Closure [Second City]

[iamaman_punch]

All that could have been explained had been explained. Not all questions had been answered, but that was the way of magic sometimes - it didn't have to be explained, or it couldn't be explained. Words only went so far. All that was left now was the choice - whether they would stay in this city or return to their own.

But before that...well, there was something to be said for goodbyes.

For Aqua, the choice was also very much a given. As nice as this world had been, and as nice as it had been to see Master Eraqus again, as well as a Terra that hadn't been trying to actively kill her, there were still things that needed to be done. She was the only Master she knew of, now. She couldn't run away.

She could, however, afford to spend a moment talking to a few people before leaving. No one had said anything about needing to leave right now, after all.

They hadn't always entirely agreed, but Linkara had to admit that he did still admire Aqua; there were only so many people he knew that could kick that much ass with a sword, and she was a pretty decent person on top of it, as well as stubborn - she probably had to be to keep Terra in line.

Hands still in his pockets, he walked over and stood next to her. "So. Made your choice yet?" He was pretty sure of the answer, but there were worse ways to start a conversation.

As he might have been expecting, Aqua nodded at the question. She couldn't deny that Chicago had been a nice enough place, if one could look past the various monsters and other inconveniences. Nor could she deny that it was more than a little tempting to stay and safeguard the people of the city she'd come to at least somewhat understand. But while she could have stayed, there were things that need her at home. She still had to deal with what had become of Terra, after all. She wasn't going to leave him to that fate. Not when she had to believe there was still something of him in the vision she'd been faced with.

"There's still things I need to do back home," she offered, to back up her nod. "It's been nice here, but... I shouldn't ask them to wait any longer."
