[well, for once, Riku's not all done up in black. he's in the beach room in a pair of dark blue shut up it's not black board shorts. it looks like he's taking a break from swimming, as he's very much soaked. but he's downing water from a bottle near a duffel bag sitting on a rock that's some distance from the water. as always, he looks like he could use some bugging. not that he'd enjoy it.]

[Roxas is good at bugging when he needs to be. Like now, for instance. Strolls over, watching the waters with a casual glance.]

Having fun?

[fromshadow]

[doesn't answer until he's finished with his water, screwing the lid back on and stuffing it back into the bag. only then does he turn his attention to Roxas.]

Not particularly.

[Sora is similar to a puppy in some ways: if you feed him, he's likely to be your best friend forever! so he's off to the side a few feet away, watching Riku curiously.]

[fromshadow]

[a shadow, huh? once he's done drinking, he glances down at Sora, kind of surprised to see him.]

What are you doing here?

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

I dunno! What're you doing? Are you gonna make a big soup?

[gestures vaguely at the water. there's a tiny yellow chocobo at his feet as well, preening itself and fluffed out into a little ball.]

[fromshadow]

...you don't make soup with the ocean.

[how the hell did Sora even come to that conclusion? and the sight of the chocobo is... odd, to say the least.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Sora's got kind of a wild imagination.]

I bet you could if you got lots and lots of veg'tables! And you don't even gotta add salt!

[bends over to scoop up the little fluffball.]

[fromshadow]

It still wouldn't taste good. There's other stuff in the water.

[vaguely curious about where said fluffball was acquired. he can remember his own Sora's excitement when they found out there was a chocobo ranch on Radiant Garden.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry, Mister Chef Riku! I got it figured out.

[pets the fluffball, and it starts peeping happily. he'll probably be shoving it in Riku's hands at some point in this conversation.]

You can make it a fish soup! 'Cause there's already fish in the sea!

[fromshadow]

[shakes his head, looking faintly amused.]

The ocean's pretty dirty. It's not the kind of water you'd want to use for soup.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Ohh .. Even if you cooked it for a really long time?

[fromshadow]

Even then.

[considering Sora's idea of a really long time probably wouldn't be enough to get the water even half clean.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Let's just stick to regular bowls then!

[plops the chocobo on his shoulder. it keeps up with the peeping and starts chewing on Sora's hair.]

[fromshadow]

Sounds like a plan.

[...pffft. as if Sora's hair wasn't messy enough without the help of chocobo spit.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Hey, Mister Chef Riku, you wanna hold Bawk?

[fromshadow]

...sure.

[crouches down in front of Sora, holding his hands out.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[so he deposits Bawk onto Riku's palms, looking pleased! Bawk just thinks that Riku's thumb looks like something it can chew on, sorry for the light nips.]

[fromshadow]

[just watches the bird a little blankly, though an eyebrow goes up at the nipping.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[Bawk fluffs out its feathers and settles down in Riku's hands, peeping softly. seems that Riku's hands are pretty comfy.]

[fromshadow]

[it takes him a moment to do so, but he almost hesitantly runs a finger along the top of Bawk's head.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[like master like chocobo, Riku is now Bawk's new best friend! it peeps again, happy, and will probably peck at Riku's thumbs if he stops petting.]

[fromshadow]

[right, of course. he'll keep up the petting for a little while, smiling faintly.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Wow, Bawk really likes you! 'Cause, 'cause sometimes when Bawk meets new people he just bites 'em, but not you!

[fromshadow]

Well I'm glad I'm not being bitten.

[because that means there's no urge to toss the little fluffball.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

Right, I forgot. Rikus aren't allowed to be anything but broody and emo.

[Smiles dryly, shaking his head.]
