I can't believe this. Sora's never beaten me like that before! Before he could barely stand up to me, now he doesn't just have that Keyblade of his, but he's faster?

Great. Guess he really is the lucky one.

People sure are asking a lot of questions lately, but I guess I can see why. We're all from different worlds; obviously things are going to be different. Few people have mentioned monsters, so I guess I'll bite; if you've got them in your world, just what are they like?

Also, Sora, Kairi. Think we can get going yet? It's not like anything's stopping us now.

[ooc: FYI, I encourage hacking, really. ;D It would be amusing.]

Nobody, but the fact that you're avoiding my question says plenty. [leans against the table and looks at him] Besides...you really thought I wouldn't notice?

Don't tell me you could read all that...

...well yes that too, but even before that. I've known you for ten -well, nine in your case- years. I can just tell.

Great.

[ugh, he sounds a bit frustrated now]

I take it you didn't just want me here to help with the raft.

Well no but it does help.

I just...[frowns a little bit. crap what exactly is she supposed to say anyway?] I didn't mean for that to slip.

Look, just... don't worry about it, okay? Like I said, it's not like anything can take that back.

And it's not like you can brood on it either.

Brooding? C'mon, Kairi. It's not like I'm used to Sora being this strong.

[there, he said it. B|]

The time difference is the only reason there's such a huge difference. You're just as strong when you're at the right place in the timeline, but right now there's nothing that can be done about making you 16 like you are in our world.

Sure, but as long as I'm here I'm not that strong, and if I ever leave? I'll just wind up working for Maleficent.

I have every reason to be frustrated.

Yeah well think about it this way. You have to work for Maleficent, Sora has to fight and avoid death all the time, and I'm left pretty much dead to the world until you and Sora meet again. Then in order to save us, you close the door to the darkness behind you and the King and Sora ends up left behind while I get sent home without either of you for a year.

Then to help Sora, you took on the darkness again and you hid from us Riku. We're your friends and you hid from us and even when we got home you weren't the same. You fought along with Sora and at one point you fought to save him and while that was happening I was back home again waiting!

...it didn't affect just you, it affected all of us. [there...she'll stop now. That might have been not-so-normal Kairi behavior but she's frustrated too okay? Damn timelines]

[...Wow, Kairi. If anything, that just shut Riku up. He's not sure what to say, much less what to think. Yay spoilers.]

[Again with being the bearer of bad news man. Kairi's pretty silent too though and she's not looking at him because crapcrapcrap why did she just tell him all of that?]

... That's just.

[pause. He doesn't get half of what she said, but.]

Sounds complicated.

Which is why we weren't going to tell you until later. It's a mess, but it has to happen.

Guess there's no avoiding it.

[sighs, brushing some of his hair back, then looking towards Kairi again.]

Doesn't make it any easier.

Didn't say it would.

In the end, it made us, all of us, a lot stronger but there were times I couldn't help but wonder.

I don't get everything you just said, but I can see why you would.

Yeah. But it works out in the end at least. We all get to go home and be together on the island again.

Somehow I doubt it'd ever feel the same back there.

Definitely not. But I think all that matters is we're together again.

You're right. So, I'd say we better get back to what we started here.

[subject changes are good, and he doesn't look as tense now, even if it's just given him more to think about.]

Right. Can you promise me something though?

Sure. What is it?

While we're here, don't let any of this get you down. After all, that'd just give me and Sora a whole other reason to take over.
