Who: truemastery, rainprism, todomarishi, feverpitching When: Backdated to November 15th Where: The House of Departure Summary: An unconventional family is reunited. Warnings: None.
[After their home is carefully distinguished and pointed out to her Master, Aqua has allowed Eraqus to assume the lead -- if he so chooses. It's been a decidedly quiet walk, completely and utterly saturated with the shame of her humiliating emotional display.
She can count on one hand the number of times that any of them -- Master Eraqus, Ventus, or Terra -- have seen her in tears ... and her displeasure with herself is visible in every one of her movements and gestures.
Dwelling on it now, of all times, would be selfish. Her body language may betray her, but her control over her voice is absolute... and her face is a carefully constructed blank slate. Terra and Ven have a lot of catching up to do... and she can't even begin to imagine how either of them must feel.
And, of course, when the time comes, she'll unlock and open the front door, giving the immediate interior a hasty once-over (one indecipherable look directed at Terra coming right up) before holding that door open and gesturing humbly for her Master to come inside.]
