The weather is starting to have a chill and white strands are appearing among Demeter's gold locks as she sits by the fire, staring into the flames and not paying attention to the Bar around her.

Tiny tag: Demeter

Comments

[aerora]

"Hiya, Demeter!" greets a cheerful Sora. "You okay?"

[wheatencrown]

Sora gets a wonderful smile,

"Oh yes, just thinking is all. How are you doing?"

[aerora]

"Munny for your thoughts?" he teases, before coming to join her.

"I'm all right. I've been hanging around the bar, mostly."

[wheatencrown]

"I haven't been here for a bit just enjoying the end of Summer at home. What have I missed?"

[aerora]

"Oh, not too much," he says, though his tone might imply otherwise. "How's summer at home?"

[wheatencrown]

She hears the tone first and gives him a big hug,

"What's bothering you?"

[aerora]

"Nothing, really," he lies (he's always been a bad liar). "B'sides, I kinda talked to Kairi about it. Though she suggested something that also makes me worry."

He shakes his head.

"I don't mean to dump any of this stuff on you, though."

[wheatencrown]

"I'm glad to listen and wouldn't have asked if I didn't care. Now come here and tell me everything."

There's even a chocolate pastry, don't ask too much how it got there.

[aerora]

He won't ask; all that matters is that there is a chocolate pastry.

Smiling a little, he slowly nods. "Well, just that a couple of these guys - the Organization - approached me a while back. I talked to Kairi about it, and now she wants to ... help me and Riku."

He pauses. "I mean, it's cool that she wants to help, but I'm just worried about her. It's kinda dangerous fighting the heartless."

[wheatencrown]

"She made the offer though. Does she understand the dangers she might face?"

[aerora]

"She says she does, but ... I dunno."

He just has no idea what he'd do if she were hurt - again.

[wheatencrown]

"Can you train her?"

[aerora]

He pauses.

"Well ... I guess that's a possibility," he says, "but it's not like I'm really all that skilled in battle either. I mean, I've got help from Donald and Goofy most of the time."

Bottom line is, he just wants Kairi safe and out of anything to do with battle.

[wheatencrown]

"And if she comes with you, she'll have their help too."

[aerora]

Oh, Dem. Stop making sense!

"... Yeah." He shrugs, attempting a smile. "I guess I just don't want her to have to go through what Riku and I do - we're both just trying hard to get home."

Pause.

"But ... in the end, it is her choice."

[wheatencrown]

"It is and you have to respect that. You can respect her and worry for her, but to not allow her to fight with you just isn't right."
