here. )There was the stairwell. Kairi couldn't help but smile to herself as she rounded the corner and spotted the familiar hallway, still shrouded in darkness like she remembered it. She could see down the hallway and slightly into the Sun Room from where she was standing, and she lowered her flashlight, not wanting whatever it was that

Sora was surprised that Riku was questioning going outside of all things. Not that his friend questioning things was out of the ordinary, but Sora would have figured the other boy would have wanted to get a breath of fresh air, or just get out of the building in general. Then again, maybe he'd already made it out earlier today...
When Kairi started to give an answer (not a direct one, but she was still explaining some important stuff), Sora nodded to reinforce what the girl was saying. "Everyone seems pretty sure it's Earth, yeah." Not that Riku would have heard of it; Sora certainly hadn't until he'd gotten here.
"Anyway, Riku..." Sora glanced back to his friend and gave him a serious look. This was important. "It's not that simple. I told you this was about working together, so first we're going to go to the shed out on the field to gather some weapons, and then we'll be heading for the basement to check that out." The second part might actually help to find an escape, but Sora wasn't entirely sure of how it all worked.
As for Kairi's question, Sora put a hand to his chin as he thought it over. If they were already going to be out on the field, then it probably made more sense to jump the wall into the courtyard and then head into the cafeteria from there. That would ensure that they avoided the Sun Room, at least. There might be something else waiting for them outside, but they'd just have to wait and see.
He realized that taking his two friends into the basement meant putting them in a lot of danger, but Kairi seemed set on it... and this was probably the only way to ensure that Riku agreed with the plan, too.
"Anyway, are you guys ready?" he asked, putting both hands on his hips as he leaned toward them. They'd spent way too long talking already, so he hoped that Riku wouldn't keep arguing with him about it. Or that they could at least discuss the whole thing while they moved.

He said nothing to Kairi's statement, a silent sense of determination sweeping over him. For as difficult as it could have been, Riku kept Sora safe. In the end, he failed to completely protect Kairi multiple times, but this would have to be different. Continuing to fail would only cost her more than her light. If it got to that point, he didn't know if he could handle it.
"I guess I'll see how things go this time," he said, moving to stand beside Kairi more firmly. From the action, it was probably obvious that he would be firmly planting himself next to her for the rest of the night. "But I make no promises for tomorrow." Going out to get weapons seemed like it would slow them down, but Sora's assumptions were right: he wouldn't mind getting outside. But getting out there would likely be disappointing. The only air he wanted to have greet him and his friends right now was one that smelled vaguely like the ocean, wrapping around them and enveloping their senses fully. That's what he wanted to experience, not anything this place could offer, with how its edges seemed to be tinged with Darkness.
Riku nodded toward Sora, indicating that he might as well begin to lead the way. But Riku planned on paying attention to his surroundings, in the circumstance that he needed to handle any of this on his own.

The Activity Shed was where they were heading, correct? Kairi mentally thought about where it was, remembering having been there once before. At least it wasn't far away.
Quickly picking up Rukia's sword, Kairi led them back the way she came, figuring it was the easiest way outside.
