[Riku doesn't seem bothered by the Victorian era clothing the castle gave him. His hair keeps his ears relatively warm, too, so he's quite alright with wandering outside in the cold about the castle grounds, journal in hand, blank page open and filling just with the sounds of crunching footsteps, until he speaks up.]... Not two weeks ago, I was on

[He doesn't have his ~magical~ journal with him, but Roxas is sitting outside, dressed warmly and scribbling in a regular, non-communicating journal. He's not paying too much attention to other people who might be in the area.]

[pullsheavendown]

You're lucky. I'm still missing one of my friends. But I made some new ones here, too.

[And he'll ignore the twinge of insecurity over Sora's suddenly-more-divided attention for now.]

[oathprotector]

[HAHAHAHA was not told about that just yet.]

You'll find your other friend, I'm sure. In the meantime, it probably is best to make new friends.

[He really really has no idea wtf to say to you, 'xas.]

[pullsheavendown]

[Which part?]

I'm not just going to replace her. Xion wouldn't forget me, so I won't forget her.

[Does Hallmark make a card for their situation?]

[oathprotector]

[the part about his bffs dating as of midnight.]

I didn't say that. There are no replacements for friends. I meant... it's good to make new friends, too. On top of the ones you already have.

[pullsheavendown]

[Oh, he's used to Sora being goopy-eyed over Kairi. You are the new distraction, Riku.]

Oh.

Well, I've got Sora and Kairi and Axel and Percy here. That's a lot. [FOUR IS A LOT.]

[oathprotector]

[Oh jeez. Well they'll probably be spending a decent amount of time together now.]

Yeah, that Percy seemed to know all of you guys. He's a good guy, then?

[pullsheavendown]

[sexiled :( ]

Yeah, he's cool. He says he knows one of the worlds, I've been to, but it's different somehow.

[oathprotector]

[ :((( ]

Is that right?

[Hmm.]

Seems like an interesting kinda guy.

[pullsheavendown]

He knows that Hercules guy-or knows about him.

[Curiously now]

Have you ever been to Olympus? I know some of the places Sora went to-I saw him in my head sometimes, before I know who he was. But it was fuzzy, so I don't know who was iwth him.

[oathprotector]

Olympus... I never went with Sora.

But Percy knows about it?

[pullsheavendown]

I've been there a bunch of times.

That's what he said.

[oathprotector]

.. Huh. But he isn't from our world, is he?

[pullsheavendown]

I don't know if I really come from a world, but...he's not from the places we're from.

[oathprotector]

... That's strange, then.

[He crosses his arms in thought.] I wonder what the connection is.

[pullsheavendown]

Don't ask me. They never told me this kind of thing could happen.
