The Things That Bind Us [ Action | Closed ]
Ventus sat out on the balcony of the apartment he was sharing with Aqua in loose shorts and a t-shirt. It was not quite the window seat he had back in his own room (if you counted your bed as the window seat, which Ventus did), but it was close to it. He looked up at the 'sky' of Marina, wondering if he would ever see a real sky again. He had only been here a week, at most, but still - it felt like a long time with all that water pressing down at the ceiling and the sides. Even with stars at night and a sky in the day, he could never quite forget where he was - and perhaps justifiably.
He reached into his shirt and tugged out the green star-fruit shaped pendant Aqua had given him. He kept it with him at all times, whether in his pocket or in his shirt, it was always somewhere near him. It brought him comfort when he was separated from his friends, and probably more luck than he could say. It had brought him back to Aqua, even if the, uh, place of their meeting was not the most encouraging.
He turned around and poked his head back into the apartment.
