[ Aqua's out and about for the most part. There's a lot to look at, to see, and to do. While most of the time she's just browsing or keeping to herself, if someone needs help, she's absolutely there. Having trouble carrying bags? Trying to decide on an ice cream flavor or a meal? Not sure what ingredient would go best in your next dish? Aqua's absolutely there to help.

Alternately, she might need some help of her own. Some of these things, she's not heard of, especially where things like coffee are concerned. She does enjoy the cat café in particular, because the cats are so precious... but she's probably having trouble deciding on what to get. ]

[ Aqua hadn't expected to find an ice cream shop that carried such familiar ice creams. It's kind of jarring, especially considering she doesn't remember the last time she'd had the stuff. Things had changed so abruptly, she hadn't gotten the chance to return to Disney Town and have one last ice cream. And she certainly hadn't ever had the chance to share some with Terra and Ventus...

Funny, that something as simple as ice cream should move her in a way she hadn't expected. She has a cone of Royal Berry ice cream in her hands, and she's sitting outside the ice cream shop. There's an ache in her heart as she slowly works on eating it—and it shows pretty obviously on her face. ]

[ She's seen the ads—a clothing commissioner? While she's attached to her outfit, it's honestly pretty darn beat up. Aqua hasn't really spent much time concerned with her wardrobe, but here, she thinks she can spare a thought or several to her appearance. She's still unsure about the flashier stuff, so she'd like to opt for something simpler. It probably won't be much of an issue, since the owner seems incredibly talented.

So she's fiddling with her device, and when she finally gets a moment to sit down, she sends him a message. ]

Hello. My name is Aqua. Are you still taking requests for clothing?

[ To those who know her—which, here, that number is very low—it's not surprising to see Aqua in a library. She's always been a good student, and her love for books sort of blossomed from that. She finds comfort in being surrounded by books, and especially after all she's been through, she certainly needs it. Granted, Aqua has had a little bit of time to recover, to recuperate, but it hasn't been that long since she escaped the realm of darkness. And the memory of her battles before that are still painfully fresh in her mind...

Still, she looks pretty at ease, here in the library, with a bunch of books stacked in her arms. She's so caught up in finding more that she doesn't notice him until she almost runs into him. Aqua's appropriately startled, and she gives him an apologetic smile. ]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm usually more observant than this.

[ A lot of the technology here, Aqua isn't familiar with. Nor is she familiar with a lot of the music. She's the type to want to branch out, though, which is why she's browsing in a music store in the Near Shore. There are a lot of options that she's not even sure where to start, and that results in her browsing slowly and carefully through all the different genres. Aqua seems to be having some trouble deciding on what she likes the most... but the pop music isn't so bad! She seems to be spending quite a bit of time there, actually. ]

[ Honestly, Aqua doesn't think her temple is much to look at. Which is why, when she comes across the mansion nestled in the woods, she's caught breathless. It's pretty and quaint, and it reminds her of Snow White's world, in a way. Parts of it, anyway. Needless to say, Aqua's impressed, and she absolutely wouldn't mind spending a little bit of time here. Then again... this is someone's home, isn't it? She's intruding...

She's just about to leave when a silver deer approaches her and nuzzles against her. ]

Hello there.

[ Often, Aqua likes to spend her time walking around. Her shinki, as helpful as it is, isn't very excellent conversation. Oh, she's tried, because of course she has, but it's just not the same. There's something important missing, it seems, and it's equal parts unsettling and... sad. Very sad, quite honestly. Aqua doesn't know what she can do for her shinki, but she's quickly running out of ideas.

It's on her long walks that she thinks about what to do. They're usually later in the evening, her strolls, and she doesn't really see many familiar people. Except for tonight. Aqua stops as soon as she sees the hair, and, well. He looks familiar, somehow. Older, with a scar cut into the center of his face (and those golden eyes... it makes her remember another, one whose thirst for power had dragged him deep into madness), but she swears she's seen him in Radiant Garden before...

It would be rude to not greet someone she's passed by. So Aqua raises a hand, her head tilted to the side just slightly. ]

Hello.

[ It's pretty startling just how used to odd creatures Aqua is. At least, it might be startling and odd for people who don't come from her world, and those she's visited. Unversed, Heartless... they're old hat for her. Honestly, she's just thankful none of those have shown up here. It's a refreshing change of pace, but Aqua's a little restless. Things have been pretty quiet ever since she arrived, and— ]

Ah!

[ There's a chubby little... dog? Cat? That she very nearly trips over on her way back to her temple. To get there, she has to pass by Baldr's temple, which is what she's doing right now. Does it belong to this god? Aqua kneels down and holds out a hand. ]

Are you lost? Or is this your home?

[Well, Lilka definitely was having a problem, but it wasn't quite something as simple as eating ice cream or retrieving ingredients for dinner. Since she was still fairly new, it seemed like a good idea to wander around and get used to her surroundings, but...]

Um, excuse me? I think I'm lost.

[Oops.]

[Schuldig watches her for a little bit because he caught a stray dark thought and finally pinned it down to her. Then there she goes being particularly helpful to people... and oh look at this, she's a God. Not just any God, but a fellow Norse. Hah! What were the odds...

From a distance, he decides to call out, sitting in a bakery around the corner, further away than she can see while in the Cat Café.]

'Heimdallr, is it? Nice to finally meet you. I see some things really do change.'

[It's his natural voice in her head, but the moment she starts to realize he's nowhere in sight, he'll be relishing her confusion.]
