[A main room with a crackling fire is Xeha's current hang-out. All nice and cozy. He's sitting back in an armchair with a bunch of papers.

What might be unusual about the scene is what's on them. Okay, he's got his reasons, and none of them are as bad as the norm, but-

Replica notes? This Xehanort?]

Whatcha looking at?

[Avani wanders in with a book and settles on the floor near the fire.]

Don't think they've met...?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Oh, a visitor? He gives her a warm smile. Anyone who's interested in his work is cool with him.]

Just a little bit of research.

I don't think they have ^_^

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Oh? What about, if you don't mind me asking?

[She's just got a hardcover copy of Dune she's about halfway through right now, her place marked with a white black and blue braided ribbon bookmark.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Complicated to explain. I'm a keyblade researcher - I'm looking into ways of creating new ones. What I'm looking at here, hopefully, will give me some ideas.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[That got her attention.]

Really? That's cool.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [He smiles.] It's proving hard, but... it'll make things worth it in the end, I always think.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

Hard work always does, right?

[She smiles and sets the book on the floor beside her.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Exactly. That moment when you can just sit back and go - 'I did that'. That's one of the best feelings.

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[vAvani nods.]

Yeah...Like with me, it's pretty hard work taking care of my little brother, but I think it'll all work out in the end.

[Oof! He looks around - no idea what's up with this one, but knows something likely is.]

Oh! Be careful!

... Why did I just think the full art for that icon makes it appropriate for this thread.

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

XD Oboy, I just realised.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Here - here...

[He gets to his feet, aiming to help Saix on his way. Just a gentle hand on the shoulder.]

What're you l- what are you after?

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, there's only a bit less than can be found in the average keybearer, so Saïx's likely to get a nasty surprise. No idea that the words aren't affecting a thing-]

Just let me lead you. I'll - uh, see what I can do.

[lunalunasai.livejournal.com]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Oh? Is it bothering you? - ah!

[Now that's an odd reaction. He'll let him go, but warily.]

[fromshadow]

[Feel free to ignore the Riku who just poked his head in- wait, no, you can't, he's going to speak.]

Did a kid come through here?

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, not that I've noticed... although I've been a little occupied. What do they look like?

[fromshadow]

Like me, but without the ears.

[The chinchilla ears sticking out from his hair, he means.]

About four years old.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A Riku - okay. He nods.] Sorry, no. I can't recall running into any younger people of that description lately. Is he lost?

[fromshadow]

No, he just runs around a lot at times.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A chuckle-] Sounds like a handful.

[fromshadow]

He can be, but he's alright most of the time.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. That bit's good to hear.
