She felt some relief as Xion confirmed she was uninjured, and a bit of pride that the girl had picked up the barrier spell effectively. The use of a dark corridor to escape was less favorable, but Aqua was not about to chide Xion for taking a familiar course of action when she was so unsettled already. "You're safe now, and that's what matters."

Ven's heart was in the right place, as it always was, but the way Xion tensed up again at his outburst led Aqua to address him softly. "Ven...." It wasn't a scold, simply a caution to calm himself some. She understood his fury; indeed, she'd be a liar if she denied her own anger at the Foreigner who would aim to kill at innocent lives.

Briefly she pulled back, to look Xion in the eyes. "Is there anything we can get you? Something warm to drink?" She brushed a strand of hair out of Xion's face.
