TRAINING

Naminé wasn't much of a fighter but after experiencing her trouble on the ice world she wanted to learn more. She had her powers but they were a little frightening to use. What if she shattered another's heart? Wouldn't that be worse than dying or melting? Somehow, this felt like it was better.

She was there through morning classes learning hand-to-hand from Bucky or whoever happened to be around. Naminé stayed off to the side and out of the way since she was really only starting to learn.

Some days, when there was space in the gym car, she used a long wooden rod and tried to emulate the way Sora or Terra fought. It was very awkward and a few times she ended up falling on her butt when her arm swung a little too wide. Naminé wasn't really training, so much as she was swinging around a practice stick and flailing.

No matter when you run into her, she always gets up and tries again.

DRAWING

In between chores, helping Madoka with plants and her many other attempts to help, Naminé can be found in the various cars drawing. She didn't have any more crayons or colors but she had pens and pencils, as well as pieces of paper. Her pictures varied between those she met on the cars and the creatures she'd seen in the snow world.

After the dream she began to draw bits and pieces from her memories, from those she saw and from other peoples memories though she didn't fully understand what she was drawing. Whatever it was, she didn't want to forget it and drawing was a way to immortalize or clarify her thoughts.

Whenever someone approached she glanced up and offered them a brief welcoming smile.

DAY 21 - CLOSED TO TERRA

The dreams had been startling for Naminé, reminding her of the castle and the choices she wanted to forget. She hadn't been a nice person then. She hadn't been malicious but she'd been lonely and stupid and she hurt people who didn't deserve to be hurt. It was a lot for her to face again and it took her some time to approach the one person she needed to speak too.

She stood awkwardly outside of his cabin and knocked on the door.

Hopefully he was there and alone.

Thoughts buzzed in and out of Naminés head in a messy fashion but she hoped, with all her heart, that Terra wouldn't turn away when he knows what she's done. Sora had forgiven her but she didn't understand why. Why should she be forgiven for all the pain she's caused?

Comments

"Hm, I wonder if we could acquire some? I will have to look into this further. Some colors for you too, I think!"

She smiles. "Oh, that's lovely. If you don't mind? You can always draw it again, if you prefer."

"Maybe. I've spoken to Lightning about it briefly but I think we need to see what worlds we come to. The last one we couldn't really go shopping or see if they have things but maybe the next world."

She really didn't know how it worked.

"Of course not. You can have this." Naminé carefully tore out the page and handed it over to her.

"It would certainly be nice to be able to look around properly!" Nerdanel agrees. "Not that I mind helping out, but it does seem a pity to visit a place and yet have no chance to truly see it!"

She accepts the paper with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Namine! I'll have to get it a nice frame, I think!"

Naminé inclined her head in a soft nod. "I think so too. Maybe the next place we'll get to see a little more though I did really like the snow." It had been the first time she got to experience snow and while it'd been cold, she'd enjoyed it over all.

Maybe more so now that she was looking back at it.

"You're welcome. If there is anything else you want drawn, please let me know." She wanted to make people smile, in her own way.

"I would have enjoyed in more if we had not had to fight!" She says with a wry smile. "But it was beautiful, was it not?"

She smiles warmly at her. "I will, and thank you very much, Namine. If I can help you in any way, of course, please do feel free to ask!"

"Me too." She wanted to learn to fight, to protect those around her, but Naminé didn't like fighting. "It was. That's why I never want to forget it."

Her expression softened and she inclined her head in a subtle nod. "I will. Thank you for everything."

[marriedanidiot]

"Take care then, my dear! I will speak to you later."

[really_sketchy]

"Thank you." She smiled again as her older friend left her to her drawings.
