16 ☀ Day; HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PROGRAM?

[savior_n_black]

[ Hello Promenade, this time when the screen clicks on, it looks like Ichigo's been caught halfway between searching through some book offscreen, and looking up at somebody else off screen all the time. ]Hey, listen, I know this is weird considering how many people come, and go through here, but I met somebody who doesn't talk that much. He's

I've never heard of "Clu", but are you a friend of Rinzler's?

[...yeah, she isn't that thrilled hearing Rinzler's name.]

I don't think this guy has 'friends'. I told him I'd help him if I could, though.

I gathered that much when he came by, chasing after someone. Couldn't help but get the feeling that he's lost sight of something important... [She pauses, then smiles faintly.] It's good to stay true to your word, though. I'm Aqua.

Kurosaki Ichigo.

...Listen, Aqua-san, I've heard about what he's doing. Hunting someone, and all? But I said I'd help him, not help him hurt people.

Mm. [She listens patiently, something she wished she had been able to do in the past. Almost absentmindedly, she places a hand over where her arm had been sliced open before curative magic healed the wound.]

I understand. Even the most noble of actions can cause others to hurt. I promised to help someone, too.

No. I'll help him, even if he doesn't want it, and even if it pisses him off. I won't stand around, and let people get hurt in front of me.

Friends are always the first priority, though, right? Even when you sometimes hurt them on accident, you still stick by them.

Be careful, alright? I'd hate for a new friend to get hurt.

[This boy... He reminds her so much of someone else.] And you're right. I only wish Sora and I could have gotten through to him...

[ New friend? This confuses him. ]

Sora?! Wait, was Sora fighting with him, too?!

[destinedwaters]

[It's part of her upbringing. You're already a friend to her, or at least an ally. ...Especially now that you've mentioned Sora.]

... Yes. We were fighting together. [A pause.] I take it you know him, too?

[savior_n_black]

[ Ichigo will fight to protect perfect strangers, but he's funny about who he calls 'friend'. Allies for now, though it seems. ]

Yeah, he's a good friend of mine!

Is he okay?! Did he get hurt, what happened?!

[destinedwaters]

[Hey, whatever floats your boat, Ichigo.]

And an old acquaintance of mine. [It's almost funny, how she just keeps running into people who know him. Maybe the city wasn't so big, after all...]

He's fine. Any injures sustained were healed with magic quickly. [She prides herself in those skills, but the smile fades slightly at the next bit.] Quorra was hiding in the shadows of a building we both happened to pass by, Rinzler not too far behind. We only fought to buy her more time to escape.

[savior_n_black]

Shit...

Well, th-that's good Sora's okay, but none of this makes much sense. Rinzler himself especially.

I need to meet 'Quorra' Talk to her myself, and get to the bottom of this.

[destinedwaters]

You're right; it doesn't. I couldn't get much out of either one...

[She sighs, running a hand through her hair.] Good luck. She said she didn't have her PORTAL on her when we ran into each other.
