With less HTML fail [Ventus isn't one to give up training either. Especially after that guy - Roxas! - got the jump on him when he first came here. It really upset him he more or less got shoved aside and beaten down. How would he beat Vanitas or Xehanort if he could get beaten by someone like Roxas? Okay, so he knew nothing about Roxas, but the principle was the same!
So he decided to go to the training hall, figuring he could find some way to train there. And low and behold - Riku. He remembered this guy from the ice cream shop and he watched him for a bit, waiting till he finished to interrupt. Cause, you know, he did not want to accidentally get beaned with a bamboo sword.]
