Seventh ★ [Video] - Forward dated to Sunday, 1:30am
[He's been quiet for a while, and he was still drying off again from coming back when a mask appeared on his face in place of his blindfold. Though, that didn't worry him have as much as what he'd just seen...]
...I go "home" for a while and things go to hell again? Figures.
( Private to Isa, Demyx and Axel )

[ Oh good, this guy was starting to get a little worried because he hadn't heard from his bud for awhile. It was good to know he was still here. ]
Sure am! But... where have you been?
Reply
[And they weren't courteous enough to actually, you know, let him stay there until you woke up.]
[So have someone knocking on your door, Sora.]
Reply
Sora was about to open his mouth to say something, but the knock on the door caught him off guard. Brb, opening it now to see who it was. ]
Hello-?

But anyway, you have a wolf sitting on the other side of the door, tilting it's his head to the side- wait, was that Riku's...?]
Down here.

Well, now that the voice spoke up the male jolted a little in place before-- oh hey there-- ]
Huh? [ Okok, he was use to talking animals, but talking animals that sounded like Riku?
Yup. Thiiis was a little new. ]
Riku, is that you?
Reply
But seriously, he nods and tilts his head to the side, obviously favoring one limb. He's not even back for twenty four hours and not only has he been in a fight, but he died and got reincarnated as a wolf. Go figure, right?]
Yeah... One of the city's curses, no doubt. [He's cut up a bit, and has a burn mark on his left hind leg. Obviously it was a fight with a fire wielder.] ...Can I come in?
[B-before the madness finds him again. Oh Light, the voices...]

Riku looked pretty messed up, so you can only guess that this one was going to get to the bottom of it! ]
... Hey, what happened? [ A finger gently glancing over to the bruised leg. CONCERNED BRO IS CONCERNED. ]
Reply
He yelps, grimacing. Ow... Careful there, bro. It hurts.]
Insanity happened. [He forces himself to sit up, though it ends up more as leaning on one side than actual sitting.] Axel's Somebody, Lea- [...Was that a growl at the mention of Lea? He's pretty sure it's a growl.] Something's happened to him that's made his fear take control of him. I tried to talk him out of what he was trying to do, but he lost it and attacked me.
[He's silent for a moment. To think... 'yesterday' for him he was just telling the King he may have to fall so he could help Sora, and here he was getting help instead. But... he had no where else to go right now.]
...I would have been killed if Axel hadn't jumped in when he did, but that isn't even the tip of the iceburg.

Axel's Somebody... [ Now that was something he hadn't heard about yet, but whatever the case he wasn't exactly giving Sora a good first impression. For now, he just had to take care of the wounds. That first, questions later. ]
Heal! [ It was a soft spoken chant, but within the moment the cure spell descended upon his friend. Hopefully that would help a little with the injuries. ]
I'm glad Axel was there to help you- [ Heh, at least someone was... ] -but what else happened?
Reply
Don't hold it against him until after this week's over. The Lea I knew before wasn't like this. [Scared as hell, weak, and well acquainted with the feeling of uselessness, maybe. Fearful of his own shadow, not so much.]
...Sora. [He knows that tone far too well- it's the same one that always taints his own, lately. Hope you don't mind him resting his head on your lap as he looks up, trying to make eye contact.] Don't. Just don't start.
['Don't start blaming yourself for what someone else did.']
Reply
But to really attack you like that? [ So unsure. So. Unsure.
He was going to open his mouth to say something, but the sound of Riku's voice after that caught him a little off guard. Oh, he knew that tone alright and he wasn't pleased with it. ]
... I'm not starting anything. [ There just might be a little pout after that.
He can't help it! You're his best friend, after all! ]
Reply
He's living in his fears to the point it's madness-inducing for those around him. [But there's a faint growl in his voice. He wants to bite the idiot for making him break down from his fears. Some of which... he was facing right now, in a way.
Have a halfhearted glare.]
You're blaming yourself for something, aren't you? [He knows, Sora. And it was his stupidity in telling Lea not to attack you that got him in this mess.
He's just worried for you too, best friend.]
Reply
... Sounds rough. Is that because of the weird things going on right now? [ Y'know, like the fact that a dog showed up on his doorstep.
Annnd now this is where Sora goes a little quiet. He doesn't want to say that is is blaming himself, but it was almost too obvious to even to say.
He's worried about you too, bro. ] ... I just don't want to see you hurt like this.
Reply
Yeah. That's what Isa and I believe, but it still doesn't mean it's easy for anyone close to him. [Wolf, Sora. Wolf. Not a dog. :|
Bro, follow your own advice even though he technically hasn't heard it yet. Think positive because it's weird as hell being the positive one of the two of us.]
It's just a small burn and some scratches. You know Xehanort dealt worse than this. [Have a wolf smirk. So long as he was in control of his mind, he'll be fine- oh, speaking of. He has a lightbulb moment.]
... Don't get near Mini-Axel this week. His aura... it messes with your head and drives anyone with any fear insane.
