[It's late Friday night, a little before midnight. Quite close to midnight, actually. Someone's restless.]

This whole thing with the harpies got me to think. Has anyone ever--

Huh?

[Roxas' train of thought is apparently derailed by the appearance of someone offscreen.]

"RIIIIKU! Where'd you go? Okay, you won, now come back! This isn't funny! No

[ ....A VERY KIND THING TO SAY except Little Sora would have none of it. No One is cooler than Riku - that's the problem after all. Gosh golly gee and darn it all.....

As to which was the result: freaking him out or impressing, well, both is most accurate because on the one hand Sora thinks that's kind of NEAT and on the other hand Sora is like ummmmmmmmmmm and having very vague and not very committed memories of his mom saying not to talk to strangers - which of course only gets uh usurped by the amendment of: but she never told me not to talk to strangers who know my name already!

Faulty logic in 3, 2, 1... ]

Oh so you do know him!

[ Riiiiight, Sora's doing that thing where kids just pick up on bits and pieces, you know, the ones they want to. ]

And yes. [ Sora says 'yes' so definitively, says it with his chest sort of puffed out if that's even possible at this age and his shoulders squared - or what he figures is squared, because he's proud that he's best friends with Riku. Eeeeeeven if Riku tends to kind of make him really

<3!

[ Here Sora pulls a pout at the very thought, not offended at Riku's reticence even at their young ages but maybe a little miffed, yes. However on the subject of Roxas, from where Sora is, he thinks Roxas is swell. He's nice and easy to talk to, from his perspective, and it shows in the way Sora doesn't pause when he converses, just kind of goes from babble-on to babble-off with no awkwardness in between. ]

Dunno for sure, but I think sometimes... [ He gets a little conspiratorial here, whispering way too loudly to be actually secret but this is how he does, well, at this age. ] ....sometimes he thinks it makes him look more grown up or something. [ Sora shrugs then. He doesn't mind overall - Riku is older, okay, though he thinks it wouldn't hurt Riku to smile a little more, seriously. ]

[ Roxas isn't the best at reading people-in fact, he might not be the worst, but he's pretty far down the list. But every passing thought Sora has is so clear on his face. He's just...innocent.

And even as he's smiling a little and just going along with the situation as best he can, he can't help but wonder: why are they enemies? How could they be?

Was Xemnas wrong the whole time? ]

Uh huh. [ He leans down a little. ] Want to hear a secret, though?
