But...

Why? It was mine. That's how it should've been from the start.

[Who's pissed? Riku's pissed. He's tried a number of times. The Keyblade-- he had it in his grasp. Though he doesn't recall every detail as for why or how, that doesn't matter. The fact is that he did have it... only now it's gone

[Oh Riku...did you think that Xion wouldn't tell him what happened?

...okay so maybe not the details, but when a best friend's visibly upset and mentions the boyfriend's name, Roxas is going to put two and two together and set out to find the silver-haired boy. It takes him a while to get out to the lake after not finding him anywhere else, and he comes through the clearing of trees definitely glaring.]

Hey. Riku.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

[He doesn't turn to face Roxas; he can already guess what happened.]

Before you say anything: I didn't mean to upset her.

I was angry, and that's it.

[Action]

[perplex_me]

She didn't really elaborate on the subject. [He's just stalking closer anyway.] But maybe you can.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

[And he's not moving. Sigh.]

I was ticked because I lost the Keyblade, okay? I didn't think, and I guess the journal picked up what I said.

I tried to explain what happened, but she didn't even listen to me.

[Action]

[perplex_me]

...[There's a slight growl, sorry man.] She shouldn't have to listen to you explain something like that! Do you even understand what the Keyblade means to her?

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

I know what it means to her, Roxas. I know that it's the reason she had to die, and yeah, I can see why it'd upset her.

But I still have a right to feel this way.

[Action]

[perplex_me]

No, you don't! You don't get it, Riku! You can say that you know and that you can see, but you don't really get it. You're being selfish and really stupid about it, your jealousy is blinding you to how this effects everybody else, and that's the reason you don't have it!

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

Who wouldn't be jealous? Especially knowing that I'm its true master.

Yeah, it's selfish, but I can't exactly help it.

[Action]

[perplex_me]

Right. Because being jealous and selfish is going to get it to you faster. Man, grow up...

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

[...Sigh. Give him a second. He's just on the defensive because he's kind of expecting Roxas to lash out at any minute.

Then again, if he keeps this up, it'll probably make things worse. Right, right... let's not slip back to those levels of arrogance.]

It's just a pain. I know that if I got it back home it'd change everything. You and Xion might not exist.

But I want to get stronger. I've been trying for the past year with no luck.

[Action]

[perplex_me]

[As he should, because messing with his bestie is not cool.]

Might isn't an option. We wouldn't exist, end of story. [There's a brief pause though as he thinks this over.] Maybe you're not trying hard enough.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

Not trying hard enough? Hah.

Believe me, I've been trying.

[And... he actually turns to give Roxas a rather nasty look.]

[Action]

[perplex_me]

You've been trying, sure, but have you been trying to right way? Maybe you're going about it wrong.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

Oh yeah? Then what would you suggest?

[Eyeroll.]

[Action]

[perplex_me]

First of all, I suggest not being a jerk to somebody who not only has one Keyblade, but has two. [Just a flat look. You want to make this difficult, Riku? Really?]

[Action]

[stilldontgotit]

[Hff. Fine, have it your way.]

Okay, fine. Anything else?

[See? He's at least trying to be patient, but he's in a horrible mood.]
