[voice] A time to start over

[attheclocktower]

[She probably should have done this a lot sooner but... to tell the truth it's taken this long for the wound of Reno's departure to not be too raw. But now some of the edge is fading, and she needs to be practical. She's never going to get better like this.]

Up until recently I was training with someone how to fight, but... he's gone now. So... I was wondering, is there anybody who can help me train? I can fight hand-to-hand, and also I can... I've never found anything like it anywhere else, but I think it's most like a sword in other worlds. I'm trying to learn to fight with it a little differently too, so... I might not be as good, but I want to to get better.

[Meaning her bad hand is useless for pretty much anything still, and she hasn't had much chance to practice one-handed keyblade wielding]

Anyway, thanks.

[She pauses, then adds]

Oh... Shion, if I find anybody, do you want to come as well? [Er...] I'll ask you if I see you too.

[He's been more or less... avoiding her since their little incident a couple of months ago, but he knows that sooner or later he's going to need to face Xion again. They have to do more than just talk occasionally.

So,]

... I can help you if you want.

[The familiar voice makes her heart twist, for more reasons than one]

Really?

[The word is out, hopeful before she can stop herself. Despite... despite everything that'd happened just over a month ago, he's still her best friend and she didn't like avoiding him.]

That'd be great.

[It's nice to hear her voice again...]

Not like I've got a Keyblade or anything, but we could always figure something out, right?

[She giggles, a little sheepish, but still happy]

I just want to practice fighting Axel. It doesn't have to be with Keyblades or anything.

[She can... actually fight not too badly without hers]

voice;

[flared]

Hmm... We could try some hand to hand stuff like you mentioned.

Who knows? With a little more practice you might end up to be almost as good as me.

[She giggles]

Better be careful. You won't be able to push me around anymore.

[Hey, if he's gonna tease, she's gonna tease right back. That, and it's easier than thinking about the last time they fought - which was actually fighting, not just sparring or training or anything like that]
