(no subject)

[It's not every day you see Rikus carting books around, but today this particular Riku's got quite handful, and they're all about Heartless.

But why? Well, when your best friend is stuck as a Heartless and you're a stubborn Keybearer, it's only natural to search for a solution.

Along with the books, he's also got all thirteen Ansem Reports piled on top from his journeys back home, and with these he's headed straight for the closest empty room he can find, not even bothering to close the door.

Those that can sense darkness may notice that his is particularly strong today.]

[ and in comes Sora, with his Emerald Serenade following. he approaches sort of cautiously, able to feel that darkness. he just offers a book--it's a journal illustrating handmade Heartless pictures. no, they're not any good, Sora's not too good at drawing, but it's thick--while Sora's lost his verbal voice, it looks like most of his writing has turned rather eloquent. ]

[ ...she recognizes that Darkness as she passes, even if it is stronger than usual. Sticks her head into the room, curious. ]

Riku?

[Give him a second, as he's wrapped up in reading before he looks over at Sora and takes the journal.]

Looks like you've been busy.

... Hey, Kairi.

[Doop de doop. Watch him attempt to act casual.]

[ he shrugs, scratching the back of his head. he's had time to kill. ]

[He flips through it briefly before handing it back to Sora.]

So, what's with the Heartless?

Hey.

[ ...hang on, she's heading in to peek at those books. ]

... Can I help?

[ he regards him quizzically before the Serenade bumps him. he stumbles a little, before looking back and patting it lightly. there's one valuable piece of sign language that Sora learned when he was tiny, and so he taught it to Riku. he hopes he remembers it as he locks his index fingers together, pulls them apart, and does it again, in a slightly different way. friends. ]

Go ahead. There's more than enough books here, anyway.

Friends, huh? Well, if you say so.

[It seems odd, being friends with a Heartless, but if Sora's tame, then... Heh.]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised, in a place like this.

[ he imitates a gun firing, then crosses his arms in an X. obviously, this Heartless doesn't attack. ]

[...Pff. He laughs.]

So what does it do?

[ he shrugs, visibly, and looks back at the Heartless. it just floats--at least, before it starts moving in an endless circle around a bookshelf. ]

[ nods, then grabs a chair and pulls it next to him, taking one of the books from the pile. ]

Heh. Guess it's like a pet, then.

[He leans back in his seat, successfully distracted to some degree.]

[ Sora nods, though his eyes drift back to the books. he perches his on one stack, looking through the titles... and he looks at Riku with a frown on his face. they're best friends; he can figure it out. ]

... Something wrong, Sora?

[... Besides the fact that Riku's been researching Heartless and darkness.]

[ he can't get what he wants to say through in words, so he just goes over and hugs Riku, a silent sigh on his lips. ]

[...Whoa. That was...unexpected.

It takes him a moment to respond, as the hug caught him off guard. Even so, he'll return the favor.]

[He's glad to have her there. Really, he is. That's why he gives a small smile as he starts digging through the pile.]

[ he gives him a pat on the back along with it, before pulling back. he bumps his fist against his chest, in a mimicry of 'I'm fine!' ]

[ Smiles back, already looking through the book. ]

Maybe, but you're still stuck like this. Don't you want to change back?

He says he's fine, but I don't buy it. There has to be a way to change him back...

[And he's not about to give up, either.]

Yeah...

Especially here, right?
