Where: Shiva's Temple

What: Well Eraqus was a zombie in the event. Terra is not doing too good right now
Warnings: Talk of death? Possible flashbacks?

[There was a gym on the first floor, sure, but Terra needed to be outside today. He moved a few of the apparatuses, grabbed the Urashima-like practice sword he'd found in one of those weird shops, and hasn't been inside since then.

He'd moved that all out after dinner last night. It's now around lunch time.

Terra may not be doing all that great.]

( When you have problems but you don't know how to talk about them... truly a god and shinki pair for the heavens. He's listening though, doing his best to understand what he's being told. Even if it's just a simple explanation, it's still a lot to find out. But Urashima is a simple spirit and when he's told that something bad happened, his imagination doesn't wander or anything. Terra's words are fact enough for him and he accepts them easily without additional thought. )

But you didn't know at first. So you thought they were good? ( This is what he's gathering. ) When did you realize it was bad?

( Before or after he killed his teacher? It sounds like after but how long after. )

...around the time I killed Master Eraqus. He was attacking one of my friends [probably to kill Ven, and Terra can't forgive Eraqus for that, but he can't actually make himself say that right now] and I...I lost control. Xehanort had been encouraging me to use the powers of darkness, but I couldn't control it, and I...

( He's listening and when he hears Terra's voice begins to trail, Urashima teaches up with both of his hands to hold Terra's face. It's an extremely personal gesture but it feels natural for him. He's a sword and whether he remembers why or not, the most comforting feeling is being held. )

Sometimes good people do bad things. That doesn't mean you're a bad person and I think your teacher knows you're a good person too. He still called you his, remember? ( The first clue that this Eraqus person was important to to Terra was when he'd begged his student for help. ) That doesn't make things right or better because they're still wrong but someone who's sorry is better than someone who doesn't feel sorry at all.

( Hmm, he feels like he isn't explaining himself very well at all. He's no good at these heavy emotions. )

And you might not be able to fix everything but you can make sure things are right from now on, right?

( And his voice lilts, going up, as he does his best to cheer up. And now he's just going to clap Terra's cheeks twice, like, it's going to be okay, sad earth turtle, and he grins, )

Mmm, I'm not very good at this, heh heh! ( An embarrassed laugh, sorry, Terra. ) But if you're sad, I'll help you get better. As long as you keep me, I won't let anyone hurt you or your friends! And I'll make sure you do the right thing.

[The cheek-clapping is a surprise, but it's really hard to not smile at Urashima when he does that. He's such a good kid.

And he is not going to end up like Ventus, Terra will make sure of it.]

That's probably about all I ask, really. They're my issues and you never met any of the people I'm talking about. Though if you ever run into someone named Xehanort, just run the other way and try to get a hold of me, okay? I don't care if he's a shinki or not.

[minogame]

--They're mine too! ( Terra's problems are his problems now. ) And promise! I'll look for you right away.

( If he's ever in trouble or runs into this guy, he'll find Terra right away.

But it looks like Terra's cheering up some so he skips back, )

And now you have to let me help you, okay?

First things first! We're going to clean up! If you want to train, you can train later but you're going to eat and take a nice long nap.

[earthshakin]

[...he could argue with him but really, the kid's got a point.

He chuckles a little]

Alright, alright. Whatever you say, Urashima.
