Warnings: None yet.


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

"Yes! I would like that. Even if I can't use a keyblade. Maybe I can help in other ways." She didn't want to be a liability while Terra was fighting but be able to assist him. The fight against the bear made her realize how weak she really was.

He wanted to tell Namine that she could help by staying safe if a keyblade wasn't going to be in her future. But he was wise enough (having dealt with Aqua regarding matters like this) to keep his mouth shut.

Terra shrugged. "I don't know..that magic you did with the animals really was impressive."

[really_sketchy]

"Yeah but it manipulates people. I don't want to do something wrong. I'm worried Terra." She looked up at him with a brief frown. "I don't want to hurt someone I care about again." She didn't know when there was a right time to use her abilities. Her own moral compass didn't exactly make it clear.

"I don't want to hurt you."

[orangewayfinder]

He shook his head and put his hands on her shoulders. "I don't think you would hurt anyone on purpose." Namine seemed to be sweetness and light, and quite the contrast to himself. "You came to wake me up in the darkness, remember? You know you didn't have to do anything like that."

There was no way Terra would let her forget that about herself so he smiled. "I know you won't, I trust you."

And that was it really.

[really_sketchy]

His palm was warm against her shoulders. "Thank you Terra." She lifted her chin and met his gaze. "I'll make sure I keep fighting but I'll be good. I promise." It was a difficult thing for her but she felt like she could keep her promise if it was to Terra.

He always saw the good in her.

"I'm lucky to have you by my side."

[orangewayfinder]

He was still confused at her promise to be good. And Terra wasn't sure what she needed to keep fighting for. He could protect her and keep her safe..this was just along the same lines of thinking that used to get him into trouble with Aqua.

He smiled with a nod. "Ill keep you safe."

Until Namine wouldn't let him anymore.
