This whole ordeal was bringing back memories and he didn't like them. While he hadn't ever heard of who had really killed his father, somehow this was bringing back the memories of the day he'd heard of that, when Al-Cid had broken the news to him and Princess Ashelia. His father and his brother Vayne had been trying to protect him for so long, but they were both gone now, Judge Gabranth as well. All of them had died in the line of duty. And then he had been torn from Sir Basch's care. Now he was being offered the chance to make sure someone else stayed safe... and so far he had failed in that.
He wouldn't allow it to happen again.
As Sora made the suggestion to move inside, Larsa nodded, glancing down at Namine before moving to hold the door open. If he could do nothing else right now, then he would do something as small as this. He only wished he knew what she needed.

She let the others guide her indoors, wishing she knew something to say that would assure them all that she was all right. Or at least...something that would let them know that she wanted to be alone. That was what she really wanted, wasn't it? She was surrounded by her friends, and she knew they cared about her and wanted to make her feel better...she just didn't know how. She didn't know what she was feeling, if anything. It was kind of like what being an ordinary Nobody must be like.

Once everyone was inside he spoke up and said, "Namine, I know you just went through a lot, do you wanna go get some rest before you talk about it? Someone can stay outside your room, just in case."

But on the other...Namine looked very overwhelmed. The Keybearer had to make a visible effort to keep his seething emotions under control. Running off now wouldn't help her. "Do you want the hot chocolate, Namine?"
He wished that he could go find Kairi...if there was anyone that Namine needed now, it was her Somebody. She'd know just what was wrong with Namine, and better yet, she'd give her the confidence to explain what it was.

Jeff frankly doesn't feel suited here. He did want to be sure that Namine was safe, and he's accomplished that. He wants to speak at length with Sora as well, but it seems there are better tasks right now.
The task of being a friend.
With a polite cough, he makes himself a little more sparse inside; he isn't leaving, but he's going to give Namine and her friends space. He offers an awkward smile before heading down the hall a little.

For now, he wouldn't pressure her, but neither was he going very far. So he stood out in the hallway, a little bit away from everything and tried to think of something, anything, else he could do.
His attention was caught by Jeff starting to walk away and he headed over. Perhaps the other boy had information on the kidnapper. "It is good to see that Namine has so many friends other than myself."

"Um...if it's all right...Sora, everyone...I think I'd like to skip the hot chocolate." She hesitated. "And just go to bed."
She looked down at her toes, hoping they wouldn't be disappointed in her.
"I'm sorry," she said to the group at large. "And thank you." She waved without looking up, and padded away through the foyer
Passing Jeff, she paused and glanced at him. "That man Seymour is...is a very bad man," she told him with a slight tremble in her voice. "So...be careful."
Leaving the others behind, she went on toward the elevators.

"No need to be sorry Namine. Go get some sleep, and we'll be here if ya need us."
Once she left in the elevator, Goofy turned to the others and tried to figure out what to do next. He had a feeling that the others were eager to discuss what happened and figure out how to respond, and he felt much the same way. Hurting his friends was one of the few ways to truly upset the knight, and he wanted nothing more than to stop anyone from hurting Namine again. Still, at the same time Goofy knew that planning wasn't his strong suit, and as a knight he had a more important duty to fulfill.
Turning to the others he said, "I'm gonna go and stay by Namine's room in case she needs anything. You fella's let me know what you decide, okay?"
Reply
"Sounds good, Goofy," he said to his friend. He trusted the knight to look after Namine right now. He turned back to Jeff and Larsa, trying to think of what to do next. He really wanted to just run off and teach Seymour a lesson right now...but he figured he'd need some kind of plan first, if Seymour was as dangerous as Namine said.
"You guys still want that hot chocolate?"
