why can't we seem to keep it together;

[It's almost admirable how much effort Riku's putting into not spending all his time in the library. He's taken to lying out on a couch in one of the main rooms, book in his hand and headphones on.]

[There's a baby chocobo exactly the shade of Roxas' hair clambering and flapping onto Riku's stomach.]

[It walks up to him, before pausing a certain distance from his face, peeping.]

[It must've been the shiny headphones. it's pecking at it curiously now, little bell tied with a ribbon around its neck jingling]

[And it just clambers back up to him again. :>]

[curious Kai is curious and everywhere today and leans on the back of the couch, peering down at Riku. he's still got wings, by the way.]

Hey.

[seasides]

Hi.

[tilts his head a bit.]

You know, it looks really weird to see you reading while you have a blindfold on.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I'll just read like this then, shall I?

[seasides]

[reaches down to pull it back into place, wings flaring a bit.]

I didn't mean you had to stop reading like that.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

If you're so sure.



What's with the feathers?

[A Riku reading? That in itself is an odd sight, but one with strangely-colored hair is even stranger. Ienzo himself has a fair share of books, but that doesn't stop him from glancing at Riku briefly before focusing on one of the books Ri gave him.]

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

[...curious indeed. Ienzo doesn't even know how it's possible to read wearing one.]

If you don't mind me asking, how is it that you're reading while your eyes are completely covered?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

It's a... second sight sort of thing.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Really now?

[that's the first time he's heard of that sort of thing, although he's seen a few Rikus with blindfolds in passing]

Would it have anything to do with the darkness?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Believe me, I wouldn't walk around like this if I didn't have to.

[correcting.livejournal.com]

One would wonder how your eyes function like that.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Keep wondering.

[correcting.livejournal.com]

If you have no explanation for me, I guess I'll have to.

[ sighs. Oh Riku, you sure do know how to keep a mind curious. ]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Sometimes you can see with more than just your eyes.

[correcting.livejournal.com]

I guess you're proof of that.

[ And she realized that. But reading words of a page while blind seemed kind of absurd to her. ]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...I wish I wasn't.
