[He knew it, he knew it, he knew it-]

We've been waiting for you.

Roxas.

[ Wild and deep, and almost growl -- it's his happy voice. ]

I am here.

[pullsheavendown]

[ It does not take long, the unmistakable form of a great shaggy lion bright amidst the trees.

He is waiting with a smile upon his face. ]

[ He chuckles softly and returns the gesture, the sound almost like a low growl, resonating in his throat. He is happy to see the youngster too. ]

I'm glad you didn't really leave us.

[This is the safest he's ever felt.]

[aslandish]

[ Aww, baby. He smiles. ]

I am never truly gone.

But it's better when we can see that you're here. [He strokes Aslan's mane gently.] Hard to do this otherwise.
