Don't anybody worry. None of it could ever happen that way, not with all of us fighting back together. We've still got enough people around here who can put up a good fight, right? Between the Task Force, the Queensguard...the rest of us who could take a bunch of those Can-Toi and Taheen things. Nothing can take away anybody's Free Will if you don

[He's shying at the doorstep, even through his mustered bravery, and his eyes stray to the edges of the trees, a little bit anxious. It seemed a further walk than he remembered, but it might have just been the cold, to make it feel that way. Or the steady pounding in his chest.

Riqis nods, stepping inside, holding out the half-shell to her in offering.]

For you.

[Because he still isn't quite sure how to approach her, or what sort of sentimental things he should even try to say at all. He holds his voice low, unsure if Riku's inside too or not, but he listens for other presences at the Pagoda.]

It's a little spicy, but not so much. The coconut water makes it sweeter.

You sound better.

[He smiles faintly when she accepts the soup, rubbing his hands together to keep them warm and taking a seat across from her at the table. He sits, watching her hopefully, head ducked slightly.]

That's good. I'm glad. I think...the city needs more healers that know what to do for sickness.

[His voice sounds a little weak with anxiousness, though it softens and dips lower rather than straining high.]

Did Roxas give you the practice sword from me?

You've been growing.

[He notices softly, having watched her eat with a far off look, and realizes that he hasn't stood side by side with Riku long enough to measure up for himself.]

Oh...

[His face falls with dissapointment, and a little frustration- he'd asked his friend, after all. Maybe Roxas was just more serious about not getting in the middle of them than he thought.]

Guess...he forgot to take it along.

[The replica mutters, glancing aside.]

He's been sort of distracted. Ever since Chez Nobody fell apart, and everything with the Organization, that girl from Twilight Town, and now that girl Xion who he doesn't even remember.

I made a practice-sword for you. With the branches too small for fire wood.

[He gives her an odd look in return, squinting, but straightens his legs beneath the table in a stretch.]

Well...when I'm practicing hard, sometimes, yeah. But the cold makes you achy too.

[Why not personally? Well it would have, but...]

I...I didn't know if you'd ever really wanted to see me again. After all of that- And....I didn't want your birthday to be ruined by me messing up.

Roxas is always...he makes friends fast. A lot of people around here are his friends.

[He shrugs, looking down at his hands.]

I'll leave it for you here soon. Next chance I get. If he's still got it around.
