Fokiri Village

((I just got a call saying it was cancelled crying ))

Sanvi ran forward to attack Aquaria. The angel stepped just out of Sanvi's path and chased her, trying to get in another attack. Both were oblivious to Garin standing in the middle of the clearing.  

[Cecily D Aria]

((from who?))

Garin stood back a little bit, anxiously. He didn't like seeing Aquaria in a fight, even if it wasn't real.  

[marixe alcyone]

((Connor's mom))

Aquaria gained on Sanvi and ran to her side, but Sanvi turned and put her fingers to Aquaria's throat, signalling her victory. They halted and turned back to Garin.  

[Cecily D Aria]

((dang that stinks...))

"Done now?" Garin asked, hopefully.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi turned and walked back to Garin. "Yes," she said
Aquaria ran back to Garin's side. "How'd I do?" she asked, out of breath but excited.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Good," Garin said, holding her face in his hands. "You did fine."

((now what am I going to do with the rest of my day...?))  

[marixe alcyone]

((Umm, homework? Watch House in Spanish? Play in 2 feet of snow?))

"Could use some work. You and me both," Sanvi said. She let her hair out of its ponytail so it fell down her shoulders in long tendrils.
"We should do this again sometime," Aquaria suggested.  

[Cecily D Aria]

((I don't know why they canceled, the snow on the roads has been pressed down around where I live))

"We'll see," Garin replied, not liking that idea at all.  

[marixe alcyone]

((She said not enough people could come))

"That was fun," Sanvi said. She walked to Garin's other side and clapped Garin on the shoulder.
Aquaria looked at Garin. "I might have to fight you next time," she said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

((oh, okay, that would make sense))

"Maybe," garin replied and let her face go.  

[marixe alcyone]

"So what should we do now?" Aquaria asked. Fighting hadn't really worn her out, so she was still a little hyped up.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Do you want to go explore the gardens a bit more?" garin asked.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Sure," Aquaria said. She hoped she could draw some more energy from the pools there. She started walking towards the gardens, with Sanvi trailing after her.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin took her hand and walked along next to her.

((I'm going off for a bit))  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria ran immediately to the largest of the pools and knelt by it when they reached the gardens. She closed her eyes and siphoned energy from the water.
Sanvi walked up a hill to a large sakura tree. She stood under its branches and pinned a blossom to her hair. She watched Aquaria like she would watch over a small child.
