[Aqua's at the lake for some silent contemplation. A lot has happened in her life before coming here, things that have shaken her on a personal level, though her resolve remains firm. Ven, Terra, Master Eraqus, and the cause of all their troubles and heartache, Xehanort. While she's sure that this war between the Seelie and Unseelie is important, she can't help wondering what's happening back home. If the battle is still raging while she's here facing the same battle in a different world.

When she hears the voice, she turns. Surprise and recognition flash across her face. This...it can't be. Aqua remembers that boy, the one who reminded her strongly of Terra. The one she made Sora promise to protect if he ever lost his way. The boy who is supposed to inherit a Keyblade. Yet...this boy is a teenager. That shouldn't be possible.

And that darkness in him is familiar. It reminds her even more of Terra's, yet...there's a fundamental difference in Riku's. She can't quite put her finger on it just yet, still in shock at how it's clearly that boy from the islands, but older.]

Uh...the feeling is mutual, but I saw you more recently. Or, at least, I thought I did.

[She hesitates and then gives him a smile.]

Well, either way, I don't think I said my name. I'm Aqua.
