[Thirteen minutes. That is how long Aqua has been awake, sitting up on the plaza fountain ledge, rubbing her forehead in a daze and looking generally misplaced. There's a vivid recollection of departing for Radiant

[She was walking back to her manor when she saw Aqua, Terra's dearest friend awaken in the central plaza. She went over to the younger girl and knelt down, resting a hand on Aqua's brow. Serenity's skin seemed to emit light, her skin cool.

When she saw Aqua start to rouse she pulled her hand away, still kneeling beside the blue-haired girl.]

Are you alright?

[keystorm]

[Aqua... felt Serenity coming before she even saw her, and remained unmoving and silent as the woman approached. Not out of fear, mind you, but of sheer awe. Even in the semi-conscious state, there was no denying the levity of energy within the individual who tended her.

Pure hearts, filled with light. The Keyblade Master was no stranger to that concept, but... when the hand was placed upon her forehead, it drew a literal shudder. As Serenity kneeled, the expression Aqua wore was one of confusion... and quiet reverence.

Am I alright...?]

I... [Mouth was dry; She cleared her throat and began to sit up.]

I think so.

[white_polaris]

[Serenity offered a warm smile as she stood up.] I'm very glad for that Aqua. Terra will be very happy you've returned.

[keystorm]

You know who I am...?

[Watching carefully with a doe-eyed stare, Aqua... remained seated, for now at least. But she took a turn for the worst at the mention of Terra -- who, to her knowledge, had just...]

And you know Terra?! Where is he? Is he here?

[white_polaris]

I do. Not well, but I know you yes.

And Terra is with me at my manor and has been staying with me since you and Ventus left. Knowing you're here will bring him joy.

[keystorm]

Since Ventus... left?

[Then Ven was in this place, too?
Her gaze drops to her hands for a moment as she tries to settle her racing mind.

... Then he's alright. Terra is alright.]

I'm... I'm really sorry.

[It's shameful. Someone with such strength of heart knowing her name, while she remembers nothing of her.]

I can't remember anything about this place. Or... who you are.

[white_polaris]

[She gently caressed Aqua's cheek before tilting it up.] Don't be so hard on yourself Aqua. That you are well and safe is enough. Why don't we go to my manor and I can explain things better there?

[keystorm]

[The manor... That's where Terra will be?
It doesn't matter. This woman's heart shines with the dazzling brilliance of purity. That fact, in and of itself, is enough grounds for Aqua to place a great deal of trust in her words.

She only meets Serenity's gaze for a moment before averting her eyes respectfully... and nodding, remaining silent otherwise.]

[white_polaris]

I'm sure you have many questions. Please don't be afraid to ask me anything. I've been in Somarium for almost a year so I shall do my best to answer everything. Ah but I suppose I've missed something very important. My name is Serenity, Aqua. Please feel free to come to me for anything. If you are in need of a place to stay until you can get on your feet then by all means, my manor has many rooms.

[keystorm]

I'd be most obliged... if I could stay with you until I can find a way out. Terra is with you, right?

[white_polaris]

That's perfectly alright, Aqua. I would be happy to have you. I have no real "rules" as it were only to respect the others and their privacy. Terra is with me, but once he finds out you are here I have a feeling he won't be staying long.

[keystorm]

[He's here. He's alright.
It's repeated in her mind in a slow cadence three or four times before she can find the right words to respond. But in no time at all, she's on her feet with a confident steadiness... and offers a grateful nod.]

I'm ready when you are.

[white_polaris]

Let's be on our way then. [She held out her hand to Aqua and smiled warmly.]

do you has AIM, Jax? :3a

[keystorm]

[There it is again -- that Light. All of a sudden, the situation doesn't seem so... dire anymore. Serenity's smile is infectious, so her expression is soft when Aqua takes her hand with a sigh.]

Yessum!

[white_polaris]

[She wraps her hand around Aqua's her skin as pale as the moon and emitting light. She started to head to her manor.]

Do you have any questions Aqua?
