Yes, I'm back. No, I didn't die. I didn't leave the city. It doesn't matter now, but if anyone could tell me what all happened these past few days...other than those dark monsters...I'd be grateful.

Prince, Konan... Maybe you two can fill me in? Ada, can I talk to you too? You didn't think I'd forget to say hi, did you?

Oh. And I didn't forget. Happy Birthday, Naminé.


[Private to Terra]

I'm sorry about the other morning, running out. I need to talk to you...about what happened to me, and about something else.


[Private]

I don't understand. Zexion told me I'm important still, but it's fine for them to lock me away? At least I made copies of those notes. I should have been more careful about them. I'll lock them here next time and burn the papers.

He acts like I'm nothing, or like I'm just a kid. Then he's thanking me and asking me to help him...

Why do I feel like this has all happened before? That look in his face was just like...

I guess you could say that, yeah.

[rechaining.livejournal.com]

...Mm. [Quietly, and sadly.] I'm sorry I couldn't get you out of there, Roxas. If I hadn't been sick I would have...

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

It wasn't about you being sick. No one can get in there unless they're in the Organization, and even then... Xemnas has the final say.

Last year, Axel kept me out of there. I couldn't go in, not ever.

[rechaining.livejournal.com]

That's... I guess I shouldn't expect any less of Xemnas. But I'd of at least tried. ...Do you want company?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

It's annoying, yeah, but if I could put up a ward on my house, I would.

If you feel okay, sure. I'm at the chicken pen.

[rechaining.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates.] I learned a small barrier spell on the Other Side. I'm just afraid to try and use it. But I can try, for you.

I'm feeling better than I was last week. Give me a minute.

[It takes her awhile, but she emerges from a Corridor a while later. There's rings under her eyes and she's still a bit pale. But other than that, she's looking much better.

Only she's not smiling, because she's been worried sick. Instead she hugs him without a word, and lets out a quiet sigh.]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Nah, don't worry about it for now. I need to settle somewhere. Maybe Buon Viaggio.

Okay.

[He glances up when she comes in, surprised at the hug, but he returns it anyway, holding her close to try and warm her as well as cheer her up.]

It's okay.

[She sighs deeply, and pulls back enough to look at his face. Worry and relief and a million other emotions reflect in her eyes before they're gone; leaving only the relief and worry.

Then she averts her gaze.]

....I know.

[He looks into her face, then frowns as she turns away.]

...What's wrong?

[rechaining.livejournal.com]

I don't like it when bad things happen to you. Or anyone I care about, but... I can never seem to be able to help when they happen to you.

[action]

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

But it's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault.

[action]

[rechaining.livejournal.com]

I still hate it when bad things happen to any of you. You're so strong for the rest of us, Roxas. I'd like to be able to help you as much someday.

[She smiles a little bit.]
