[Aqua hadn't realized how bright everything would be, when she finally managed to make it out of the darkness. It's surprisingly hard to get used to, even after a few hours (mostly spent finding her way out of the less-restored parts of the world with one arm shielding her eyes, and unsuccessfully attempting to find someone who knew what had happened in her absence).
But now she's found a spot in the Marketplace, on some tarp-covered supplies, to sit down with some ice cream and enjoy the sun on her face for the first time in who knows how long. She needs to discover what's happened - to her friends, to the worlds, to this world, covered in construction equipment as it is - but without access to her Glider, some of those things are going to be pretty hard.
And with the fact that she's somewhere bright and (relatively) safe and bustling with other people, going about their business, well. Aqua can't help taking a few minutes of downtime.
Still, she's keeping an eye out for anyone she might recognize, or anyone who looks like they're not from around here.]
