The Hunger...

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Frustrated and starving, Leon has managed to find a box of pancakes and some eggs in a kitchen somewhere but can't for the life of him find a pan to cook with. He's considering just throwing his gunblade on the stove and cooking on that.]

*he recognizes this look and puts a hand on your shoulder*

... don't worry. We'll all get out of here. I promise. I can show you the library if you'd like?

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon seems slightly stiff due to the proximity between himself and Sora and also the hand on his shoulder. Leon is not used to this kind of closeness.]

Hmm. Yes. I would like that. I haven't been able to find any kind of....distraction since I've been here.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles at you and notices that you're uncomfortable, and is drawing back now*

Sounds good then.

*and goes to get a soda from the fridge*

Want one?

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon feels a heavy layer of sugary sludge covering the entirety of the inside of his mouth and throat and realizes that he does indeed very badly need something to drink.]

Is there any milk in there?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*takes a look in the fridge*

Yeah, and it's not yogurt now, either!

*pours you a glass of milk and sits back down, plowing through his pancakes at an alarming rate of speed*

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon gives Sora a slightly worried look.]

Not yogurt now? It shouldn't have been yogurt previously either.

[Is amazed at the speed with which you are devouring pancakes, thinking that you are burning through them faster than he was.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*well, yes, but he's a growing boy! he needs lots of pancakes! and cupcakes too*

Yeah, well sometimes the fridge has bad milk in it, that's what I mean.

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[His face grows more confused as he considers what Sora just said and even stops eating for a moment to think about it.]

Who keeps the milk stocked in the fridge? Is there a grocery around here?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*........... thinks about that*

.... I have no idea.

*is suddenly worried too*

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Giving himself a moment to consider the possibilities of magical milk, he quickly resumes his feast.]

If everyone has been ok eating and drinking what's in the fridge, I'm not worried. You should eat some more pancakes.

[Leon is trying to be nice and allay Sora's worries.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*well, he can't argue with that, and digs back in, but eats more slowly*

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon continues to eat with Sora again for a few minutes in silence before he decides to break it.]

So, what kind of research have you been doing at the library?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*nearly swallows his fork*

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon watches Sora struggle with his fork for a moment, wondering if he's going to have to do the heimlich on him.]

I don't think those are supposed to go that far down your throat.
Are you ok?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*coughs and looks away*

I-I'm fine.

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[He notices Sora's reluctance to talk about this particular subject.]

Would you like to head over to the library?
Maybe you can show me some of the books you've been reading.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

I uh. Doubt you'd be interested.

*and finishes up his meal, chugging the soda*

It's right up the stairs over here, to the left.

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

This place is big and confusing. A lot like Radiant Garden was.

[Only Leon knew every inch of radiant garden.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles at you*

Was? It seemed pretty big last I was there. And my best girl-friend is going to go there for University. She says it's big and confusing.

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon appreciates Sora's smile and gives him a very small one in return.]

Good for her. It's a good school.
I'd like to go back someday, but I've heard people say that nobody ever gets out of here.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*nods softly*

Well... it's a good school, but Riku, Ri and I will miss her a lot. I think Ri is already going through withdrawls of getting punched in the nards.

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[Leon stares blankly at Sora, unsure of exactly what he meant by withdrawals of getting punched in the nards.]

Well, that sounds painful. I know what it's like to lose friends though.
It's never easy. But at least you can always visit.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*thinks about that and nods*

It is painful, but yeah. *brightens* That's what gummi ships are for! And I'll be going to University on the Islands next year. If I uh... ever get out of here.

*opens the door to the Library*

And here we are!

[subvariate.livejournal.com]

[As always, Leon is wearing a blank expression.]

It's big. I bet they have a lot of books to do....*hmph* Research with.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*blinkity*

Nice observation, Captain Obvious.
