Aqua's home is Paris during her stay is protected by a Triple Life Aura Spell cast from her Master's Defender Keyblade's magic that repels Darkness & Evil (such as The Heartless).
NOTE: The Triple Life Aura is a reference to the Mega Man Battle Network Anime Episode: "Count to Three", in which NumberMan was protected by a Triple Firewall which was password protected & the only hints to bypassing the Firewalls was the number of Doves in the School, Tennis Rackets used by the Tennis Team & Potted Flowers in the Schoolyard that Lan Hikari had to count in order to disable the Firewalls.
Aqua arrived at her home with Urchin then entered the house with him. Here we are, Urchin. This is where I live. Aqua opened the front door after unlocking it to let herself & Urchin into the house, as soon as they were inside, Aqua closed the door. My home has an enchantment that I cast with my Keyblade which should protect us from the Darkness. You can stay for as long as you like. As soon as they were inside, Aqua touched a piece of armor on her arm & her armor was dispelled revealing the outfit she was wearing. That's better. Now we can see each other face to face.
Oh wow. It's very nice. Urchin said, awestruck by the new surroundings. Of course, he knew enough to know what a human house looked like. Aqua's looked pretty similar to others on the block, but it was still a more than perfect place for him to stay in Urchin's mind.
Putting his weapon on a nearby side-table, Urchin looked at Aqua after she seemed to magically change her outfit. "Thanks, again." He replied, noting that Aqua wasn't named Aqua for nothing. She had short blue hair and matching eyes. A unique combination for a normal human. "So uh..Is it normal for humans to have keyblades? How would I get one?" He managed to ask after an awkward silence. Urchin had many questions in his mind, and he wanted to help in any way he could.

You're welcome. Normally, when a Keyblade chooses its master, its chosen individuals are strong of heart, Urchin. I have 2 extra ones besides my Master's Defender. One is called Rainfell & the other is called Stormfall. Aqua then noticed that Urchin's skin was slightly irritated from the Dark Rain. She summoned her Master's Defender Keyblade and cast a White Magic Cure spell on Urchin to heal the irritated skin. That should help, Urchin. After casting Cure, Aqua made her Keyblade vanish, so that she may use it later when the time comes. Keyblades are shaped like keys as they operate any lock in existence and are imbued with magic and other unique capabilities. They are used in a manner similar to swords. Despite the fact that most possess no actual cutting edge & are shown to be particularly effective weapons against Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and Dream Eaters.
I can show you my Rainfell & Stormfall Keyblades later if you like, Urchin. But in the meantime, we should tidy up after that fight against The Heartless. I'll let you go first then I'll go second when you're done. Aqua walked with Urchin upstairs to show him the bathroom & got the things together. Have you heard of someone named Ansem the Wise? He's Sage King of Radiant Garden. He studied both the power of the Heart and The Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed report. Aqua turned on the bathtub and filled it water. After you get cleaned up, Urchin, I'll have some clean clothes waiting for you in the master bedroom. Have fun. Aqua left Urchin in the bathroom and closed the door to give the kid some privacy, then went into the master bedroom and got out some boy clothes that are Urchin's size along with a pair of underwear and laid them on the bed. Then Aqua went into the office where she began to work on making a Wayfinder for Urchin.
"Woah.." The names of Aqua's keyblades sounded impressive. Urchin was already so focused on his new surroundings that he completely forgot about his injuries. "Oh, thanks again, Aqua." He managed, feeling a lot better."Keyblades sound amazing. Maybe one day I can help fight the darkness, too."
After Aqua continued, Urchin nodded. "You're right. I am a bit tired from that fight." He said, stretching a little. He did his best not to get any dark rainwater on anything. Although, the protective barrier around the house probably got rid of most of it.
With this, Aqua led him to a bathroom "Ansem. I'm sorry, I don't know him."He replied."Is Radiant Garden your home? I haven't heard of that place, either." The things Aqua told him about Ansem were very intriguing to the young boy. Once she finished her explanation, Urchin decided it wouldn't hurt to tell her where he's from. "Have you heard of Atlantica by any chance? It's ruled by a King as well. King Triton." Unfortunately, Urchin couldn't think of things Triton did aside from ruling the merpeople. With this, he allowed Aqua to finish speaking and possibly answer his question. Once she left, Urchin had the bathroom to himself. He had seen one of these before at the Atlan household. A 'bathtub' they called it. He knew it wouldn't do him any harm to get cleaned up as he had done so before. When finished, Urchin dried off and wrapped a towel around him before taking the extra step to make sure he didn't leave the bathroom a mess. Finally, he went into the master bedroom to change into some clean clothes.

Aqua finished making a Wayfinder for Urchin then went to him and saw him wearing the clothes she gave him. I'm from the Land of Departure, Urchin. Its where I grew up alongside Terra & Ventus. We trained there to become Keyblade Wielders. Oh and by the way, I made you a Good Luck Charm. As for Atlantica, what's it like there & do you have any friends there? Aqua gives Urchin a Teal Wayfinder as present. As for Atlantica, she never been there before, but from the sounds of its name, it could be underwater.
Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit... and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You’ll always find your way back to each other. Technically, I think you’re supposed to make them with seashells, but I did the best I could with what I had. I have one of these charms too myself. Aqua then shows Urchin her Wayfinder Charm.
"Terra? Ventus?" Who were these people? Urchin had no clue, but they sounded nice enough if they were Aqua's friends. His eye twinkled with astonishment when she mentioned a good luck charm. However, the subject changed quickly. "Oh, well- uh." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"I was a friend of the royal family. Oh, and there was also Pearl & Gabriella." He explained, glossing over a few.. embarrassing details about his crush on Ariel. "I'm thankful I met them because they kept me away from a life of crime." Urchin averted his eyes and sighed. "I guess I was tryin' to help them out, too."
After he spoke, Urchin paused to let Aqua explain the tree with the star-shaped fruit and the wayfinders. "Wow, it's.. amazing." He looked at his wayfinder and then at Aqua's wayfinder in astonishment. "I guess this means we're friends, now." He finished, smiling.
OOC: Sorry for the late reply, I had schoolwork to catch up on.

Perhaps I can make you some to eat then I could show your bedroom that you could use while you're here, Urchin? Aqua went into the kitchen and got on her apron then began to make something. So, tell me about Pearl first. What's she like in Atlantica?
"Oh, alright.." It only seemed fair for Urchin to tell Aqua about his friends. However, it seemed forever since he spoke to either of them. "Pearl's pretty cool. I think she's around sixteen by now." He started, deciding to cut to the chase. "Anyway, she has a bit of a reputation for throwing parties in Atlantica.. I was invited sometimes, but she eventually warmed up to me when I stopped stealing food." He explained chuckling at the memory. By now, Urchin was already seated. He tilted his head in curiosity as he wondered what Aqua was making. "Speaking of food, what do you guys usually eat up here?" Urchin asked. Just like on the surface, he was aware that merfolk also had different cultures and thus different types of cuisine. 'This is the human world, it's probably something really different'

I'm making some sandwiches for us to eat, Urchin. What's Ariel's sisters like? As for The Heartless, I'll protect you from them. Aqua said kindly as she finished making the sandwiches. I made some turkey sandwiches for us to eat. Would you like something to drink with it? Aqua placed the tray with the sandwiches on the dining room table and returned with some water.
"Sandwhiches?" Maybe human cuisine wasn't so different after all. Such food sounded familiar to him. "Oh, Ariel's sisters are pretty kind. I used to play pranks on Attina and Adella." He bragged with a slight chuckle. "I never went too far, I promise! I only wanted them to have fun. And we all did once Triton started to let me come over to the palace more often." After Urchin spoke, he nodded in response and gladly accepted the water Aqua gave him.
"Thank you." Once the turkey sandwiches were placed on the table, Urchin hoped Aqua didn't mean 'turkey' as in the Zebra Turkeyfish. Luckily, the sandwich tasted nothing like fish at all. "Mmm." It seemed Urchin even took a liking to the sandwiches as well - already going for seconds when he finished the first.

Aqua sat down at the dining room I'm glad that you like it, Urchin. Aqua also had the second turkey sandwich that she made, and drank some water. Once we're done eating, I can show a bedroom that I have for you that you can use as well as one of my spare Keyblades? Aqua also thought, maybe both Terra and Ventus may show here one day considering what's happening to this world. Whoever maybe controlling The Heartless may have been consumed & corrupted by the darkness, someone possibly more worse then Xemnas & Xehanort combined. Urchin, have you heard of the Princesses of Heart? They're maidens with hearts of pure light, devoid of darkness.
*Time Skip: Evening* Aqua was making some pizza for dinner as she finished cooking. She felt something. As if someone far from France has awakened as a New Keyblade Wielder then thought. There has been an Awakening... That power, its the same as mine. Could it be that a new Keyblade Wielder has appeared? If so, then does that mean... Terra, Ventus and Xion are here too? And that's so, then does that also mean that the other Guardians of Light... Sora, Roxas, Riku, Kairi, Lea, Axel & Namine are here too?Urhcin, dinner is all ready and waiting for you in the Dining room.

*Time Skip: After dinner* After dinner, Aqua finished cleaning up the dining room. Urhcin, how was dinner? I think that I did a great job. Before I take my shower, can I show you a boys' bedroom that you can use? One of them is on the second floor. Aqua began to escort Urchin upstairs and showed him one of the boys bedroom on the second floor then giggled. It almost feels like that I've gained a little brother with you around, Urchin. I'll protect you with my magic. You can wait here in your new room until I'm done with my shower, then I can show you one of my spare Keyblades. And with that, Aqua went her bedroom, got out her clean clothes, then some towels & went into the bathroom where she closed the doors to give herself some privacy, stripped down, walked into the shower stall, closed the stall's door then began to take her shower. As Aqua was lathering herself with the soap & body wash in the shower she thought about her friends; Terra & Ventus, then while she was humming a lovely tune, she placed some shampoo-conditioner on her hair to wash it then let it sit for a while before rinsing herself off, little did she know that outside the bathroom window, Apollo's magic has reached the mainland, and pure rain clouds covered the night sky pouring clear rainwater with healing properties down, causing the Shadow Heartless that appeared in the Dark Storm to fade, freeing the corrupted people who were turned evil, healing the wounds of those injured in the dark rain storm & reversing any damages that were done.
*Time Skip: Monday Early Morning* Aqua woke up the next morning and stretched out then went to Urchin's room to wake him by opening the blinds his bedroom. It was nice outside, despite the purification rain caused by Apollo, the Sun God & the Sea King of Kyrandia's magic. Urhcin, time to wake up. Then last night, when Aqua was dreaming she remembered why she was returned to the Realm of Light.
*Flashback Scene* Aqua was wondering in the Realm of Darkness until a bright light approached her. The bright light revealed herself as the Goddess of Light; Palutena, she knew how much Aqua was missed in the Realm of Light & helped her Return to the Realm of Light, so she can find Terra and Ventus but warned her that her journey in this new world will be more difficult then the last but Aqua won't be alone this time *End of Flashback*
"You did good." Urchin nodded gratefully. "Gosh, that sounds like quite an honor to wield a keyblade, but I'm willing to try." He replied, suddenly feeling nervous. What if the light didn't choose him? He had once succumbed to the evil doings of Lobster mobster and Da shrimp. Sure, all they did was steal, but a thief and an orphan didn't have a chance in the world. Or so he was told. "Yeah. I think so. Before I left Atlantica I heard a rumor about Ariel. I don't know who said it, but it was mentioned that she - and maybe her sisters might be Princesses of Heart." He explained. Not long after, Urchin finished his lunch.
*Time-skip: Sunday Evening*
Right now, Urchin had just left the bathroom after washing up for dinner. A pleasant smell filled his nose. "That must be dinner." He mumbled to himself, heading downstairs. "I'm coming, Aqua!" He called back shortly before getting seated and surprised by the sight of pizza. Urchin had never seen such a food before. Once he had a slice, he bit into it - recoiling a little in response. "Oh! It's very hot!" Once it cooled he took a bite. "Mmm. I really like this. Thanks, Aqua." And that was Urchin's first pizza.
*Time-skip: After dinner.*
Urchin smiled. "I really liked it!" Replied, thinking that Aqua's pizza would easily become one of his favorites. "Yeah, that's fine." He allowed Aqua to escort him to one of the bedrooms. In the sea, Urchin didn't really have a place to stay, so the concept of his own room was very new to him. "Heheh, yeah. I guess you're right." The idea of Aqua being like a sister to him gave him a warm feeling. It reminded him of the Atlan sisters. It was nice to have that feeling of a family again. A feeling he had nearly forgot about. "I'd like that." While the idea of looking at - let alone wielding a keyblade was very nerve wracking, Urchin had the feeling everything would be alright. A calm, low rumble of thunder could be heard after Aqua left. In his room, Urchin curiously looked out the window. The rain clouds looked light and fluffy. Not scary at all. Curious, Urchin opened his window and held out his hand. While not accustomed to rain, this felt different somehow. It was soothing to the touch and something about it felt.. magical. Quickly, Urchin got up and searched his room for something to keep this rain in. Luckily, he found a small vial in one of the drawers. Urchin held it out his window to let it gather some of the rain. Once it was full, he closed it and lifted the small chain over his head so he could wear it around his neck. Urchin had a feeling this vial would come in handy later.
*Time-skip: Early Monday morning (right now)*
After gathering some of the pure rainwater last night, Urchin had likely fallen asleep in his room before Aqua had the chance to show him her keyblades. Thankfully, Urchin had gotten the best sleep in quite a long time. And he awoke to one of the first normal mornings since he had washed up on the human world. He still had that warm feeling from the rain making contact with the skin on his arm. In fact, Urchin was feeling rather energized for such an early morning. He got up and stretched a little. "Good morning, Aqua." He smiled a little. "We're you able to sleep during the storm?" He asked.
