[Riku hasn't been at home much at all recently. In fact, after the experiment he essentially stayed far away from his friends in order to get some space. And to think, of course.

Now? He's essentially done with his brief venture. Between what happened to Sora and Xion going missing, Riku's been sticking closer to home. Right now, however, he's out and about, searching for Xion. There's something they both need to talk about... that is, if he can find her.

Anyone is free to interrupt him, however, as he searches the village and the forest. She has to be somewhere...]

[ Riku, you fail at phrasing this in a way that inspires her with confidence. she still looks unsure. ]

Do ... are you sure you really want to...?

[Riku's not the most sentimental guy, okay. He's not under the influence of an experiment, either, so it's a bit more awkward.

He nods, though.]

I'm sure, Xion. I've had plenty of time to think things through.

[ blushing again. Riku, you can has sudden hug before she loses her nerve again. ]

[Xion, why so adorable? Fine then. He'll hug her right back. It'd be silly of him not to.]

[ oh god he's hugging her oh god yay. ;~; so much yay. finally Xion relaxes, sighing a little as she settles into his arms. she missed this feeling. ]

I'm ... really glad.

[It's niiiice. He doesn't have that same mindset now as he did then, but give him some time. He'll readjust.]

Good. That's what I was going for.

[...snerk.]

[ well, that's alright. it's not the same for her, either. as long as it's not one-sided on her end, she's pretty happy.

... but why are you snerking at me. she looks up at him, wrinkling her nose. ]

What?

[Then it's Xion's lucky day! It's not one-sided. Riku's just... Riku. And, again, adjusting.

In any case, he continues to smirk.]

Heh. It's nothing.

... [ makes a face, but doesn't say anything further, just sort of chilling out in his arms. it's nice, to feel happy like this ... but she knows it won't last, either. on that thought, her arms may tighten around him just a little bit. ]

[Which is fine. He's staying right where he is and will go ahead and tighten his grip a bit?]

You okay, Xion?

... I'm fine ... just thinking, I guess.

[ she pulls out of his arms, frowning thoughtfully ]

I told Roxas, you know. About the Keyblade.

You did?

[He pauses, thinking about this for a second.]

I'm proud of you, Xion. Sooner or later he had to find out.

[ pauses, a little surprised. despite what she says, she's clearly a little bit touched by the praise ]

There's nothing to really be proud of, though... I mean, I was going to have to tell him eventually.

But you got it out of the way instead of waiting until you have no choice.

[Point is, she was honest about it.]

... [ takes his hand, smiling a tiny bit, eyebrows knit. whatever happens, she's happy she has him to lean on, at least. ]

I'm still ... not too sure what to do, though. Roxas said he would find a way out of this, but... [ shakes her head. ] I don't know.

[He's here for her whenever she needs that extra support, too. And, here, he'll give that hand a squeeze. It's okay...]

We'll just have to take this one step at a time. Right now we don't even know what's going to happen. Not for sure, anyway.

... I know. But I've been through all of this before, even if Roxas doesn't remember it. [ looks down, her grip tightening. ] ... I just really hope there's another way.

We'll figure something out. There's no way I'm going to let anything happen to you or Sora.

... [ just smiles a little sadly and intertwines her fingers with his. ]

You and Roxas might have to work together... somehow, I can't imagine that going too well. [ a weak laugh ]

[Aw, Xion. Here, have a hand-squeeze.]

You've got that right. I could probably handle it, but Roxas still thinks I'm some kind of jerk.

[ gives a very small laugh, moving a bit closer so she can lean against him slightly ]

He'll get over it eventually, if I have anything to say about it. You're a good person. He'll have to admit it at some point.

[Fine with him. He just shrugs a little, because... oh Roxas.]

Somehow I doubt he or Axel will accept that. Not for a long time.

... Axel might be more okay with it than you think. It's really just Roxas I'm worried about. He can be so stubborn.

[ leeeaning, comfortable boyfriendo is comfortable. ]

Hehe, I guess all of us can be.

It'll take some serious work before Roxas gets over it. Not saying he's a bad guy; we just don't see eye-to-eye.

[But hey, he laughs at that last remark.]

Guess you're right.
