[reveringly]

[She'd seen Namine run by, crying-and that, of course, was reason enough to be worried. And so, she follows.

For a moment, she watches her cry, before approaching her.]

Namine?

[colorme_in]

[She shakes her head, hating this twinges of pain and sadness that were hurting deep in her chest.]

He's gone...gone forever...

[reveringly]

[She crouches down to Namine's level.]

... Who's gone?

[colorme_in]

Alucard. Alucard's gone! And he...he left me alone...

;______;

She was actually out and about thanks to Namine. After finishing settling in the new place with a couple of her friends, Celes had decided to follow the directions Sion gave her to the weapon shops. It was easier to start from the coral then any where else. She hadn't seen the girl at first, until the sound finally drifted to her. Was that...crying?

"Namine..." Hurried steps took her to where the girl was. She knelt down, reaching gently to touch the girl's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

;A:

[colorme_in]

The Nobody looked up at the woman, recognizing her as more tears poured from her eyes.

"My...m-my...Alucard...he went home..."

[onceageneral]

"I'm so sorry, Namine."

She rubs the girl's back. "Cry as much as you like..."

[colorme_in]

She just nods silently, letting the tears flow openly. Why did this have to hurt? Why did the place take him home? He had promised her that he would always be there for her..and now he wasn't.

/cuddles forever ; ;

[He hadn't gotten out of the house much. Not since Joshua was abducted, Kairi and Xion left for home, and he'd gotten away from Vanitas' watchful gaze. It was a miracle in its own right that he'd gotten away from Sora in the first place, if only for a moment.]

[But then he heard the crying, and he had to stop for a moment and be more mindful of his surroundings. That presence was...definitely familiar. Thus he followed it, appearing near the coral to see the familiar white-clad girl kneeling on the ground. ...Why did she have to smell the same?]

Naminé...?

/huggles forever

[colorme_in]

Riku!

[She pauses to look at him, her normally clear blue eyes now clouded with pain and sadness.]

Alucard...he's gone home...

; ; /cries with

[limitless_land]

[Riku pauses a moment. Alucard... gone?]

[Sure enough, when he went to see with his sixth sense, his almost overbearing presence was absent. Just like Kairi and Xion. Oh, Naminé... He kneels down next to her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. Was that sadness and sympathy in those green eyes behind his hair?]

...I'm sorry.

[colorme_in]

[She shakes her head.]

D-Don't be, Riku. It's over...there's nothing we can do.

[slappingsense]

[Yeah, she may come off as being all quiet and reserved, but darn it, when Sango sees anyone crying, she can't help but turn to mush. She remains across the street for a moment, uncertain if she should come closer--she is a stranger, after all; maybe she wouldn't be the most comforting sight--but... ultimately, she can't fight her instinct to help.]

Is... everything alright?

[STUPID QUESTION HERPDERP. She'll just be standing in front of poor Namine, clutching Kirara in her arms and giving the girl a concerned look.]

[colorme_in]

[Namine simply shakes her head, clutching her arms to herself as she shudders in sadness and worry. Why did this have to happen? She was so happy...]

[slappingsense]

[She crouches in front of the girl, setting her giant boomerang to the side. Seeing younger ones cry reminds her of the times Kohaku had broken down before her, few as they were, and she's tempted--so very tempted--to stretch an arm out and give the girl a hug; however, she knows better than to do something to foolish, even if the sister inside of her just wants to comfort the poor thing.]

I know that maybe you don't want to speak to anyone, let alone someone you don't know, but... if you want to talk about what's wrong, I'll gladly listen. [She offers the girl a small smile, hoping she sees it.] My name is Sango, by the way. See? Now we're not strangers any longer.

[colorme_in]

[She looks up at the girl, her blue eyes narrowed in sadness.]

I-I'm Namine. Ah...my friend, Alucard...he went home. He's gone...and he left me alone, even though he promised that he would always be with me...

[aqualified]

[Aqua kneels down beside Namine, a worried expression on her face.]

What's wrong?

[colorme_in]

My...my friend. Alucard. He's gone home...

[aqualified]

Oh...I'm so sorry. It must be difficult, knowing you might never see him again.

[She gives her a small, sympathetic smile, before sitting, looking up at the dome above.]

But he's not gone completely, you know.

[colorme_in]

I-I know...I still have memories of him. As long as the memories as here, he's still here...

[A sob.]

But he's not really here...
