[The feed of the PCD suddenly clicks on to show a very sad-looking Sora sitting in his and Riku's bed. Given the situation he should be at least a bit happy because one of his best friends went home and wasn't stuck in Adstringendum anymore, but he couldn't help it. He was a little bit selfish and wanted all of his friends here, not just some of

I'm really sorry. Are you going to be alright?

[Sora's about to tell the woman that, yeah, he was going to be just fine...but then he looks at her and his eyes widen. He's suddenly wiping at them, as if that would remove any trace that showed that he was crying.]

I...I y-yeah, I'll be okay.

[He's now staring at the woman. She was so...pretty.]

Who're you?

[infinityviolin]

[She lifts an eyebrow subtly, curiously at the way he stares, but her smile is gentle and earnest enough.]

I'm Michiru. You're Sora, right? [She lurks on the network quite a bit.] I'm sorry about your friend. I met her once, when she was here before. She's a lovely girl.

[He doesn't mean to stare, really! He'd just never seen a girl so beautiful before, well, besides the princesses he'd helped, but other than that? Nope.]

Yeah, I'm Sora. Nice to meet ya, Michiru.

[He smiles at the compliment to Kairi.]

Mm, she's the best, but...she's home now. She's safe.

[As long as he kept telling himself that, he could feel better about it.]

What about you? Do you have friends here?

Re: [Video]

[infinityviolin]

[Oh, Michiru would be flattered beyond anything to hear that. :3 She's the senshi of elegance and grace, though: it's her job to be pretty.

Well. That, and protect the solar system.]

I do. I have three very good friends here, and I'm lucky to have them. You're not alone now, are you?

[keytothekindgom]

[She does her job well! However, she's fallen off the horse a bit with that defending the solar system part, hasn't she? Being in Adstringendum kind of gets in the way of that.]

Alone? No! I've got Riku to always be with and then...um, I've met others. None as close as Kairi, though.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Are you a princess?

[Video]

[infinityviolin]

[Hey! She still protects her princess. That's important, right?

His question actually surprises her.]

I am. How did you know?

[Video]

[keytothekindgom]

[That was very important, so good job on that, Michiru!]

I guessed.

[He smiles at the woman.]

All the princesses I've ever helped were beautiful and...well, you are too.

[He laughs a bit awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.]

[Video]

[infinityviolin]

You've met a lot of princesses, have you?

[He's adorable. Michiru is thoroughly charmed.]

[Video]

[keytothekindgom]

Yeah! They've all been really nice, too.

Are there a lot of princesses where you come from? Or is it just you?

[Video]

[infinityviolin]

[Well - she figures it can't hurt at this point, not really.]

No, I know lots of other princesses. We're strong, though. We don't just sit around in castles all day.
