[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.]

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.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

I'm not making it up. Ask Zelda if you think I'm wrong.

[todomarishi]

I'm not going to bother her with your childish claims.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

My... You don't even know the basics about direwolves! Even Wesker and Ada will tell you otherwise.

[todomarishi]

I'm sure.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

One of these days, I'm going to take that puppy away from you. He'll die the moment someone proves you wrong.

[todomarishi]

You've proven you're incapable of looking after your own well-being. What makes you think you could look after his?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

If I was so incapable, why do I still live on my own?

[todomarishi]

Living on your own doesn't mean you're safe.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Living in a closet doesn't mean I'm safe either. I'm well fed and I keep my strength up.

[todomarishi]

No, confining you wouldn't help. I see that now. But should you choose to pursue stealing the pup, you will be made to regret it.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Start treating him better than you're treating me, then we'll talk.

[todomarishi]

You had better learn your place and soon, Roxas. Your appearance won't shield you forever.
