[Namine is walking back to her room from the kitchen, a young golden retriever trotting along beside her. Looks like someone needed a late night snack, as she's holding a box of crackers in her hand. Even the dog is carrying a nicely sized bone in his mouth.]

[Was about to go back to the room too, still working on trying to get out of angst mode when uh. Oh okay, smile, quick, she's there.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Sees him and smiles, walking over to him.]

Can't sleep?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

Huh? Uh... kind of.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly looks worried.]

... what's wrong?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[Kind of wants to put off telling her.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She'll find out eventually.]

Are you sure?

[Just walks over and hugs him.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[He'll tell her when he thinks its time. Hugs back gratefully. Might be. Clingier than usual.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She notices that, but if he doesn't want to talk about it, she can understand that, so she'll just be there for him.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[Holds her there for a while, before leading the way back inside the room, motioning Dean to get in too.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Follows along, Dean trailing at their feet.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[Maybe he should tell her while there's still time. Sits down on the bed, still looking a bit glum.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She sits next to him, watching him closely and looking pretty worried.]

What is it, Ven?

[Just strokes his cheek with her thumb.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry if I seem so out of it lately.

[Holds her close, pulling her up onto his lap.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Smiles at that and cuddles up to him, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck.]

It's okay... but if there's something bothering you, you know you can always talk to me about it, right?

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

[--oh hey! It's a Namine. He'd been meaning to talk to one since he showed up. He recognizes that dog, too.]

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[She smiles at him, but considering the wide range of Roxae, she's not going out of her way to stop and talk. She'd rather not run into another evil one.]

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

[D'aw. This one isn't evil, so he'll probably follow just a bit. Maybe she's one of the 'normal' Namines.]

Uh... hey.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[Dean is sitting at her feet now, just watching Roxas.]

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

[Glances at the puppy, then back to Namine.]

Namine, right?

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

[Nods.]

Yep. Are you a Roxas?

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

I, uh...

[scratches his head]

Yeah, I am.

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

Well it's nice to meet you.

[She rather likes Roxae. Except for a select few.]

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you too.

[hm. Not going to mention the dog, maybe she's better off not knowing who he is. Still...]

Say, Namine. Riku told me a lot of things about Nobodies and the Organization, but he said it would be a good idea to talk to you, so... Could you tell me more about them?

[orchidenchanted.livejournal.com]

O-Oh okay... well what do you already know?

[erasedwind.livejournal.com]

Not much. Just that they don't have hearts and... and I used to work for them.
