[Action / Video] Day 94 - That Foolish Me

[notquiteanobody]

[Hi Ruby City. Take a look at that. The video image you're seeing is in one of the resting rooms of the clinic. Seems like someone's been out of the loop for awhile considering the indistinguishable groaning and grumbling that the microphone's picking up. Finally, the image somewhat jerkily pans around before a pretty beaten-looking Roxas comes

[Action] Finally getting back to this

[notquiteanobody]

[As much as he ached, as much as he'd aggravated injuries he should've just been letting heal, Roxas frankly had no intent of taking the rest of this visit laying down. It was awkward and frankly, it really had put him in a bad mood to see her walk back into his life as she had. Yet what happened, had happened. Just like back then when she'd made a choice for him and sealed their fates -prolonging the time before he had to answer to his own by only a few days; days that he would spend feeling oddly out of place as he lived a life that was entirely a lie. Just as he'd come to terms with all of that, so too was he willing to just try and put her choice this time behind them.

The important thing was that now, she was here and he was here... all they'd need is to somehow have Axel show up again with sea salt ice cream and they'd be set for a storybook reunion. It was a notion he somehow couldn't even bring himself to chuckle at because of not only how absurd that possibility was, but just how he knew it wouldn't be that simple. Things were never that simple for them.

He was just turning his attention to Xion when he noticed the way she seemed a little less than willing to give him much of a glance anymore. And it was about then that things clicked for him -well, all the wrong things clicked anyway. With how she tended to worry about things, he figured she was probably upset and while he had no proof, he wouldn't have put it past her now to somehow blame herself for the fix he was in. Well, that was something he'd need to take care of before it got out of hand.]

Uhm... sorry about how I look right now. [Roxas chuckles somewhat awkwardly.] I really hadn't planned on getting worked over like this.

[Action] Progress is progress /o/

[That was the most important thing, wasn't it? That despite the hardships they had been through. Despite one trial after the next, they were finally together. At least them. It would... admittedly have been even better had Axel been there with them, too. But nothing ever worked out just like that for them. All they could really do was take what they could get and hope things wouldn't fall through, right?

Still, she wasn't entirely lost to his feelings. She couldn't exactly erase that kind of reaction from her mind. It was a memory that... while although it made her all kinds of uneasy. Made her false heart ache, it was something... she wouldn't forget. A memory she would hold to and... keep in mind.

But for right at that moment, it was something dropped on the backburner. Because, well- There was just something about the situation and how he... And then he was- What?

She looked up at him, appearing startled and blinking awkwardly in turn to that chuckle.]

N-No, it's- It's not about... Well, it is a little, but not... ...You don't have to apologize. It's... [She cast her eyes away, no longer being able to hold her gaze at the sight of him- Now that she had noticed that, it was hard not to let her eyes wander a little. But... But it wasn't like she knew it was okay and w-well. Pushing herself to look up at him again. J-Just-look-at-his-face.] I-It's alright. Just...
