An itchy sort of feeling.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[Here in the garden room, Mama's taken the second-eldest out for a science lesson. Or... just to play in the dirt, because he's pretty sure that Rikka's hair is going to be full of it. He's watching the little boy carefully as he snacks on a few strawberries (his favorite!).

For the past week, though it's hard to explain, Sora's had a tiny seed of fear planted in his head. One of those unexplainable feelings that something's gone wrong. The kind that makes Ri think he's crazy. He reaches over and puts his hand over Rikka's forehead for what may be the tenth time, watching as the little boy jerks away, getting slightly annoyed. He's not sick, but why does he feel Rikka's Darkness flaring, and why is it so strong? Sora closes his eyes and feels, frustrated.]

[well, Sora gets this Kai peeking in and looking concerned, because the mun isn't sure how much olderKai may end up involved in the whole Marluxia mess, since he was supposed to be keeping poor Rikka safe and shall be quite heartbroken to find out how badly he failed at that.

BUT YES peering in and frowning, because by now he's pretty certain something has happened to Rikka. but is this the kind of thing he wants to tell the mama bear about?]

*He couldn't have watched Rikka all of the time. And besides, this Rikka is bouncing over towards Kai and attaching himself to Kai's legs. Are those sparkly blue eyes boring into Kai? Maybe! He's very happy that you're here because Mama's being weird.*

[seasides]

[olderKai will still feel like it's his fault. :( but this Kai will scoop that little Rikka up in his arms for some cuddles~.]

Hey, little guy. What's up with your mama, huh?

[epic-adore.livejournal.com]

*He clings and sucks his thumb. He doesn't know, but he's been taking his temperature all day :< He does so love sum cuddles though.*

[seasides]

[there will be many many cuddles as he makes his way over to Rikka's mama.]

Sora?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He snaps out of his little trance and looks up at Kai, offering a little smile, but is easily distracted again.

Kai... hey. Does this place have a basement of some sort?

[seasides]

...not that I know of, though there are some basement-like rooms. Why?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

...

*He glances at Rikka again, looking conflicted and then surprised when he feels another pulse. It's like when he can feel Ri or his friends in pain, but stronger. Mother's instinct and all.*

[seasides]

...Sora, what's wrong?

[if he can feel it, would it be right to tell him that the older Rikka is missing...? Kai is quite unsure.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*If he wants to see the spazzing of the century. Otherwise, maybe not. Because the Room Rikka's in is only accessible via Marluxia. Or maybe Ri, since he can navigate Dark Corridors. For now, Sora will just focus on that little pulse he feels, his Heart racing. Sorry, he's a bit preoccupied.*

[seasides]

Sora.

[okay, he definitely sounds concerned there.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora's stepping closer to the wall in the garden room, pressing his palms to it, as if he could map out where the pulse was coming from.*

... something wrong.

[seasides]

[so hesitant now, but he's moving to follow Sora.]

What?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

I have a bad feeling. It feels like something is wrong with Rikka, but he's right here...

[seasides]

[well that just seals it, doesn't it.]

Oh.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

I don't understand it. I've felt that way for a week.

*He'll be taking baby Rikka back now >__>*

[seasides]

[he will hand Rikka over easily! he doesn't blame him for being worried.]

That's strange.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*Sora holds him close and watches him.*

... yeah.

[seasides]

Maybe whatever the problem is, it'll solve itself?

[he hopes. god, he hopes.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

... you know things are never that simple, Kai.

[seasides]

...yeah, I know. But I can hope, right?

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*He smiles and rubs your shoulder.*

There's never any harm in hoping.

[seasides]

[he'll return the smile! though it's a little hard when he feels like he's hiding something so important.]

I'm sure there are people who'd disagree.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

That's why we don't listen to those assholes.

*He can't help it and laughs brightly.*

[seasides]

[it gets a startled laugh out of him as well.]

I'm glad you reminded me of that.
