[ After a year's time spent of following orders and spending time on the clock tower with her friends only for everything to unravel so suddenly on her and then being thrown into a world where so much time has passed and she's not even supposed to exist, where her best friends are gone, moving forward... She does so on clumsy steps. Ones that know she shouldn't be feeling the air, she shouldn't be hearing her own voice or breathing in the faint scents from the town beyond the wall.
But she's there. And even if part of her wants to crumble in despair and another part is anxious to be near anyone, she silences those thoughts. Because running away from matters never changed things before. And she knows they won't now. She's been given a chance to redeem herself- and she knows she should take it. That it's only right.
Admittedly, most of his words are lost due to her wandering thoughts, but she does catch things here and there. About Aqua (why does that name seem familiar...?). And Terra. And... a change of clothes? Well... That would probably be a good idea. The last thing she wants is to attract more suspicion and questions.
Still, when he produces that portal she can't help but be unsure. It's so warm, the light, just like last time. She grips the air, realizing then that at some point, she let her guard down, that her keyblade had let up and vanished. And it casts a thoughtful shadow over her eyes. But she says nothing of it. Instead, she can only seem to give Ven another nod and then she's ducking into the portal. ]
THEN MAYBE I WILL. ONE DAY. /best life goal ever
