[Roxas is looking right at the camera, a popsicle stick in his mouth. He narrows his eyes and sits up better.]

You know, Gods, it's a little hard to appreciate a gift when you don't know what it is. [Leaning back, he pulls something out of his pocket and produces it for the camera, holding it up as carefully as possible. Wouldn't you know it, but it's a small yellow object, much like a sea shell. He looks at it and twirls it in his fingers.]

Not really sure which one was supposed to be a joke. I've never seen this thing before.

[He removes the popsicle stick from his mouth and sets it on the ground...then shows the camera the sea salt ice cream magnet.]

Nice try. [He reaches out and turns off the feed.]

... You've never seen a seashell before?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe I have. I don't remember.

[todomarishi]

That doesn't matter. You've seen one now. Keep it with you.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I will.

What'd you get?

[todomarishi]

I haven't opened mine yet.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Afraid one will be a keyblade squeaky-toy?

[todomarishi]

Yes.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Funny. He'd like one of those. Why not just open it? What're you afraid it'll be?

[todomarishi]

I wouldn't. I have had enough trouble keeping him quiet at night as it is. And I'm not afraid.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Have you named him yet?

[todomarishi]

He's starting to respond to Dammit.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

...You're a jerk. And you're not naming him that.

[todomarishi]

Trying to guess at what I am now, are you? I'm waiting for him to make a name for himself.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

He's a puppy, he can't talk. He can't give himself a name.

And I'm learning you slowly. But don't call the dog 'Dammit'. That's horrible. Would you call a friend that?

[todomarishi]

That's not what I meant.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Then what did you mean?

[todomarishi]

He'll earn a name through his actions.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Because that's how everyone's named.

[todomarishi]

He's not everyone and neither am I. Why are you so concerned about him having a name?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Because he's your friend. You don't go around calling him "Friend", do you?

[todomarishi]

He's a Dire Wolf pup. Him being under my care doesn't make us friends.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

You have no idea what they are, do you? He's a part of you.

[todomarishi]

... Right.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

He is. He's bound to you now. He'll feel your emotions and he'll feel your pain.

[todomarishi]

That's very creative of you.
