As Roxas walked to the apartment he used to share with everyone, he couldn't shake the feeling that, somehow, tonight was going to be...goodbye. It must have been what Timon was saying...But what was Timon so worried about, anyway? What about "Hakuna Matata?" Wasn't that Timon's motto, no worries? He'd seemed so...sad. Thanks to that, Roxas wasn't looking forward to meeting Gwen and Simba as much as he had been when they talked on the journals.

The thought of finally calling on the Doctor made his stomach feel like a lead weight. Roxas didn't know what was going to happen...and how could he? Anything that might tell him was gone, and it had been for a long time. And...it scared him. If he got his memories back, was he really going to be that much different?

Before he knew it, the Nobody had arrived. He swallowed a lump in his throat, and knocked on the apartment's door, trying his best not to look as nervous and frightened as he felt. These two were his friends...they would trust that he needed to do this...right?

Gwen opened the door with a cheerful smile, though it faded a fraction when she saw his expression. "Come in, dear," she said, welcoming him through the threshold, then shutting the door softly behind him. This... was going to be difficult on the boy, wasn't it? She would do her best though. He deserved something.

She led him into the kitchen. "I went to see Simba but he was in such a deep sleep." She frowned a bit. "I didn't really want to wake him..."

She watched him for a moment, wondering what he needed, wondering if he would even ask for what he needed. She didn't want to push, but it was hard just leaving him. He wasn't alone in Paixao, she only hoped that he could see that. She turned away to take care of the meal. "I hope you're not a vegetarian, though I did make salad as well."

Roxas tried to smile back, but it was hard. He just...couldn't relax. Walking through the doorway felt like he was trying to push himself through an invisible wall, and when he finally broke through it was like something at the door had a grip on his...well...there wasn't a heart there for that something to grab, was there? That still...didn't make any sense. But he pushed that thought aside, as best he could anyway, and let Gwen take him into the kitchen.

Simba was sleeping...how like him. "Yeah, we should leave him asleep. Maybe I'll talk with him when I come back next time." There would be a next time...he promised himself that.

He forced himself to laugh, at least a little, at Gwen's comment about being a vegetarian. "I've lived here before, you know I'm not."

People can change in such short periods is something she doesn't say while she focuses on the preparations. Instead, she chuckles quietly and says, "I know, I know. Just checking." She looks over her shoulder and gives him a quick wink. "Now! Sit down and let's get you filled up with a good meal, yes?"

The sound of dishes moving follows. Salad meeting deep bowls, Behemoth steak, warm and moist, sliding against plates.

Slowly, and with more care than was even remotely necessary, Roxas sat down at the table. It had been so long since he was here last...What would Timon say if he knew Roxas had come? The meerkat would probably yell about making him worry...

The food smelled really good though. Sora and Ven weren't such bad cooks, but they hadn't been doing it nearly as long as Gwen had. The sights and scents even helped push Roxas's melancholy thoughts a little further toward the back of his mind.

"It looks great," he said, waiting to be told he could go ahead and dig in. If it were with Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa it wouldn't have mattered, but Gwen had always liked something more in the way of manners than the three animals did.
