[ There is a Riku lying on her back in the sand, having taken up the beach room for herself this morning. Her eyes are closed and it's hard to tell, but she might even be asleep.

Being back to normal physically and around to watch people is all fine and well, but she can only take so much exposure to certain people before she starts really feeling homesick all over again. What she misses most is having her own Sora around, but she's trying not to think too hard about that. The sound of the 'ocean' is a pleasant enough distraction. ]

Comments

[dawnrise]

[Is it really?]

Thanks for showing me.

[before]

[Just a little! Smiles slowly, gaze quickly fixing elsewhere.]

No problem.

[dawnrise]

[There's silence for a minute, then Riku starts walking again.]

[before]

[Follows her path roughly with his eyes.]

[dawnrise]

[It's a bit broken considering she slows to a stop every few steps, but she's making her way over to him.]

[before]

[Well alright, he'll just wait here.]

[dawnrise]

[She does make it eventually. In fact, she's only two or so feet away when she becomes visible again. Which leaves her looking surprised.]

[before]

[Amused by the surprised look.]

Welcome back.

[dawnrise]

[He would be. She glances around, then looks back to him.]

Interesting.

[before]

Doesn't seem like something that's supposed to be done a lot, though. Second vial causes nausea. Not sure what a third does.

[dawnrise]

[Frowns slightly.]

I wouldn't test it.

[before]

I don't plan on it.

[Even if it was nice seeing the town again.]

[dawnrise]

Good to know.

[Crosses her arms (she has no pockets to stuff her hands in) and leans against the wall.]

[before]

Well, that was all I wanted to show you.

[Shrugs, leaning forward while considering what to do next.]

So you can go back to... sleeping on the beach or whatever it was you were doing.

[dawnrise]

[Breathes a laugh at that, looking down at the ground.]

Wasn't sleeping.

[before]

I figured.

[Well, it's worth a try...]

What's up?

[dawnrise]

[Shrugs, looking off at some building.]

Nothing. Just got caught up thinking. Beaches are pretty good about doing that to you.

[before]

I'll take your word for it.

[Considers asking what she'd been thinking about.]

[dawnrise]

[Glances at him. No guarantees she'll tell him, but he can still ask.]

[before]

[It takes a couple minutes, but.]

What were you thinking about?

[dawnrise]

[Looks at him for a few seconds, then back to the town.]

Home.

[Close enough.]

[before]

Right.

[Knows how that goes, as seen just a little while ago.]

[dawnrise]

[Reaches up to run a hand through her hair. (Which ends up messing some of her bandages up, but oh well.)]

The beach is good for that, too.

[before]

I guess it would be.

[Hops off the wall, stretching.]

[dawnrise]

[Drops her hand and looks at him curiously.]
