[puppy usually doesn't come out very often nowadays, only when he knows there's danger that he can stop. he's in a corner, idly painting with colored ink. they're beautiful and elegant landscapes--he's somehow able to make the dressing room look like less of a prison and more of a home. he'd like some company!]

[will he do for company? he's making his way over, curious.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[of course. he doesn't look up, though.]

Kai.

[seasides]

[well then he won't see the bandages, will he.]

Hey.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[no. so you'll have to wait until he's done with his painting.]

Are you well?

[seasides]

Mmhm.

[he is feeling a bit better, actually, even if he's nearly walked into a couple things in his wanderings.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[he puts a few finishing touches before printing his name at the bottom, looking up at--a look of horror passes over his face.]

... this is what you call 'well'? I would hate to see what you call 'horrid'.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Well, there's a curious Kairi wandering over, if that's company enough.]

[seasides]

...it doesn't hurt.

[anymore. he's looking down and away now though.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[of course. though he knows most Kairis as princesses.]

Kairi.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

... I see. I'm afraid you don't.

[haha weak humor.]

How did it happen?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[No princess here. Just a rather curious girl.]

Hello. ...Roxas, right?

[seasides]

[oh god the eye jokes are already starting.]

A Saix tried to use me as a bargaining chip. It didn't keep the other person away like he wanted, so he hurt me like he said he would, and said it was the other's fault.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

Barbaric.

[he's trying to lighten the mood! he looks at Kai sternly.]

Would you allow me to return sight in both eyes to you? I cannot promise they will match, but I could try.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

Correct.

[seasides]

[smiles a bit.]

I'd... really, really appreciate it.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She offers a smile.]

Don't mind me. I was just looking.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[he gives a nod, going over to him. he presses a hand over the bandage, not too harshly, before he winces and steps back.]

... no. Your body says it's far too soon to regain your sight. How odd.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

You are welcome to watch, though you may not gain much.

[he's making a series of vines along one of the walls, with flourishing flowers.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Nods and sits down, watching silently for a while.]

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

[he's silent, and works diligently.]

How long have you been residing here?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

A little over two months, I think.

[seasides]

[s-sadface. he slumps, but nods.]

Thanks anyway.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

I am sorry.

[sighs, letting his hand fall to his side.]

It seems my power is becoming less potent, at any rate.

[cross-paths.livejournal.com]

Recently. Adjusted well, I hope?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[A sad look comes over her.]

...Not as well as I thought. But I'm getting there.
