.. Namine. It's .. really good to see you.

[somnolently]

Roxas-- it's so good to see you, too. How... are you?

[oathskept]

I'm -- I'm okay. [looks like he wants to reach out or do .. something, but he doesn't know what, so awkward Roxas is just a little awkward] You're in Template, by the way. And .. don't worry about Marluxia and Larxene. I won't let them try anything.

[somnolently]

[ and naminé is just as awkward; she almost wants to give him a hug, but doesn't know if it'd be appropriate. ] T... Template? That isn't a world I've heard of before... and thank you, Roxas. I feel safer, now.

[oathskept]

I hadn't either, before I got here. It's .. not like other worlds. [before he even realizes it he's taken a step or two towards her, so .. why not. he gently pulls her into an awkward teenager hug] Their bark is a lot worse than their bite, here. It'll be okay.

[somnolently]

I... um, I guess it isn't. [ a little surprised by this, but gladly gives him a not-as-awkward hug in return; she's very, very glad to see someone so familiar. ] Is it really? I won't... let them find me, so it won't matter.

[oathskept]

[once she returns the hug he relaxes, a little, becoming less awkward about it, though he steps back after a moment anyway] Yeah. I mean, the full Organization isn't here, so they can't get away with nearly as much. .. [smiles a little] Good. If you need a place to stay, let me know. I'll, uh, help you look, if you want.

[somnolently]

[ lets her fingers linger momentarily on his hands before taking them back to herself. ] Yes, you're right. [ smiles in return. ] Riku says that he has some room for me-- so it's not needed. Thank you, though, Roxas. For the offer.

[oathskept]

.. he said that, huh. [the hint of disappointment in his voice should say it all - but he doesn't even notice it.] But, uh.. that's good, I guess. No problem, Namine.

[somnolently]

[ immediately feels pretty cruddy after hearing Roxas' obvious disappointment, and a frown momentarily slips onto her face. it's not as if she can reject riku's kind offer. ] I don't want to be a bother to him, though... so I'll likely be looking for my own place to stay soon enough. If it wouldn't be a bother, maybe, um. You could help me with... that?

[blinks at her, surprised in this sudden change in mood, and immediately casts back for something he could have said that may caused it. when he realizes, he immediately looks a little flustered and apologetic.]

I didn't mean- It's just that I, uh-

[oathskept]

[pause. takes a deeeep breath to get rid of some of his awkward and smiles faintly at her offer, raking a hand through his hair]

Heh, sorry. Sure, Namine. I'd like that.

[somnolently]

[ sort of smiles at him, a little. ]

I, um. Didn't mean to upset you.

And I'm glad.

[oathskept]

You didn't! I was just.. it's nothing. But I'm not upset, don't worry.

[somnolently]

Oh, um-- okay, Roxas. If you say so.

[oathskept]

[quiet sigh.] Really, Namine. It's fine. As long as you're safe, I don't mind where you stay.
