did he know that they'd both ended up enduring a fate that was possibly much worse.

"We'll find him. Then we can go home to Master Eraqus and stay there for awhile."

Reassuringly, he reached for one of her hands and squeezed. He had no idea of what had befallen Eraqus, of course. Nobody had been able to tell him before shit had hit the fan. But even if they did now, he'd have faith that they'd find their master again. Ven leaned back and nodded, looking down at his damp jacket.

"I think I'll be okay, but I kinda want to get dried off anyhow."

Y halo thar mommy bear. He'd missed the constant fussing over him, if he was honest. So he indulged her by slowly standing up on wobbly legs, and waited for her to follow suit.

There was time enough to be briefed on everything that'd happened. For now, he just wanted to be fussed over by the girl who was very much his older sister in every way but blood.

She sees those wobbly legs, Ventus, and she frowns a little at that at first. It made sense that Ven would have some trouble standing after being comatose for so long ... she could only imagine how his body had suffered for his inactivity. Aqua pushed herself to a standing position, taking one of her arms and helping by holding him up as carefully as she could. Her other hand took one of his into it, squeezing it as though to let him know that she was there, and wasn't leaving his side.

Right now, he needed the help ... and she was always more than happy to offer it.

"Let's take this slowly," she advised, wanting to make sure that he was going to make the trip safely, however short it may have been. She looked around for a suitable place to rest for the time being, and began to push Ventus gently in the direction of that place.

In her head, she was thinking of all of the things Ven would possibly need before they headed back to where she was staying for the time being: a towel, first and foremost. New clothing, at least a couple sets of it, was near the top of her list as well. She would have to get some more food, as well ... she wasn't sure how much of it she had, and she needed to be able to feed a teenage boy who hadn't eaten in about ten years. She was anticipating quite the appetite for this one ...

She would have rather had Ventus rest while she did some shopping, but something told her that he wouldn't take kindly to that idea. This time, she wasn't going to argue it. After all, she knew she wanted to spend as much time with him as she possibly could, now that they were together again.

Ten years, and he had no idea. To him, it'd help like a few days at most. And yet he knew Sora a lot better now than he had at first. There were memories there, and that was why Riku's presence was so familiar; because each of Sora's friends were part of his heart which Ven had been sharing. Also, it explained why that last battle stood out obscenely against the backdrop of his other memories, clear and horrible as though it'd just happened yesterday.

To him, it had. But ten years had passed, and he was woefully out of shape. He'd need to work with her constantly to regain the muscle and skill he'd lost. But first, all he wanted to do was stand there and squeeze her hand. It was a comfort he felt she needed more than he did, as he'd never truly been alone as part of Sora's heart.

"Sure. I'm not going anywhere." It was to reassure her, because she looked as though she hadn't seen him in a long, long time. And there was no way he was going anyplace again without her. Or Terra. So he took her hand, and stumbled with her toward the place she'd deemed they could sit for a bit.

With his free hand, he rubbed the back of his head. "Aqua... how long's it been?" It was still hard-ish to see after so long of not being exposed to sunlight. His blue eyes were slitted, squinting over at her almost comically.

Aqua held him upright and slowly helped him as they made their way to a nearby place; it was the same cafe that Yukari had taken her to when she had first arrived. It was a warm place, and it had food and drink, which was something she figured the both of them needed.

Okay. Change of plans. Food first.

As Ven asked his question, Aqua was quiet for several moments; partly because she was focused on helping Ven with moving, but also partly because she wasn't entirely sure how to break the news to him. It was still pretty hard to believe, herself, though she knew she had no reason whatsoever to doubt Mickey's words.

"I saw Mickey here, when I first arrived," she started to explain. It wasn't a direct answer, but hey, she was getting there.

"He told me it had been ten years since he had last seen either of us."

"Mickey's here?" He looked up sharply, about to grin when a wave of dizziness hit him and caused him to look downward toward the ground. Grabbing more firmly at Aqua's hand, he breathed in and out slowly before it passed and he was able to look up at her again.

Thankfully, by then they'd reached the café and he was able to sink down gratefully into one of the chairs.

Mickey was here. It made sense, since Queen Minnie was also in this place. For some reason, it increased his sense of relief. At least if they were stuck here, they were mostly all together. Now all they were missing were Terra, Master Eraqus and Mickey's two buddies.

Speaking o-- wait. WAIT WAIT WAIT. Ven's mouth dropped open at Aqua's next words, and he stammered for a few seconds before he could parrot: "Ten years?!" He rubbed his eyes, and shook his head.

"I had no idea I'd been asleep for that long. I'd thought..." He trailed off, and then picked back up again: "I wasn't sure if I'd even be able to wake up again after that fight."

And then, urgently, as he met her gaze: "Aqua... what happened while I was out? Were you and Terra okay? And how come none of us seem to have gotten older? This... this is so weird. I don't get it."

Edited 2012-04-08 17:40 (UTC)

Aqua waited patiently for his dizziness to pass, then helped him into his seat at the cafe. Once she was sure that he wasn't going to fall over in his seat, she took the seat in front of him and nodded as he had his reaction to the news. Aqua's eyes closed, and her head cocked to the side just a little as she sat back in her seat and responded to Ven's questions.

"I know, I had about the same reaction when I was told. I really wasn't able to tell how long it had been, to be honest ..."

She opened her eyes and looked to Ventus again, trying to figure out how to tell him all that had happened.

"... After you fell asleep, I wanted to bring you somewhere safe. As it turned out, you ended up showing me where you wanted to go ... home. To the Land of Departure. When we returned, it was in ruins, but Master Eraqus had shared something with me after I had become a Master."

She figured it was best to tell him the truth of what had happened. After all, where was the point in hiding it from him? There was no point in trying to protect him now. He was just as much a part of this as she and Terra had been.

"With his Keyblade," She continued, "I was able to make our home into an entirely new place. A safe place. One where you could rest, until the day when Terra and I would come to wake you up. I had been so sure that it was a day that wasn't far off ... I was so convinced of it ..."

She paused again, leaning forward and holding her head in her hands.

"I really wanted to help him. When I found Terra, though ... Maste--Xehanort had taken over his body. Terra was still in there, but it wasn't Terra at the forefront. I fought him, and I won. However, the darkness was still taking him ..."

Her fingers dug into her hair as she relayed the memory to Ven. Obviously this entire ordeal had upset her, no matter how strong she had been during, and after everything had happened.

"I followed him. And I sacrificed myself to the realms of darkness so that Terra could return. After that ... I don't know what happened to him. I'd been in that place ever since, trying to find my way back to the both of you ..."

She stopped there. Aqua figured Ventus would need some time to take that all in.

Ven was quiet for a long, long time after she finished speaking. Because he was digesting that hefty infodump, and he was biting the inside of his cheek to keep his guilt from showing on his face. If he'd been stronger, he could have stopped Vanitas and been a help to his friends. In the end, he'd had to leave them and made a choice that probably should've killed him if Sora had not stepped in... again. He didn't regret the last choice so much as his lack of strength beforehand.

Terra... had been possessed by that creep, his former master. And Aqua, lost in the Darkness of all places. The boy reached forward in silence to grasp her hands tightly, to reassure them both once again that they were not alone. Had Ven been younger, he might have started to cry. But he had to grow up, and he hadn't shown his negative feelings to his best friends now for a long time. No point in starting now. This time, he had to be strong for Terra and Aqua. They'd done that for him for so long and now, it was the least he could do.

"We'll find him, Aqua. We're gonna get out of here, find him and go home."

There wasn't any less he'd settle for. He looked up, his smile a painful expression to bear.

"I'll get stronger and help you fix everything, too. I owe Master Eraqus, after how I talked to him the last time I was home."

It's to keep me imprisoned here, isn't it?! Ven tightened his grip on her hands.

He had a lot to make up for, he thought as he fought the yawning chasm of despair that was trying to gnaw at the edges of his heart. Terra... possessed. Aqua, lost. What's happened to us? I need to help. I want to sit under the same stars, all three of us again.

Eventually, he blinked, and turned his head away for awhile.

How many times it was when Ruca found someone sleeping on the ground? Well, no matter! It still wasn't a good idea to sleep here!

"E-excuse me!"

Fortunately (?), Ruca learnt on his own mistakes that it might be better to speak loudly when you are trying to wake someone up. Because normally he would speak as if he couldn't decide if he wants to wake the person up or not.

By that point, his heart had caught on to the many other presences here. Though it was slow going, Ven was starting to shift to a semi-alert st--or was, until someone pretty much yelled right in his ear. The result was rather comical, as the boy seemed to jump ten feet right off the ground, landing in a heap back in the grass all wide-eyed and sleepy.

"Huh!? Wha--"

Yeah, uh. Who was this? Where was this?! Where were Terra, Aqua... or Vanitas?

"What's going on here?"

Oh, Ruca panicked because of that reaction.

"Ah, I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"

But he did mean to wake the other up. He frowned, looking really worried.

"...Are you okay?"

"It's fine, but what's going on?"

All the confusion. Ven didn't know squat about this world or why he was here, or why everyone and their mom had taken it upon themselves to wake him up. (And draw eyes on him. He's looking at Riku for that one.) In any case... he smiled a bit and sat up on his haunches, only wobbling a little.

"Yeah, of course. What's your name?"

Ruca sighed a bit relieved. He really didn't mean to startle the other, but at least now he was awake.

"This place is called Vatheon... I know it might sound weird, but we were brought here by a coral and can't leave this world."

Even after saying it so many times, Ruca still thought it was a strange thing to hear, especially when you wake up in an unknown place.

"Me? Um, I'm Ruca. It's... nice to meet you."

A million and one questions raced through Ven's mind when Ruca was done talking. There were people here from other worlds? That meant something bad... very bad had to have happened to the Realm of Light, right? And some coral had something to do with it. By this point, he was really confused by the things he was hearing.

"We can leave," he started off slowly, very aware of the World Order and how it'd basically been shot to smithereens.

"And I've got a way to do it. But I don't know how everyone would survive the kind of darkness that's out there without protection."

He paused, and smiled. "I'm Ventus, but just call me Ven. S'nice to meet you."

Edited 2012-04-02 22:09 (UTC)

Now Ruca looked confused.

"You do? But... "darkness"? What do you mean by that?"

He shook his head a little.

"Anyway there seems to be only one way to leave this world... This place sometimes sends people back home, but other than that we can't do anything to leave."

He nodded in acknowledgement when the other introduced himself.

"Oh... uh. Nothin'. I need to see if it'll work here first, anyway."

Given that Aqua was still here and she was a Master, Ven didn't know if it would. Because she'd have been out of here and lout there looking for Terra right away otherwise.

Ven shook his head, and sighed. "There has to be a way."

And he'd keep looking until he found it.

That did not answer any of Ruca's question. He gave Ven one more questing look, but eventually decided not to ask any more questions.

He sighed a little.

"There might be... but finding it definitely won't be easy. Some people have been stuck here for months." Like him.

No, it wouldn't. But Ven could hardly expound on the Lanes Between with a stranger. He hadn't even mentioned it to Riku yet.

And he had faith that they'd find a way.

"Probably won't be. But it's no less worth trying to do."

He blinked, surprised, and fisted one of his hands. "I'll get you home."

Somehow.

This guy... he wouldn't give up so easily, would he? For a moment Ruca found himself amazed by how much the other was optimistic about finding the way out of here.

"It definitely won't be easy..."

Ruca sighed and smiled a bit.

"...But thank you."

Riku normally didn't frequent this area. In fact, he was just planning on finishing his second shift in patrolling the city streets, get something for dinner so they wouldn't have to cook tonight - he knew that he and Mickey would be exhausted after all of this - when he saw a familiar head of blond hair just lying there. It was tempting, very tempting to just doodle on his face...

Nope, even though it was April Fools tomorrow, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Oh wait, Roxas didn't wear armor.

Ten minutes later, should Ven wake up and look in a mirror, he'd find that his face was now decorated. ...Though he felt bad about it, possibly leaving him out here in this madness. He knew that this kid was important to Aqua as well, and while it was fun to pull pranks sometimes, he couldn't well leave him like that. Riku knelt down again, having discarded of any and all evidence that would point to himself before placing a hand on Ven's shoulder and shaking lightly.

"Hey... Wake up."

When Ven eventually realized what'd been done to him, someone would be getting pranked back. And those would be the people who'd disturbed his beauty sleep, though honestly it could've been any random passer by. Ven wouldn't really discriminate. However. At the moment, he was startled clean out of his unconscious state thanks to the voice that interrupted it. It failed to process in his mind, because his heart felt the strong presence of light mixed with darkness near him.

Excitement and relief filled him, and he was scrambling up before his eyes had even opened.

"Terra?! You're okay!"

Yes... he'd utterly derped around and not registered the fact that it had not been Terra's voice that had called to him.

Like he cared. After all, it was that time of the year. Guess that meant two for the price of one?

Instead he only blinked at the name. Terra, the one that he had a feeling belonged to someone he'd promised something important to a long time ago. With the few from that time passing and leaving through this world so many times, it felt like deja vu to hear it again, much like it had been that foggy night in November.

Aqua had muttered that name once before, too.

"Sorry. Not quite him." Though he wondered, just how was he connected if Aqua had seen... "I'm Riku. Guess you could say... he's an important friend of mine, though."

Suppose so. Riku would just end up reaping what he'd sewn. That was all.

"You're... oh. Uh. Th--" Ven raised his hands to his eyes and rubbed the sleep clean out of them before he blinked them open to stare dubiously over at the stranger. That heart... gave off such a familiar presence. Riku himself was familiar. But how? And why?

"Oh. Well..." Confused and worried and disappointed as he was, he didn't let that show on his face for an instant. Instead, in a move Riku was likely very familiar with, he put on a bright grin and held out a hand.

"Then any friend of his is a friend of mine. I'm Ven."

Riku doesn't mind so long as it was all in good fun, just saying. He waited though, not showing his amusement at the stumbling over himself. The kid just woke up, after all.

Okay, he still wasn't about to comment on the "make up" job, either. That one he could wait for just a little longer. Instead, he merely shrugs a bit. Ven's presence was familiar, too- he'd know it anywhere. Though he wasn't exactly sure how, wasn't sure if he wanted to know. Okay, he was sure that he wanted to know. He kept his mouth shut, instead deciding to observe and wait. He'd want to see his supposed-to-have-been Master, as well.

Yet in a world that called so many to itself, letting others pass through while others stagnated, he doesn't know if he even has the right to say it.That grin... It was so much like Sora's.

"Riku," he replied, shaking hands with the not-quite-but-kind-of new acquaintance. It was painfully obvious that Ven had no recollection if being here once before. "Nice to meet you, Ven. I take it you just got here?"

This was Ven we were talking about here. Any prank he'd commit would most definitely be all in good fun. And he'd have fun getting his 'revenge' on Riku, too. If he knew what the older boy was thinking, he'd scowl like a little kid. Because... yeah. He'd just woken up, and needed to get accustomed to being in the Light again.

The last thing he'd remembered was falling into darkness, and then being surrounded by a bright Light. And Sora. There'd been Sora, as he had before, ready to help him out.

And now there was Riku, who felt so such like Terra that in a way, it was comforting to simply stand there beside him. But this wasn't his best friend. This was Sora's. So he moved back a bit, rubbing at the back of his head in an unconscious gesture that might put the older teen to mind of his own best friend.

"Nice to meet you." He replied automatically, still grinning. "Yeah I did."

Fair enough. He decided to go easy on him in the first place, anyway-

Just like before, there was a horrid case of deja vu. One he didn't fully understand even now. He sighed, crossing his arms in front of his chest in a manner that was probably a little too much like a certain best friend for comfort's sake. Yet he said nothing on it, only nodding at the automatic response.

"...Guess I can fill you in, but you may want to dry off, first." Riku turned to head toward where they'd find the closest stores and thus a towel or two, only to slow to a halt and quietly add one more sentence: "-and perhaps wash your face."

Happy Early April Fools~

[Stop, blink and then Minnie will be approaching him.] Ventus? Is that you?

[ And he's since been awake for awhile now, so he'll turn his head and widen his eyes a bit at the sight of her. ]

Your Majesty! [ He didn't know you were here, too. D: ]

How'd you get here? Have you been okay? How's Mi--I mean King Mickey?

[She's been here for a while. :)] Why, the same way as you did, Ventus.

Oh, I have been rather well. Vatheon certainly is more peaceful than home. The King is quite well. Why, he's here as well. It's nice having him out of trouble for once.

[ Oh.. wow. o.o ]

That's good to hear. But.. the same way? I don't even remember opening a portal.

[ Shaking his head as though it'll dispel the lingering confusion, he grins at her. ]

I'll bet! Have you guys been here awhile?

Oh, don't know if portals are involved, only that one moment I was home, the next here and very very wet.

I do believe I have been here for almost two months, myself, the king less than that. It certainly hasn't been short of interesting though.
