[ Why do new arrivals end up on the floor? Who knows. He, however, is clad in small, silver armor--and looking quite tired. He doesn't even seem to notice where he is, at first, because he's so busy trying to keep himself upright and not keel over. He's sitting against the wall, legs spread out in a V, with his hands on either side. The way his head keeps hanging, he's obviously near exhaustion and won't last too much longer without a bed or some food. He groans, and tries to stand up, almost toppling over and falling the first time, on his hands and knees.

He sucks in a breath and pushes himself up, forcefully, grabbing onto the wall to keep himself steady. Even as he stands, however, his knees are starting to shake and he sort of... collapses to the side, on one knee. ]

I can't believe it... I can't even move.

You wait until you simply find yourself there again. There is no actual exit from here, though many continue to look.

[He won't mention how he was able to leave, simply because it would be impossible for Sora to go the same way.]

... just wait? B-but I'm training! And I've got no idea what the council'll do if I'm not there, they might just take my Keyblade without giving me a chance!

We've learned from many people that have gone home and ended up here again, time oftentimes stops entirely on their world while they're gone. There's a good chance that you'll return with little to worry about.

[...lifts you up again, this time not letting go of your armor.]

[ Urk, that's a little uncomfortable. And by little we mean a lot and by uncomfortable we mean ouchies. ]

Since you don't need to train right now, why don't you simply remove this?

It's tied at the back. And my body hurts. A lot.

Hold still, then.

[Reaches to untie it, ready to catch any pieces of armor that look ready to simply fall.]

Oh, uh--

[ Just three knots and they're all falling off of his body, showing the perfectly normal school attire underneath. ]

... thanks.

[Riku's nose wrinkles the slightest bit once the armor is removed.]

I think the first place to show you would be the baths.

[ Frownyface. ]

You didn't have to smell.

[Sets the armor down.]

While it's true that I don't actually need to breathe, others here do.

[ Huff--then makes a face. ]

Fine. Just show me.

Are you sure you'll be able to make it? It's quite a walk from here.

[ ... he hesitates, glancing at his feet and then towards a hallway. ]

Uh...

That's what I thought. Come on.

[He kneels down on one knee, his wings spreading slightly for Sora to climb on and piggyback. Riku could carry him easily, but has an idea that Sora might not like simply being carted like that.]

... you're letting me on your back?

[ He's not sure whether to be awed or somewhat uneasy. But he does climb on.]

Relax, I'm certainly not a Hydra.

[He shifts his wings a bit more, hooking his arms under Sora's knees before he starts walking. He could just poof them there, but simply seeing him already came close to giving Sora a heart-attack.]

[ Thankful that nothing weird's going on, he relaxes a little more, just sort of drooping as he holds onto Riku. He's not stupid enough to let go, but he doesn't want to hold on so tightly. ]

[That's fine, it's not like he'd actually let you fall and hurt yourself. As he walks, Sora can even have a small tour of the things they pass.]

[ Too bad there's no dinner with this tour. ]

[That comes after the bath part. B|]

[ Oh fine. ... Are we there yet. ]

[Yes, we're there. When he said baths he meant baths, too. The room he's taken you to has three large, sunken baths in the floor, with the middle one being the largest. There's an almost quiet stream of water pouring into the end of each one from the ceiling, but it's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from with all the white cloth decorating the ceiling like ribbon.]

Still awake?

Hm?

[ Not really, sort of half--but he kind of stares at the big bathtubs, sort of leaning forwards to look. ]

Are these special angel baths or something?

They're the ones I prefer, but anyone could use them if they knew where they were.

[Heads up, he's setting you down now.]
