[When Roxas had suggested their former training area as a place to meet, he hadn't expected it to be quite so cold. Maybe winter was finally showing its true face, enough that he was wearing an extra layer of padding beneath his black Organization coat.

But they'd work up a sweat from sparring if they did it right, and maybe it would be a shorter session if Aqua just wanted to take his measure to start with. He'd keep an eye out to make sure neither of them turned blue.

He took a corridor to the woods, just outside the clearing. Almost immediately, he spotted his teacher-to-be, and raised a hand in greeting.]

Aqua. Hey.

[Weird ... how quiet everything is in the snow. It's no surprise that she heard him immediately upon his arrival, turning to greet his wave with one of her own. As she turns, the flame moves along with her, as if magnetized to her left side.]

Hey! ... [She laughs nervously, tensing her shoulders.] Staying warm?

[pullsheavendown]

Pretty warm. This coat's good for most weather...and an extra sweatshirt helps.

[Laughter is a good sign. Better than some of the weird looks he's gotten before, like she was trying to look at him and see what wasn't Ven. He blinks at the magical flame; it's not like anything he's ever seen before.]

How did you make that? It's kind of cool.

[Short, jumpy sort of shrug. Too cold for elective smooth movements.]

It's a Fire enchantment ... no big deal.

[Freezing weather is a fantastic catalyst for creativity, as it turns out. One way or the other, she suppresses a smile and passes her hand hurriedly through the flame's 'wick', extinguishing it.]

You'll be able to make one for yourself soon enough. Depends on whether you have a knack for charms or not.
