[quote=@ShadowVentus] As he looked around, Ventus spotted Anna, slightly relieved that she was able to endure the pain. He had no idea just how badly it hurt her, however, for during the seemingly endless four hours of pain, he had recalled his countless training sessions with his uncle. They had been demanding, but he lived up this uncle's expectations each and every day. He decided to try and talk to her, stumbling towards Anna's location. "Hey, Anna..are you alright?" He asked, genuinely concerned about how she was holding up. [/quote] Anna tried to smile, though she failed miserably at it. "I think I'm okay. How about you?" She took a couple of stumbling steps (apparently she didn't have good muscle control yet) in Ven's direction and put her arm around him lightly. To change the subject, and to distance herself from the memories, she asked, "Am I doing this right? This being a friend thing?"
