Terra was wandering the sanctuary, debating whether or not to depart and see about fighting mannequins. She needed to learn more about their enemies' abilities, and that was the best method to do so, other than fighting the enemies themselves. Cosmos' words weighed heavily upon her and gave her a newfound sense of urgency. They had won that last battle, but there was no time to be complacent. Everything might hinge on the next match, and she had to be ready.

It wasn't long before she discovered Kairi training, and she paused a few paces away to watch. The Keyblade definitely caught her interest and quickly became her main reason for observing. It was such an odd-looking weapon to her mind, and yet Cosmos allowed it, so it must be effective....

At first, Kairi didn't notice Terra, fully engrossed in what she was doing, trying to get one particular movement correct, slashing over and over again. It was only when she spun round on the spot that she briefly caught a glimpse of green hair and red clothing, which caused her to stop, lowering the Keyblade to her side, but not dismissing it.

"Is something wrong?" she asked, nice enough. Kairi wasn't the quickest at making friends, but she was always kind and friendly.

Upon being noticed, Terra shook her head quickly, her expression apologetic. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you." Oh, right, question. "Nothing's wrong, I just...I've never seen a weapon like that before."

"Oh, it's fine!" Kairi said, waving her hand in the air, dismissive. She didn't mind pausing or having a break; getting too caught up into what she was doing wasn't going for anyone, afterall. "No worries."

"This?" she lifted the Keyblade up as Terra mentioned it, looking at it and then back to her. But she was honestly surprised Terra hadn't seen a Keyblade; not for the fact that they were common, because they weren't. Keyblade wielders were few and far between, but, there were quite a few of them here now. "It's called a Keyblade. I think they're quite picky about their wielders, though..."

When Kairi called for some training over the crystal network, Aqua went to go and aid the princess herself. A lot was weighing on the Master's mind, from the arrival of her Master to Terra's dissent of Cosmos, and then the whole matter with Chris... It was a little too much, but she'd train a little and then go to find Terra to speak with him more. She also needed to speak with Master Eraqus about the upcoming battle and her pact to make sure it ended in a stalemate.

When she approached Order's Sanctuary, she stopped to watch the girl train on her own. She had a lot to learn but she'd already progressed very far for supposedly only learning to fight here. She smiled, almost proudly, and wandered over. "Keep your side guarded at all times, Kairi. Until you have a little more training, the best you can do is keep your defenses up until you see an opening to strike."

At the familiar voice, Kairi's face split into a smile, suddenly coming out of her concentration and spotting the Keyblade Master opposite her. "Aqua!" she said, lowering her Keyblade half to her side as she did so. She'd only seen her over the crystal network, so far, but it was somewhat exciting to see her... like reacquanting with a very old friend that you could barely remember. Which, she supposed, was exactly what it was.

She nodded at the advice. "Like this?" she lifted the Keyblade up, holding it in a defensive stance. It made sense. She didn't have the strength to be fully on the offensive: only the will. And caught alone, being defensive was probably the best way to play it.

The older girl smiled, holding up a hand in greeting. She circled around to Kairi's side to look her over, first and foremost, like an older sister might after not seeing her sibling for years. She was tall, long red hair, but that same shimmering strength behind those eyes. No doubt about it: this was the girl Aqua had saved only a few weeks ago. Knowing that she would grow up to be this strong and confident made her happy.

"Yes, just like that," she said. She crossed over to her and took her arm gently, testing its hold. "Guard yourself, first and foremost. If one of your allies falls, you will be expected to go to their aid. If you're hurt, then you won't be able to help them." Kairi seemed the type to be a protector, especially if she had the potential to be a great magic user. "When you know some extra magic, you can help from a distance and still keep yourself safe."

[starlitshores]

"Right," Kairi replied, taking in the information. It was useful, and natural, to an extent - she'd been watching this kind of thing for years, so that's all she had. To repeat what she'd seen when Sora and Riku had their playfights, from the times she'd watched them fight from the sidelines. It was just the oral account of how to do it that had never really been given, and it fitted with the images in her mind.

At the latter part, she looked somewhat thoughtful, looking to the Keyblade, pensive. "Magic, huh?" Fact of the matter was, she knew none. "I only really know how to use this from watching others... but... I don't know any magic at all right now."
