[Terra rubs at the back of his neck and turns away when Ven and Xion exchange kisses, grateful for the distraction as it helps hide his frown. Axel's not his favorite subject to discuss. He doesn't get to inwardly grumble about the man long, though: a second later, the sound of glass shattering cuts through him. He jerks in place and spins around, hand instinctively thrown out at his side to call his Keyblade. In an instant, he's ready to deal with whatever threat has... has... broken their drinking glasses and left the pieces scattered across the floor?
His eyes dart back and forth from Aqua to Ven and Xion... and back to Aqua. There are no monsters in the room. No fiendish villains, no Heartless, no Nobodies, no old men... just Aqua, Ven, Xion, and Oro (now hunkering down under the table).
In the silence that follows, Terra slowly relaxes, his hand closing and falling at his side.
Then realization sinks in. He's left blinking. What? Really?
He's not sure what to make of it. Some part of him... almost feels like laughing. No, that's definitely not the right way to handle things.
But he's got to think fast.]
Geez, Aqua... Watch the butter fingers.
[Terra abandons the doorway to step in front of Aqua, blocking their younger friends' view of her. He doesn't have to worry about the glass underfoot thanks to his metal-rimmed shoes.]
Why don't you go get the broom from the hall closet? I'll put Oro in my room... Don't want him to get glass in his paws.
[His smile is back and his voice is cheery as he tries to make light of the situation. However, his eyes are very much narrowed as he looks Aqua in the face.]
