[ With all the craziness that had gone on since she'd arrived, it took him finally hugging her for it to set in that this was the first time she'd seen him in quite some time. Something which made it easier for her to hug him back, the crackling lights around them only adding to the utterly relieved smile she was wearing now. ]

Of course I am. This isn't a dream. [ Sora had set off on his new mission alongside Riku and she hadn't really seen them for some time, Riku being the first to come back to get her and take her to see Yen Sid. So to actually see Sora in person was actually something she was quite happy about. ] I'm really here with you right now. This is real, I promise.

[ O h. It's not hard for her to recognize the look on Sora's face right then, seeing how close to tears he about seemed when he pulled back a moment before. ]

Yeah? It's good to see you haven't changed any since I saw you last. [ A beat. She'd almost forgotten about it amidst this reunion of theirs just now. ] I've been doing a little bit of training with it back home. It isn't much but soon i'll be able to fight and help out both you and Riku.
