At least this fight was more or less just for fun - a practice spar, if you will. That was the way Ven was looking at it, at least, and they'd certainly had plenty of those in the past. And the preclusion of magic and magic weapons meant that neither of them would cause the other any significant harm without something going really bad. So, overall, it really could have been worse.

He was even feeling pretty optimistic about his chances here, given that Aqua was primarily a magic user. Not that she couldn't or wouldn't use physical attacks, light no, but that was her strength, more than himself or Terra. And while she was very nimble, he did have an edge on her in speed - he just didn't know if it was enough of an edge to really make this work like he wanted. But he stepped into the ...fight area, weighing his own bat (it really was lighter than he preferred, he definitely wouldn't argue with that), more or less feeling okay with all of this. "Ready, Aqua?"
