[The feed clicks on briefly to show the young Keyblade Master sitting alone at the beach with a very... peculiar tree in the background, a faint smile crossing her lips as she sat there in thought for a brief moment before she spoke.]
I never thought... I would see this beach again.
[There's a quiet, nostalgic laugh escaping her before she turns ( Read more... )

[ But the rest of what she says gives Ichigo pause. He knew he had that potential for violence, and rage locked inside him - or rather locked within Shiro, and in need of Ichigo's stubborn morality to keep it in check - but in Sora? That didn't seem to make sense. ]
Oh. Right.
[ Speaking off the network does, though. ]
Do you...want me to try to find you?

[It doesn't, and yet... video doesn't lie, nor the sheer panic of the aftermath. Perhaps it was more of the nature of Heartless themselves than actually Sora that caused it, but without knowing more about what happened to him while she was... absent she can't really say much else.]
I could probably find you easier. [For the first time, she sounds...a little sheepish? Hard to tell.]

[ Because Ichigo isn't kidding himself about his crappy reiatsu-sense. He does okay with people he knows well, or specific spiritual energies, but not Aqua. He'd only briefly seen her in person after all. ]

[And the feed cuts just as she tosses her Keyblade into the air, giving him a brief glimpse of it transforming before she jumps on and takes off. Fastest way other than teleportation, and since she isn't that familiar with his presence like she is her closest friends... it was probably for the best she take the moderate-speed approach.
Soon enough though, she'll (hopefully) find him and like a bolt from the blue arrive and land with blade in hand... before dismissing it.]
In hindsight, I should have asked for a general location...

Of course "dropping in" also means Aqua is at the back door, but still. Ichigo is left frowning at the mode of transportation. ]
Um...hi.
[ The clinic is downstairs, and Ichigo has no recollection of when he was brought back to said clinic while unconscious. It's kind of amazing how often he, and Aqua have been in each other's presence, and either not known about it, or been too shell-shocked to process the fact. ]
I think you did okay. But, uh, do you want to come in?

...Hello. Sorry about that.
[She scratches her cheek, a little sheepish due to the stare. One day, she will get used to just teleporting close by and walking. One day. ...and yes, it is rather amazing that neither of them had noticed. Now that she's close by again, Aqua's beginning to sense that presence and finally put a name and face to it.]
If it's alright. [It's a far cry from her once attempting to break into the Tremaine estate thank you, Fairy Godmother, but at least she knows it's more polite to ask for permission to enter than just barge in.

Anyway, Ichigo shrugged, and turned around, waving Aqua inside. ]
I wouldn't have told you to come by if it wasn't alright.
[ Duh. He's also not standing on ceremony, and heading back upstairs. ]
Come on, then. Though, I think Rukia said you ended up here during that whole craziness of the sky going dark, so I'm not sure how much you've seen already.
