[ He blinks at the sudden breeze whipping by and that... more or less... confirms his suspicions about what this could be about. He smiles a bit, a hand coming to rest on his hip while he tilts his head some. ]

So you want to ask Aqua to marry you, is my guess, right?

[ He nods, smiling just a little more to himself before he comes to cross his arms and sighs. Sorry, Terra. ]

Well, as a fellow Master, I know there's... certain rules you have to follow. One of them being to challenge the Master they study under. You know, sort of like asking for permission? If you defeat them, permission has been granted and you're deemed worthy. But...

[ He trails off here, looking really super serious and thoughtful. ]

Aqua's Master isn't here and since I'm the only other Master around... I guess that means you have to fight me.
