Character(s): Aqua and Terra
Content: Talking! On the beach!
Setting: Destiny Island
Time: Sunset~ Some point least post the keybladers meeting.
Warnings: Nada

This was the first time Aqua had seen another of the floors. She'd been told of them, but she couldn't have imagined it like this; it was hard to believe it wasn't really Destiny Island she now found herself on.

Sitting on the sandy beach, Aqua was lost in her thoughts from earlier in the day.

While seeing the floor had been astonishing, it had been the hallway and stairs between the two floors that had really caught her attention. The bright white hallway reminded her so much of the last time she'd left the Land of Departure, after using her Master's keyblade to lock their home, with Ven inside. Though the hallway did resemble what she could vaguely remember, Paixao, Destiny Island... certainly none of those floors had existed when she was there. Could the hallways be just like Destiny Island? The landscape around her looked just like it, but she knew it couldn't possibly be. The same could be said for the hallways, perhaps.

It would have also helped if she could remember the hallways more clearly; it had been a long time ago now. She certainly hadn't exactly been paying close attention to the halls as she'd left.

She sighed a little in frustration, turning her attention away from hallways for now, instead looking out across the water, enjoying the view of the orange and purple sky. The sunset was beautiful tonight...

Terra stood by the shore on the beach as well, watching the waves rolling in, and not really noticing Aqua's frustration.

To say Terra seemed distracted was an understatement. He still couldn't shake the feeling that everything that was happening was all his fault. Maybe it wasn't, not really, but there was still that little voice in the back of his head that kept saying that maybe, just maybe, if he had done something a little bit differently, maybe this wouldn't be happening.

Compound that with the fiasco with the domes, and Hope and Lightning's disappearances, and, well, needless to say Terra had a lot on his mind.

Glancing to her side, she looked over at Terra quietly for a moment. She had been aware he was there, but not hadn't really paid him any attention till now; he hadn't said anything. He seemed as lost in thoughts as she'd been just moments ago.

"It's a beautiful sunset, isn't it?" she spoke up, to see if she'd get his attention.

"Hmm?" It took Terra a moment to register that Aqua had spoke, he had been far too lost in his thoughts. "Oh, yes. Yes, it is."

The response was mostly automatic, though, and he was still preoccupied in his thoughts about, well, everything.

Aqua could tell very clearly just how distracted Terra was; he hadn't even looked at her. Mind, she'd been almost just as lost in her own thoughts, but a moment ago. She watched him a moment, wondering whether to try to speak to him more, or leave him to his thoughts.

It only took a moment to decide. "What's got you so distracted, Terra?" she asked him. She'd decided to pry, at least a little. Things might have gone a little different back then if they'd all been more open with each other. It was a mistake she didn't want to repeat.

"Nothing, it's... nothing."

No, he shouldn't lie to her and keep things to himself, it's better if he's open with her.

"A lot of things? I'm not sure where to start."

She couldn't help but feel the twinge of disappointment when it seemed like he was going to close up; pretend that nothing was wrong. She was ready to press a little more, but then he went and surprised her.

"Well... how about with whatever it is you're thinking of most?" Aqua suggested, turning slightly in the spot she was sitting in to face him.

"Hope and Light disappeared so.. suddenly." He said.

"I know it's probably for the better but, I wanted to get to know them better." Maybe it wasn't something that he should let bother himself, but it bothered him none the less.

Aqua hadn't really had a chance to get to know them very well herself, Terra had been with them a little longer. Now they were not only gone, but the apartment had fallen victim to the falling roof, like so many other buildings.

"There doesn't seem to ever be any warning," she said, also sounding regretful. "People just vanish... I want hope they're being returned to their world, but... there's just no way to be sure."

She hugged her knees a little closer to her chest, as she thought back to to that fragment of message relating to Xemnas and 'the heart of worlds'. "If the worlds have truly been "unraveled"... then where would they go?" She had no answers, but it worried her to her core.

Aqua closed her eyes for a moment, before opening them, a look of determination filling her expression. "I'm sure we'll have a chance to see them again!"

"I hope you're right, Aqua." Terra replied, joining Aqua in sitting by the shore. "If we stop the Organization, everyone will be okay, right?" He looked at Aqua, a hopeful look crossing his face.

It didn't last long, though, and Terra found himself staring out at the horizon yet again, mind wandering to various thoughts.

"I wish that was the case, but... I feel like there's a lot more going on here," Aqua replied quietly and thoughtfully. As much as she wished it was that simple, she had more than a feeling that things were a lot more complicated than that.

"Even if we defeat the Organization and gain everyone their freedom... if something really has happened to all the worlds, where will we go?" she continued, still very worried about that page of writing that had turned up.

Her gaze fell to the sand. "We will have to face Xemnas."
