A little nod, and she moved, getting into a position where she could sit with her back to the rest of the rooftop. It looked for a moment as though the nonexistent breeze was lifting the loose fabric that hung down behind her, that odd little cape attached to her dress... but the way it spread out around her didn't exactly follow. Maybe it was just how she'd moved, that spread it out, like when one shook a sheet over a bed, but done more subtly?
Or magic, for whatever reason she'd done it. Probably magic.
Also likely magic-related, the way the shadows deepened around them as she drew a long, slow breath, relaxing there. For all that she claimed she didn't exactly meditate... maybe she was defining it a bit differently?
It would take a moment, but the air did seem to finally move just a little, a faint trace of a lower temperature, barely noticeable, sliding past them on the roof's surface. If she were drawing heat energy from the environment, not just energy from the light, she was still holding back on how much she was taking all at once... but maybe it explained why she was hesitant to take it from somewhere greener?
Then again, how often did making things darker and colder ever hint at good things, in Aqua's experience? But different worlds... it was a puzzle, surely.
