what is sentimentality?

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[He's been at it for a little while now, just watching people pass by in the main area. Friends, enemies, doubles. It's a nice distraction from some of the things that have troubled him recently, most notably Ansem.

But as he watches, Riku pulls the two charms from his belt, one that's distinctly Kairi's and another that's orange and might be more familiar to those from Land of Departure. To no one in particular, he says--]

Just what does it mean to have a "bond", anyway?

[He places the charms back onto his belt and shrugs.]

Wonder just how far they can go...

[ooc; No spoilers in this post at all, so don't fret. Riku just happens to have the charm thanks to todomarishi.

I am open to BBS characters, but I'd like to request that people hold off on spoiler icons until the tables collapse and give a good warning. Written spoilers are fine, but whiting out text would be appreciated.]

[ Guess who's in your face now, Riku, looking disapproving? ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[... 'sup bff. Riku looks up and--]

Hey, Sora.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He flails his arms around, before putting his hands on his hips. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Sora, you are ridiculous. That actually prompts a laugh out of Riku.]

Okay, what's up?

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ ... holds three fingers up. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

... Charades?

[Pff. Dork. Hmm...]

Three words, huh?

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ Nods. Gestures to both of them. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Hmmmm... Something to do with them both.]

Friends?

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He brightens considerably and touches his nose. C: ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Well, that wasn't too hard. Riku crosses his arms, looking Sora over.]

Let's see... Next word.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ Pirate face! >:J ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[...P-Pfffff. Brb laughing just a bit--]

You're friends with Hook again?

[He's just kidding, of course, but.]

Hmm...

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ Shoves him, lightly, with a grin. Makes a more piratey motion. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[And he'll shove right back!

And then go back to thinking. Hmmmm...]

Argh?

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He nods frantically. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

Argh... are? Huh. Friends are...

[Well that makes sense.]

Next word.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He draws an eight on its side in the air. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Infinity symbol... huh.]

Forever?

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, touching his own nose again. And a thumbs up! ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Heh. And he'll smile, giving a nod.]

Guess you're right. I think you're living proof of that.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ With a silent exhale of relief, he sits down next to Riku, and prods the new charm he's gotten. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Hm? Well, he'll scoot over, then.

And as for the charm, he'll pluck it off his belt again.]

Heh. So you noticed it.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He nods, slowly, holding his hand out so he can see it up close. ]

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[That's fine. He'll hand it over so Sora can take a closer look.]

I've only had it for about a week, so it is pretty new.

[notthechosen.livejournal.com]

[ He examines it tenderly, a frown on his lips. ]
