Hey, it finally looks like it's warming up around here! Does this mean winter's over for good? I hope so.

[There's a metal squeak and a wet sloshing sound, and another noise like a handful of raining pellets dropped into a second tin pail.]

Hey Roxas? You around? Meet me and Xion by in forge in...uh.. Hey, how long you think it'll take to get these

[Somebody sounds like she was a little distracted.]

...Huh? Did I hear my name?

[myownmemory]

Um...we were just wondering...

If you'd like to come try something we're making?

[lethechained]

....

Mm. Okay. Sounds like... fun.

[myownmemory]

The candies taste a little like sweet chalk.

[lethechained]

Chalk? Huh. That's a funny idea. Mm, I guess I'll find out what that's like soon enough. Thank you for inviting me.

[myownmemory]

Xion says this is the kind of thing to share with friends.

[lethechained]

Does she? [Friends? ....]

...Hee. O-okay, then.

[myownmemory]

If you want, I can come back over when we're almost done and walk you.

[lethechained]

...!

Please, don't go out of your way for me. [Because she needed to talk to him about what she happened to see on one of those candy hearts, and something else-- but why ruin this? It could wait until tomorrow. But if they were alone, who knew if it would slip out? ...Even if it was a nice offer, and one she otherwise might have accepted.]

[myownmemory]

A walk is good exercise! It's warm out and nice for a change.

Besides, if I'm coming for you, you are my way.

[lethechained]

--...

[...She could keep her mouth shut, right?]

...Okay. If you're sure it's no trouble.

[myownmemory]

It isn't any trouble. Just...hang on, till the mold starts to set.

Then I'll be right back for you.

[lethechained]

...Alright. I'll be waiting.

[It's another hour or so till he shows up for her, hoping the ice creams won't come out too terrible. He'd left Xion to her blizzard casting.

It was getting hotter as the day went on, and so the sweatshirt had come off, tied off around his waist, just the sleeveless undershirt beneath it.]

Sorry...if that took a little longer than we expected. Didn't know candies could be so tricky melt down smooth.

[Action/Commentlog]

[lethechained]

[She greeted him with a little smile. She'd stayed with her usual outfit, thin as it already was, but was seriously considering going barefoot. Sticky, slide-y sandals were not fun.]

Mm, no problem.

[Action/Commentlog]

[myownmemory]

We made sea salt ice cream.

[He announced upon seeing her, because he really couldn't hold back the surprise any longer, not with the stupid we-know-it-isn't-perfect-but-we-gave-it-a-go-anyway grin spread telltale across his face.]

It's not the best but maybe it's sort-of close?

[Shrugging, he help open the door for her, then trotted down the outside steps, stretching widely at the sun and the faint sweet scent on the air. And then he was off, chatty to fill the space between them, and much more talkative than Riku tended to be. His replica has turned out a little more...exciteable in general, over time. Probably because he reveled in the life he was finally living as his own.]

Xion says it's what friends share....Roxas said so too, last summer, when we were on the islands. We had ice cream and there was a summer festival. There were fireworks. Like colored shooting stars!
