[Training on her own, without so much as one Unversed to take out, isn't something Aqua's used to. There had always been Ven, Terra, or even Master Eraqus now and then, to go against when she felt the need to brush up on her skills--keep them sharp. But none of them are here and she doesn't want to bother anyone else, so she improvises.
She takes a deep breath, closes her eyes a moment to aid her concentration, and remembers one of her tougher battles.

When Aqua opens her eyes again, dropping into a fighting stance, she can still see an image of Vanitas in her mind's eye. Their fight in Neverland replays in memory and she goes through the motions against an invisible opponent, correcting the mistakes she made back then along the way.
Aqua's movements are agile and easy, not affected by the instability of the sand on the beach. And while she's not near as strong as Terra, it's easy to tell her keyblade swings have fairly decent power behind them.]

[Y-yeah. Let's not get too much into that part. But I see that guilt. :|]

...That's not something you can necessarily help, though.

[.. Except now he seemingly had an idea, all of the sudden. Which knowing him, will probably end badly somehow]

... Can I... see it again?

[rainfelling]

[...I don't particularly have a good feeling about this, either. Hesitating just a little, but keyblade get o/]

[Well, things seemed perfectly fine so far. Then again the irritation didn't happen right away either. That's not to say he wasn't keeping his guard up anyway]

Hm.. so far so good.

[rainfelling]

[At least that's something. o/ She's ready to take action if that changes, though.]

That's good, then.

[Still going well o/]

... I doubt I can ever fix it completely, but if I can at least train to not act so aggressively towards it, it might help discipline other urges too.


[.. This is actually the only time there's been a controlled way to test this, too]

[rainfelling]

[Nodding a bit]

Good idea. Any progress'll help.

.. Ahhh.. but I guess you could go back to what you were doing, though. [didntmeantointerruptyou ;;;]

[rainfelling]

I think it was about time for a break anyway.
