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.

[Goes back to quietly peeling potatoes. Are we almost done?]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Yep! All done. Aand it looks like Terra's almost done too. Lmao, way to peel guys :|]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Do we look like master chefs to you :|]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[... good point. Anyways. She'll be serving everything up now.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Is it delicious. And may we begin scarfing it down now.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Yes, plz do. She'll be setting everything on the table and telling them to sit down while she gets them some milk :>]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[T-This actually kind of makes him wish he had a mom again. Oh well, might as well try to remain polite in the presence of someone else's mom.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Now I want to see him be upset about something and her all *hugs c:*]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He'll be quietly upset later over being jealous of someone else's mom, if that's something. Or do I have to do something sadistic to him again.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[asdfghj no ;o; That works, and then he can tell her/she can find out and she will say that she'll be his new mom :>]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Roxas might have to be the one to tell her, if only because Emoku wouldn't want to trouble her with something like that.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's not stupid, she can probably tell something happened. Details don't matter.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[It's that mom sense, isn't it. Either way, she'll find him in the library later, settled on a couch in the corner. He's not reading though, just silently petting Prue, who's draped across his lap.]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Indeed. There you are! She'll be walking over now.]

Riku?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh, it's you. Puts on a polite smile.]

Hey.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[sits on the edge of the couch beside him.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Just spending some time with Prue.

[Just because Roxas can tell when he lies, doesn't mean Terra can, right?]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Wrong. She raised that mother hen, where do you think he learned it from? But she'll play along for now, just looking down at Prue.]

Oh, is Prue feeling a little left out?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Prue seems to be content as a cucumber, all sprawled out on his lap and purring.]

Guess so.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Leans over to pet her a little as well. She stays silent for a moment before glancing up at Riku.]

You know, for as closed off as teenagers try to be, you can all be pretty obvious.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[His face falls after a moment.]

I'm barely a teenager anymore.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make you any less obvious.

[Just gives him a small smile.]

If you have something to get off your chest, I'm all ears.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates, considering what he could even tell her.]

...It's just some bad memories.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Nods a bit.]

If you're uncomfortable with talking, that's fine, I don't have to know anything. Just please don't bottle it up. That's the worst thing for you to do and it only make everyone around you worry more.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Looks away, forcing a slight smile.]

Guess you really are his mom. That's just the kind of thing he'd say.
