Who: Aqua and YOU!
What: It's hot, way too hot for anyone's likening and finding out your bff is gone REALLY sucks, so what better way to kill two birds with one stone than casting blizzard spells?
When: Today 9/7
Where: Far corner of the beach.

It was hard to swallow Terra was gone. He had managed to slip through her fingers again. Aqua had tried to make contact with him after he first arrived, but figured maybe he was making friends. She should've known something had happened. The same could be applied to Vanitas. He had been quiet since their last and only fight, but thought he was staying out of trouble. Did something happen between Terra and Vanitas that made them leave? Did Vanitas have a hand in Terra's sudden departure?

More and more questions ran through her mind making the guilt and worry grow. The heat wasn't helping either. The only thing she could do to channel her energy into was casting once ice spell after another along the beach. She managed to freeze a small portion of the water, allowing her to stand and throw her spells out to the horizon.

You had the chance to see him and wasted it. Shoving the thought aside and swallowing her own guilt she threw out another Blizzaga spell, creating strong icy winds and snow before throwing it out to the sea.

Aqua stays silent for a long moment, before she finally speaks again in a soft voice.

"I didn't get to say goodbye."

[captainkink]

"... Yeah," Kirk answers, turning to look at the sea, "I know."

Aqua swallowed the lump in her throat even as tears threatened to fall from her face. She forced it back. There was no use in crying. It wouldn't bring Terra back, or prevent him from going down the path she witnessed. All she could do was move from her melted iceberg, through the knee high water and back to shore to stand next to Kirk.

[captainkink]

Gently, he says, "Better?"

[watersacrificed]

Aqua shakes her head, doing her best to keep everything together. To not cry again in front of Kirk. She's stronger than this. She should be at least. Taking in a shaky breath, she reaches out to gently place her hand on his.

"Don't leave without saying goodbye, okay?"

[captainkink]

He exhales. He can't help thinking about Spock... even briefly.

"Sure," he doesn't hesitate, "I won't."

[watersacrificed]

"Good," she murmurs back, tightening her hold on his wrist before she moves closer to him to give him a hug. Why was it he was always around to find her at her weakest and somehow make her feel better?

[captainkink]

Looping an arm around her loosely because hugs aren't really his department but she is (and feels) so young.

[watersacrificed]

A young woman who experienced so much in her short life that sometimes, it's hard for her to shoulder it all.

"...Thank you."

[captainkink]

"You're welcome."
