[Today Riku can be found, as usual, in the library. He's not studying or researching though, just curled up on a couch in the corner where the lighting is nice and dim. He's wrapped up in a blanket, but as if that weren't enough, there's a big black maine coon curled in his lap. Upon closer inspection, he really doesn't look that good.]

Riku?

[was just getting his usual dosage of comics.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He's just kind of staring, not really all there. Oh wait, were you talking to me.]

...Hm?

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

...you okay? You don't look so good.

[wanders over, comic books tucked under one arm.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Not really. Big surprise, I know.

[island-hero.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[sits himself down on the couch.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Shifts a little, reaching a hand out to pet Prue.]

I kind of. Um. Lost a small part of my soul? I don't even know how to phrase that.

[................................................................]

What?!

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[nnnnn. This is why he doesn't like talking about himself ever. Can we talk about the weather now.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[There you are, he was looking for you. Aaaand the fact that he doesn't look so good worries him.]

Riku? Are you okay?

[When he gets close enough, Riku will probably be able to tell he's looking quite a bit more pale than usual too.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey Roxas. Why do you look about as shitty as I do?]

Not really. What about you?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Silly little soul eater.]

I'm fine. You're not sick again, are you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

No. And you don't look fine.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Sits on the edge of the couch near his feet.]

I'll be fine. I just ran into this kid-- it's a long story.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

S'not like I'm going anywhere you know.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.]

Alright, well... I ran into this kid that eats souls and he was hungry, so I gave him a little of mine. But it's not a big deal, I think it's mostly grown back by now, anyways.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[...what. Give him a second.]

...That little bastard.

[sirenicall]

[And here's your girlfriend, bringing another blanket and some coffee.]

I don't know how you keep getting into these messes.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Glances up at her- and immediately gets a flashback of her crying, and him almost dying of the flu.]

...I'm an idiot, obviously.

[sirenicall]

[Picks Prue up for a moment and moves her to the top of the couch while she lays the next blanket over him, then sits by his side.]

Well, you helped someone. That's a good thing right?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[nnnn why taking away his furry lap warmer.]

I guess.

[sirenicall]

[She had to put the blanket on him :< she'll just move Prue back now, then give his forehead a kiss.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[mmm, furry warm cat. Sinks down into the blankets a bit, looking somewhat miserable.]

[sirenicall]

[Aw :< Would he mind a Namine lap for a pillow?]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[...He wouldn't mind it.]
