Aqua would readily agree that it could have been worse. But that didn't really mean she particularly wanted to fight Ven. Oh, she'd still give it her all, and likely no surprise. It just wasn't what she'd really wanted to see for the first fight in something like this.

"Ready when you are," she answered with a nod. Neither of them really knew what to expect in this (or so Aqua would guess), but there was nothing for it but to simply try. After all, standing around second-guessing herself wasn't going to be interesting for anyone. There was, after all, a fight to win.
