I'll spend my time

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[a certain Replica is walking through some hallway or other, dragging behind him a small red cart with something big and angular and covered by a sheet on it. next to him trots a very proud, very fluffy and rather pudgy kitten. people that know him would notice that he's got his eye, or at least an eye, back, and anyone familiar with his latest... mishap... might also notice that his nails are almost all grown back again.]

[ooc: he's mainly looking for sunsettingly  but everyone is welcome, of course.]

[He's strolling down an adjacent hallway, a content look in place as Prue trots along in front of him. Feel free to grab his attention, he's been kind of spaced out lately anyway.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Riku!

[he hurries his steps, relieved that it didn't take as long to find him as he had feared it would.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Turns, but doesn't quite recognize him because he's got two eyes again.]

Uh, hi.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[not this again.]

Please don't tell me you've forgotten everything as well.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

What? Of course not.

[Why is a stranger asking him about... wait.]

...Roxas? What happened to your eye?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Nothing. I just woke up like this.

[he sounds convincing but the hue of the iris is not quite right and if you were to look very closely you might even see lots of tiny little wires in his right eye.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...Strange.

[He'll buy it for now, though he can't help but wish it had been that easy for him.]

What're you carrying around, anyway? And... is that your cat?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[nods at the 'strange' part. it was.]

It's a secret~. And yes, this is Oslo.

[Oslo meows in agreement.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Prue doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that she now has competition. Evident from her bushy tail getting even bushier and the quiet growling.]

When did you get him?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[Roxas notices Prue's reaction and is quick to pick Oslo up. no fighting his baby kitten thanks.]

Recently... two weeks ago, maybe? I've been so distracted I forgot to show him off.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Nods, picking up Prue as well- who drapes herself lazily around his shoulders.]

So what the big secret you're carrying around?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

You remember what I said I'd do for you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Frowns, thinking.]

...Are you talking about the origami dragon?

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[giggles and pulls away the sheet, revealing a very intricate, very big oriental style dragon made from white paper.]

It's probably covered in cat hairs, and I messed up a bit with one of the feet, but...

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Who cares about a tiny mistake or cat hair. He's going to just. Kind of stare in awe now.]

That's... incredible.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[...blushes.]

Y-you think? I mean, my hands were all shaky in the end and the folds aren't neat all over, and I wish I could have found some colored paper instead...

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Roxas, that's amazing enough as it is.

[He certainly looks impressed anyway.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[s-smiles and nods. maybe Riku's right.]

Thank you. I'm really glad you like it.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles, and it's a more happy smile than usual from him.]

It's really incredible. Thanks.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[did it make him that happy? Roxas wonders and feels proud.]

You're welcome.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He's just able to be happier now that he's not suffering from untreated depression.]

You're a bit late for my birthday though, if that's what you were planning.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[happier Riku means happier Roxas.]

...your birthday? And you didn't tell me!

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I-I didn't tell anyone. My girlfriend has a habit of snooping around though. And she probably told the other Roxas, so...

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

...you should have told me. But okay. Now this is your birthday present.

[looks stubborn.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little.]

Okay.

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[nods and rubs at his right eye as if it's irritated.]

Good. Have you had any cake?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I have. My girlfriend made me one last week. Do you want some?

[It feels so strange for him to refer to her as his girlfriend, but he'll get used to it.]

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'd love some. What kind of cake?

[pets the now asleep Oslo before putting him down in the cart, between the dragon's front legs.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

It's chocolate with strawberry frosting. There should be about half a cake left.

[And right on time, his stomach growls.]

sorry for being so late ^^;

[roxasreplica.livejournal.com]

[ooh, cake! he starts to walk quickly towards the kitchen.]

That's a quarter each.
