[Despite all the set backs, Ventus has come to his own in the days he's found himself living without a sense of touch. Heat and cold, the gentle touch of another hand against his skin-- none of it is there, anymore. It's like a piece of himself was left behind when he died, sacrificed to the abyss simply because something had to be; he finds he's okay with what he lost.]

[Because he also gained. Though he can't feel Roxas there, holding his arm, arm looped with his to stop the other from tripping over, he can feel the warmth of him in his heart, and that's what really matters.]

[But for Roxas, everything must be so much harder. He squeezes the other blond's hand gently, leading him down the street and towards the place that they'd been directed to.]

Almost there.

[On hindsight, Cloud realized he should have gone to pick them up. So he decides to meet them at the beginning of the street. Just in case.

Seeing them help each other down the street, Cloud relaxes just a fraction.]

Hey. Alright there?

[ Some times it's still a little hard not to jump whenever he hears a new voice, even after adjusting to his blindness the last few days. The others he's gotten used to since he hears them almost everyday, and Ventus is always a welcome presence to him, the warmth the other just radiates and the light that he can't see but feel. Their connection helps in that regard as well.

But hearing Cloud for the first time in a while makes him tense a little before it finally clicks that it really is just Cloud, the older blond that he fought with during he monster attack last week. And he relaxes, knowing Cloud wouldn't do anything hurtful. The opposite really. ]

Hey Cloud. [ Roxas stands just a little closer to Ventus, another small reassurance that he's not alone. ]

Yeah, we're good. Right? [ That last part directed more to Ventus than anyone else. ]

[It's been really rough on Roxas. Even walking here had been hard, each foreign sound making him tense and jump, and for Ventus, it makes his smile falter a little, every time. Roxas shouldn't have to be afraid of the darkness- shouldn't have to see the dark at all. He belonged in the light, with himself and Sora.]

[And Ven was determined to keep him here, as much as possible.]

Everyone's fine. You been okay?

[With all the events that have transpired lately, it's important to keep checking.]
