[Voice] // [Video]

[onlytwilight]

[The video clicks on to the heavy panting of a certain direwolf. Roxas is laughing softly and the wolf is whimpering, pleased.]

Good boy. Come on, get it. One more. Go... get it!

[There's the sounds of splashing water and an even louder howl several moments later, followed by the boy's voice again.]

Good boy. Give. ...Come on, drop it. Drop it. Oro! Oro, come here. ...That's it. Good boy. Very good. Drop it.

[Just that quickly, Roxas gasps and the wolf lets out a loud and threatening howl. The communicator drops. The feed clicks to video, showing Roxas at an odd angle on the sand and what looks like faint lights in the distance.]

...Wow. So this is what it looked like. It's -

[He pauses.]

Oro, come on boy. Come on! [Roxas disappears from the screen, the wolf barking but staying close to the communicator. The blond comes back only to grab the communicator and turn it off.]

... Home.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

...Back to World's End, not really home. I'm sorry.

[goregasm]

No. I think Naminè and him see it as their new home. After all, home is where ... your friends are, right?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

It's not your home, but you're welcome there with us. But...it's not like we have somewhere else to go.

[goregasm]

Am I?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

She wants you here, and I don't mind you.

[goregasm]

... Mm.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Words, Riku.

... I lol'd.

[goregasm]

I don't know that she wants me here all that much, anymore.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

She told me you upset her. Just think about what you say before you say them, maybe?

[goregasm]

I do. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells and still nothing comes out right.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe you need to be there when I'm there.

[goregasm]

I don't exactly think you want to babysit me, Roxas.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Better that I see how you act once and see what upsets her. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding on both your parts.

[goregasm]

It probably is, but ...

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Just think about it.

[goregasm]

You're busy enough, aren't you? Without dragging my weight around and doing me favors.

I'll work on it.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Think about it. One of these days Sheik will break my legs because I'm working too hard and I'll have to take a vacation.

[goregasm]

... Sounds like him. Also doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Sheik is not breaking my legs and I'll take a vacation when I've resolved some things.

[goregasm]

[ Chuckles. ] Relax, I was kidding. And as far as resolving things, it wouldn't kill you to spread the weight around. There are people willing to help you.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Most of it are my own problems that I need to deal with.

[goregasm]

... That sounds familiar.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately.

[goregasm]

Then why let it happen?
