[catchall] Aqua
I know(?) this isn't dark aqua but still

[smiles tearfully in making everyone else start the conversations
WHICH IS WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE AS WELL BECAUSE KANDA SUCKS... but at least she hasn't done anything to make him want to leave if she gets close, so she can find him sitting out by the water, meditating quietly. If she approaches, she'll see the number 2 on his chest through his clothes.
Also his hair is kind of stiff. Why.]

[ ALKSJDLKFJAS SHE CAN START THE CONVERSATION!!
but first we recreate that one scene in dgm where lenalee meditates with kanda. aqua seats herself quietly albeit a respectful distance away from him. (since she doesn't actually really know him like lenalee does.)
and!! a pretty decent amount of time passes, before she finally speaks up. ]
...It's a nice spot.
[ what did he do to his hair... did he get his head dunked in a barrel of old grape juice ]

[Yeah he went Diluc diving
No he just washed his hair with soap. He's too nerfed to fix it :(
He doesn't seem to mind her company, though; actually, though it's impossible to tell with the Ice Queen over here, this elevates his opinion of her. People who can be calm and quiet...]
It's quieter than downstream.
[Where presumably people are bathing or. Idk. Catching leeches. Filling buckets for shenanigans.]

[ i'm still dying over diluc diving
also i hope kanda and ashlyn are besties... their mutual aversion to noise...
she smiles a little. ]
...I don't know that anywhere completely silent exists, here.
[ even empty buildings are always carrying strange noises at any given hour. ]
Do you find it helps to be alone...?
[ she can't exactly relate, but she tries to understand anyway. ]

[The introvert-friendshipper divide this game is so funny
He glances at her.]
Helps what? [The answer is probably the same regardless, but he's not sure if she means meditating specifically, or just. In general in life]

[NOT JEDI EXPY HELOFKJHKG
But, ah. He nods.]
Yes. [In answer to both her questions]

Yes. [In answer to both her questions]
[ she nods, too. ]
May your heart stay unclouded as well. ...It seems we'll be here for awhile.
[ they'll need their wits about them. she doesn't have to loiter around him too long if it seems like there isn't really anything he wants to say to her, but she does want to at least properly introduce herself. ]
—Ah, I don't think I caught your name last time. I'm Aqua. May I ask yours?
[ (she probably already knows, she's been to the bulletin board a few times. but... she will be polite.) ]

[Oh. He... appreciates that, actually--the way it reminds him of someone else important, even if he wouldn't admit to that. He doesn't soften, exactly, because he's still. Y'know. Himself--but he does seem calm, much more than he normally is, at least in public. He even dips his head slightly in acknowledgment.]
Kanda. [...] I heard they said two months.

[ kanda... it really is like befriending a stray cat... 🥺 ]
Two months... I guess it isn't the longest amount of time to wait.
[ some ink appears on her arms, forming over her sleeves: There's no way back.
she ignores it. ]
...Not the longest amount of time to break a complex spell, either, but we'll have to manage.

[Yeah!!
Kanda also ignores her ink, beyond a brief glance when it appears. Not important!! What's important is:]
You know spellwork?

[SPARRING CR IS TRULY ALWAYS THE KEY TO MY CHARACTERS' HEARTS. Except Kaveh I guess but you don't need a key for that
He thinks for a moment.]
Can you fight hand-to-hand?
He thinks for a moment.]
Can you fight hand-to-hand?
[He thinks for a little longer, then nods.]
Either one is fine.
[She has permission to find him if she wants to spar... congrats aqua!!!]

Tonight, or tomorrow morning. I train every day.
[So he will be here!! AND YEAH WE CAN HANDWAVE HEHE frees us from this thread so we have more strength to beat up yuul]

[HELP NOT THE SHEEP!! At least he likes Aqua (well. for him) enough that between that and affection week, he probably didn't put up too much fuss about coming here. But that also means she gets to deal with it as he just stands awkwardly, letting sheep bonk into him.]
Does someone live here?
[WHO IS TAKING CARE OF THIS FARM.]

[ (kanda voice) she doesn't suck. but yeah they were just conveniently accosted by sheep while they were innocently wandering the ranch grounds, oops teehee ]
It doesn't seem so... All the houses were empty, too.
[ one of the sheep tries to chew at kanda's clothes, and aqua tries to gently steer it away. ]
I didn't think the animals here would be so friendly.
[ like, the crows and leeches in comparison............ ]

[It's true... she meditated with him? Properly? That's as good as it gets in his book
He watches this sheep chew on his coat and kind of. Pats its head. What the hell do you do with a sheep. Do they play fetch.]
Are we supposed to eat them? [Surely the magic didn't just manifest a petting zoo, thinks Kanda, who has never enjoyed anything in the world ever
(I'm kidding) (kind of)]

[ heH.
also wow. that's a very valid question. for a long time i debated if kh characters would be vegetarian but there's ratatouille cooking in kh3, so. ]
It does seem like they're being raised for that purpose.
[ BY... WHOMST... THE OG QUESTION STANDS. she'd feel so bad if they had to butcher any... ]
Though... I don't see anyone else around.
[ pets another sheep ]
...I think I'd rather try catching some fish from the ocean.

[HELP THE COOKING DILEMMA!! And then Izutsumi kills a cow on main and we all just have to deal with it.
But they don't know that yet. For now, he hasn't been inside the barn yet, so--]
Maybe I'll leave the rod out here.

[She did her best.]
Not really. [He says, allowing this sheep to demand more pats.] I don't see them much.
[They're like. Around. But he's usually busy...]
