Hey Squall, have you come up with anything since the last time...? Just curious

[thoughtful sigh]...I knew it. Knew it wouldn't last.

Guess we'll see each other in the next life...again.

[insert sounds of a thrown journal hitting the wall]

Axel.

[...Dude. Dude. Apologizing for things like that is like saying "Sorry I couldn't make it the the hockey game guys, I just learned I got terminal cancer!" It's no issue, my man]

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

...yeah. I can't find him.

[ooc: Thanks.]]

[There's a sound a little like a snort. Aros won't admit it, but as Nobodies don't give off that much darkness or light (plus they don't have pulses) unless they use the Corridors they're very hard for him to track. Because of that, he's not even bothering to offer to try to find Axel]

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

[didn't really expect Aros to offer anyway] So is it true? Kairi's really gone too..?

[Voice]

[way_to_midnight]

I can't hear her heart [Pause, and then, because it's Roxas and he'd understand what he means -- Kairi's heart is pure light, so it's natural to Aros has an in-bred fear of it] or feel it.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

[makes a noise, half-curious, half-understanding] I see. That just leaves you me and Sora then, doesn't it...

Yuffie?

Re: [Voice]

[perplex_me]

...well yeah, Yuffie too. But I meant from our world. Wonder what that means.

[Voice]

[way_to_midnight]

...You and I don't have a world.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

What about this place? We're almost free to exist on our own here, don't you think?

[Voice]

[way_to_midnight]

Yes. [He said as much to Sora the other day. Though he was 'born' on Hollow Bastion, Aros feels more like this is a home. But not this world, per se, but more of--] Flonne is my home. [Flonne, the person who defends him and his friend]

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

...I don't have a home.

[Voice]

[way_to_midnight]

[The silence here is enough to make a pin drop. Aros, who has always thought of Roxas as better off than him on the whole, is claiming he doesn't have a home. For some reason, this both... makes him angry and makes him feel bad. However, he does comment with...] Sora. Yuffie. Axel. Namine.

[And then, after a notable pause--] Me.

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

...Naminé and Axel, both of them left me without warning, and Sora's gone enough that it's almost empty. [pauses himself, almost thinking that last bit over] Though you're right, you and Yuffie are still here. But even then, you have Flonne.

[Voice]

[way_to_midnight]

You are me. We are Sora. [His voice gives a certain... reverence to this fact. It's almost like he's suggesting that because they're both part-Sora, if they try, it's possible for them to have many friends. He thinks for a bit, and then he loosely throws out another terms, which is strange but seems to fit--] Brothers?

[Voice]

[perplex_me]

[well that one caught him off-guard. Always had this impression Aros would rather he not even be around, so sounds a bit surprised] You me and Sora? Think so? It does make sense, doesn't it...
