She wants to get stronger; she knows that Roxas and Joe have been training hard, and she doesn't want to be a burden to them. She wants to help Ven and Aqua get Terra back. She wants to be as strong as she knows Sora is- after all, if she's his copy, why shouldn't she be?
It's daunting though. The last time she fought anyone...
She puts that thought from her mind as she makes her way out to the woods to train.]

"Fire!"
The basic fire spell is definitely weaker, and travels a bit slower, not so connected to the raw power of his heart. Even as it leaves little licks of scorchmarks along the edge of the trees, his dissatisfaction with it seems obvious.]

The small ball flies straight and true, ignites its target then fizzles out when the scrub has nothing left to burn.
She turns to Joe, not really sure how to instruct him.]
OK, so... try like that.

[He's never really wielded Soul Eater with more than one before- it feels funny, wrapping a second hand around the hit, pointing it overhead then forward, as Sora, Xion and Roxas would grip their keyblades.
It's awkward to slash and thrust, this way. But-]
Fire!
[The force of heat almost blows his bangs back, and he has to turn his face away, squinting.]

That's it! That was great, Joe!

I can't really fight like that. My Soul Eater's not at heavy as those Keyblades- Here, see?
[And he bravely turns the sword sideways and extends it in offering to her- it feels light as a shadow, forged from the heart's darkness.]
It's weird to hold anyway but up here-
[He demonstrates, holding his arm up at ready]

Well... I guess you don't really need to learn how to use Fire, because you can and you can use it well when you use it two handed. You just need to figure out when you can use it, and how to make it feel alright.
[She experiments with a few slashes, getting used to the weight.]

[His smile is sheepish, stepping back, watching her.
For a moment he finds himself thinking fleetingly of Sora, before him, Sora, swinging around that wooden sword just like a kid...
His head starts to hurt, feel fuzzy behind the eyes. He takes a knee, scrubbing at his eyes.
Maybe he should have slept just a little more.]

[Xion lunges too late, and ends up kneeling beside him, a hand on his shoulder.]
Are you OK? What's wrong?
Reply
[He admits tiredly.]
Reply
[She can't shake the concern from her face.]
You can't get sick.

No one could call you a lazy bum. You've been up all night, you're not going to get better if you're not at your best.

Alright, you win, I'll go home-
As soon as someone else shows up to practice with you.
Reply
[She pauses for a moment, then grins and reaches to tweak his hair.]
Don't worry about me, I can look after myself you know. I'm used to practicing alone too.
Reply
Okay, okay...I...I just don't want anything to happen to you. Xehanort and Vanitas are still out there somewhere- and Riku's right, we need to stick together more.
