~Six ♥ Hearts~

[breathenothing]

[Naminé appears, buried in a book and humming quietly to herself. She's dressed quite differently, though: a blue and white jumper-style dress with a matching blue ribbon in her hair. Despite her best efforts to appear cheerful, though, she just looks a little... distracted, like there's something seriously bothering her just beneath the surface

[... something about this is Not Quite Right.]

Naminé?

[sunkenlight]

Yeah. [Nod!] I'm positive.

[breathenothing]

[She has no idea how to respond other than to shake her head slowly, looking away briefly to think. When she looks back up at him, she's back to smiling a little, though it's only serving to cover her worry.]

It's alright. I usually wear this dress, but maybe the color is fading by now. Or something. Ah, I don't know that it matters much. Clothes don't make the person, after all. Right?

[sunkenlight]

[Looks down at his own super awesome magic clothes, then slowly tilts his head back up and nods.] I guess not... Still, something seems a little off. Are you sure you aren't maybe coming down with something?

[breathenothing]

[She nods a few times.]

I'm perfectly well. [She puts a wrist to her forehead, just in case.] No fever...

[sunkenlight]

Huh...

[He sits next to her and tries to peer at her book.] What's that?

[breathenothing]

It's my favorite story! [She smiles, excited.] The bookseller gave it to me after I asked if I could borrow it again. Can you believe it? He said that if I loved it this much, then it was mine. [She laughs a little.]

[sunkenlight]

[Takes a minute to just... run through all the Twilight Towners he knows and figure out who she's talking about.] Right. That was... nice of him. What story is it, again?

[breathenothing]

This one! [She holds up the book so that he can see the title which the movie never gives, dammit :|]

The one with the prince in disguise... and the sword fights, the magic spells...! [She looks so cute all starry-eyed like that]

[sunkenlight]

... Oh. I don't know if I've heard of that one before.

[breathenothing]

[She giggles a little.]

Well, I've already read it twice. You could borrow it, if you'd like?

[sunkenlight]

I'm not sure I'd have time to read a book right now...

[breathenothing]

Oh. Yes, I guess that's true.

You must have so much fun on your adventures, Roxas. I'm a little jealous, you know? All I have is this provincial town...

[sunkenlight]

[/GUILT]

W-well, it's not all fun and games...!

[breathenothing]

I know. [She bites her lip.] But don't worry about it. Papa needs me, after all.

[sunkenlight]

... Papa?
