[She's grabbing him by the jacket and turning him in the direction she came from. There are Neoshadows clawing along the walls, headed their way.]

I can't use my Keyblades.

What.

[What the everloving hell, why can't she use her Keyblades. Talk about not good.]

[No kidding. And she knows he doesn't have anything like that!]

You heard me, now run.

[Running sounds like a good idea, even if he still wants to bitch at her for making him crush those vials he was carrying. So running is what he shall do!]

[She's running along with him, though she probably won't be keeping up well since she doesn't run as fast as some people. Like Riku. But he can yell at her once they're out of harm's way!]

[The question is; will they be able to get out of harm's way, without one of them having to fight?]

[Probably not, unless they run past something more interesting. Much more, since Heartless can be pretty fixated and all.]

Do you have anything to slow them down?

[He opens his mouth to respond, then stops and turns, spitting out a web of all things that completely blocks off the hall. For whatever reason, the Heartless can't seem to pass it.

Red looks about as confused as Roxas probably feels (aside from the horror, of course).]

[Sorry, what. She just screamed and tripped back into the wall.]

Since when could you do that?!

Since about a minute ago, apparently. That's never happened before.

[He tries to do that again, but just gets... saliva, which doesn't even have a hint of web to it. Go figure.]

[She relaxes (a tiny bit) and glances away from the heartless back to Red. Eww.]

You can't do it again?

Not while thinking about it, apparently. That's useful.

...well, you stopped the Heartless. Thanks.

[She still doesn't like him, but she's warmed up to him considerably since their last conversation.]

Well it was that or lose my heart again.

I-- Again?

[Forget Heartless. This is much more interesting.]

Yeah. I got cornered ages ago and lost my heart. Riku managed to track down my Heartless and got it back.

I guess that was before I showed up.

[She looks annoyed again, but she's relaxing. She's also still half-covered in mud.]

Probably. Were you around when the wall split the DR in two?

[She has to try and remember, then starts, and nods.]

Oh. No, I remember that. That was a long time ago.

Yeah. I got 'cornered' against the wall and couldn't beat them back enough to get away.

...at least you got it back.

[That's much, much more than most people can say.]

Yeah.

[It really is. He probably wouldn't have, if not for Riku.]

[Probably not. Roxas just looks at him for a minute, then down at herself, then back to the... web. And the Heartless.]

...we should probably find a way to deal with those.

[Leaving Heartless around is generally something of a bad idea.]

[She stares at him.]

Do you have a keyblade?
