[Riku's sitting in the back of one of the more common rooms, just watching people go by around her. She's paying special attention to the individual Rikus, but her gaze lowers every time a Sora walks by.]

[there is a Kai and a peanut butter cookie invading your vision, Riku.]

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[looks up, startled.]

What?

[seasides]

[smiles softly. take the cookie, Riku.]

Hey. I heard younger me got his Heart back.

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[looks down.]

... Sora had it. The whole time.

[seasides]

Yeah.

[lowers the cookie with a sigh.]

I'm sorry.

[rests her forehead in her hands, fingers tugging at her hair.]

How could I be so stupid?

[seasides]

[sits down next to her, looking out over the people milling about.]

Everyone makes mistakes.

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[drops her hands to look at him.]

This is more than a mistake. Why didn't I just--

[makes a little frustrated noise, unable to find the right words.]

[seasides]

Just what?

[looks back at her, quiet and calm.]

What could you have done, really?

[he does notice her out of the corner of his eye as he wanders past, grinding to a halt in the middle of the room. he's kind of hazy, though -- in reality, his back is killing him, and someone is way too stubborn to even pop an advil.]

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[kind of narrows her eyes at the sight of him, not sure how to react. obviously, she's not going to say anything. she hasn't really talked to any of the Rikus around here.]

[thepathbetween.livejournal.com]

[he catches that face she's making at him (he's doing it right back).]

What?

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[somehow that's not surprising, but she still frowns at getting it.]

I didn't say anything.

[thepathbetween.livejournal.com]

[turns casually to face her, hooking his thumbs in his pockets. hopefully she didn't notice that rather obvious flinch.]

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[blinks, unsure of why he's doing that or what to say. unfortunately, she did notice, but she won't bring it up just yet.]

What?

[thepathbetween.livejournal.com]

[smirks.]

I didn't say anything.

[he's waiting for her to tell him her story, but if he knows himself, he's going to be here a while.]

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[oh, no kidding. that earns him a glare. even if there are things she wants to know, she's not willing to ask.]

Why don't you get lost?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is just going by~*

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[don't mind her eyes following. she may or may not recognize him.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*well he recognizes you*

Hey, Chibi Riku-tan.

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[yeah, that just confirms who he is for her, and she frowns.]

Should've known I'd see you.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*what don't you like the nickname?*

And just what is that supposed to mean?

[darkenedshore.livejournal.com]

[her? not really. tilts her head.]

No 'I told you so'?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Why would I say something like that?

not quite the right icon :|

[gestures with a hand.]

Kai got his Heart back. From Sora, just like you said.
