Just have to catch my breath;

[For those of you who might recognize this woman, you will probably realize rather quickly that she isn't anything like the others. And if the casual outfit and lack of powers don't give the hint, maybe the little blond boy tugging excitedly at her wrist will. While he's blabbering on incoherently, she is just getting dragged along, looking confused, but overall amused.]

Whoa, whoa, Roxas. You're going to have to slow it down for me.

Because she likes to toss a blizzard spell or two at him when he starts telling me she's possessed.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

.... your cat is attacking my son with his weakness?

[Blink.]

Well that's one smart cat.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

She always near-misses though. To be honest, I think she just likes watching him flip out.

[Can't hide an amused look at that. Also here we are, a nice empty room for the taking.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

It doesn't take much...

[Looks amused too, actually! Oh hello there room. She seems to like it just fine, considering she's walking around and examining everything.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Oh good. Glad things are up to your expectations. He'll just wait around outside till your done.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Well she heads back out, shutting the door behind her.]

It's lovely, thank you for showing me here.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Sure. The next thing I'd suggest is getting familiar with where the kitchen is, but with Roxas as your tour guide that shouldn't be a problem.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sure he'll be begging me to make him something soon enough with that 'you make it better than I do' excuse.

[Laughs a little, looking at Riku.]

Might as well beat him to it. Are you hungry at all?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates, feeling a bit bad for making someone else's mom cook for him :|;]

Just a little. There's probably some leftovers in the fridge though, you don't have to make anything.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Don't be silly, that wouldn't taste anywhere near as good as freshly cooked food. We can call it even if you peel potatoes.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little.]

Alright.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Alright, then.

[Looks around a bit.]

So which way to the kitchen?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

This way.

[Heads back down the hallway.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Follows~!]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Once they get to the kitchen he's going to pour himself some more coffee.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[And she's going to be gathering supplies, looking through all cabinets to get an idea of where everything is.]

So tell me a little something about yourself, Riku... I'd like to get to know Roxas's new friends.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Takes a bit to think. Hmm, mentioning to bff's mom that her son is the only reason emoku is not a mentally ill, suicidal druggy is probably a bad idea. S-Shrugs.]

...I spend a lot of time reading in the library. Probably the only reason Roxas ever goes in there.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

..... Roxas. in a library? The only time that boy ever went in the library was when he had a crush on his librarian in fifth grade.

[You know, one of these days she'll find out about his fight with his mom and tell him to his face she's adopting him.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Snorts.]

I'll have to remember that one. I think I've only ever seen him read a book once.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

That's just something I could never get him into... he'd rather be doing the things himself than reading about them.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

That sounds like him. Unless it came to lake swimming or something.

[Oh right, I'm supposed to be helping with food-making.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Actually, I caught him swimming at least four different times over the years. Obviously, I tried to keep him away from it, but that only made him want to try it more.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

He's stubborn like that. You won't have to worry about it now though, unless him swimming in lava bothers you.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

I'd much prefer him doing that.

[Breathes a laugh, though she's smiling kind of sadly.]

Doesn't surprise me in the least. He's more like his biological father than he'll ever know.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. Didn't he have the same powers before Roxas?

[Fire powers tend to lend towards stubbornness and fiery tempers in his experience.]
