I'm happy to listen to whatever you're willing to share. She seemed important to you.
[ remembering doesn't always ease the aches of the heart, but... forgetting is so much worse, she thinks. love may cause grief, but love eases it, too. it warms the space carved out by absence. ]
Yes. But we're allowed to wish for a better set of cards, too.
[ she smiles a little. ]
...We're not related by blood, but the three of us grew up together. We didn't know our parents, either, but we did have Eraqus—the master we trained under.
[ It's okay, he's been given some memshares outside of memshare week so this isn't too shocking, except yes it is, because he has no idea what he's just seen. ]
Miss Aqua...? What just happened?
[ SOMEONE NAMED TERRA WAS POSSESSED? SHE SACRIFICED HERSELF TO THE DARKNESS? ]

...I'm sorry to hear that.
[ ...she watches him closely, trying to read the expression on his face. ]
Would you rather discuss something else?
no subject
I guess that would depend on if there's anything more you would like to know about her.

no subject
[ A small smile. There's some awkwardness in his voice, like he's not used to talking about her. ]
I wasn't an easy child to look after, but she managed.
no subject
...She must have loved you very much, too. You may not have been an easy child, perhaps, but you seemed like a happy one.
I'm sorry you were both put through that much hardship from an early age.
[ she remembers him telling her how they mostly ate flowers. ]
no subject
[ And while time has not buried the grief or the pain, he's at least made up his mind about certain things. How he'll move forward from now on. ]
You mentioned your own brothers.
no subject
[ she smiles a little. ]
...We're not related by blood, but the three of us grew up together. We didn't know our parents, either, but we did have Eraqus—the master we trained under.
no subject
And did they cause you much trouble? Or were you the troublemaker out of the three?
no subject
You could say I had to pick up after them more often than not.
[ she is obviously dd ]
...It's a long story, but we've been separated for quite some time now.
no subject
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Were you separated by choice, or...?
no subject
Not by choice.
[ well well well if it isn't the convenient memshare effect: (2:42:23 - 2:46:25)!
...she's quiet for a moment, then sighs and gives him an apologetic smile. ]
...Sorry. I thought those were supposed to be over with.
[ me in tears in the bg there is so much going on in kh all of the time ]

Miss Aqua...? What just happened?
[ SOMEONE NAMED TERRA WAS POSSESSED? SHE SACRIFICED HERSELF TO THE DARKNESS? ]
no subject
...That was one of the childhood friends I was talking about.
[ bro #1. the other is, uh. well some things happened with him, too. ]
no subject
What happened to you?
[ WHERE DID AQUA GO ]
no subject
[ uhhh kh hell don't worry about it ]
no subject
[ Things that feel IC of Aqua to do. ]
no subject
[ abnormal sibling circumstances but the sentiment remains. it already sounds like aventurine has experienced his fair share of misfortune, too. ]
We play the hand we're dealt, right?
no subject
[ For both of them. ]
And your other brother?
no subject
...He was badly injured during the last battle we fought. He's been asleep for a very long time, now.
I was supposed to be back to wake him, but...
[ well he just saw how that turned out. ]
no subject
[ It's a bit of a foreign thought to him, to have someone waiting outside of this place. ]
We'll find a way out. You must know this too.
no subject
It's all right. I want to help get everyone out of this mess, first.
[ obviously she won't be doing it by herself, but her focus is on her friends here. ]
...What're you planning to do, when you return?
no subject
To be honest, Miss Aqua, I didn't think I had anything to return to. I was cut down by a sword before arriving in the village.
no subject
...Then perhaps a new start elsewhere, if that's possible. The Astral Express can take you to another planet, yes?
[ she's heard bits and pieces of hsr lore here and there. ]
no subject
You know about them, do you?
[ A small laugh. ]
Well, no. I'm part of a different faction in that cosmos, you see. It wouldn't be so simple to abandon my position.
no subject
[ ...hmm. ]
...Where would you want to go then, if you had a say in the matter? You may have been cut down, but... that isn't the end for you, either.
[ since he wouldn't be here otherwise. ]
