[ In a relatively silent hall of the dressing room, the sudden sound of a wall splitting seems to come from nowhere. Cracks weave across the surface like a spider's web, making the wall tremble and shake. Dark sand leaks from the narrow openings, a small precursor for what comes next -- part of the wall crumbles away and a small mountain of sand spills from it, carrying in a young woman with silver hair.

She's barefoot, dressed in plain black robes, and appears to be unconscious as she comes to a stop splayed across the floor. Half-buried in sand though she still is, it's a familiar face she brings back. ]

[Also much appreciated. Her eyes are locked on his little accessory, though. She knows who he is for sure now.]

Did I miss anything big?

[he hesitates, not meeting her eyes. how much should he tell? she's going to figure out things that happened on her own, maybe it would be better to just tell her.]

They're doing better now, but. Kai.. almost died. Axel too. Kai's Gemini is back.

[She tenses immediately when Kai's mentioned, and curses at the last part. She's concerned about Axel, too, don't get her wrong - but that last news just makes things so much worse.]

Where are they? How long ago was this?

They're at home. Someone tried to kill his Gemini, but somehow he can make Kai take the damage instead. It hasn't been that long.

[he moves back again when she's free of sand bogging her down, unsure what she'll do when she starts cursing.]

[She doesn't appear to be doing anything other than brooding, scowling at the floor as she tries to think without imagining what could have happened to them.]

I need to see them.

They'll be glad to see you.

[he'll offer her his hand again to help her to stand, though he'll also immediately let go afterward and start heading toward the room.]

[She'd thank him for it but she's too distracted to bother right now, nodding again instead as she moves to follow him. This is not the kind of news she wanted to come back to.]

[he'll be quick at disabling the traps on the door when they get there, glancing at Riku before knocking (you never know, Axel may not have pants on) and poking his head inside first.]

Kai? Someone wants to see you.

Hm?

[he'll be coming to the door, in that case, and will promptly stare in disbelief at the sight of Riku.]

['Someone' is not sure she likes being referred to so vaguely, but any objections she might have voiced die a swift death when Kai appears. Riku's entire body relaxes at the sight of him, relieved and just... happy. But she doesn't move to touch him yet, quickly looking him over for any visible injuries.]

[he gets a small smile at the expression on Kai's face. it isn't often he gets to give him a happy surprise, so he'd purposely not mentioned just how the someone was. he'll just slip away for a bit while they get reunited.]

[screw injuries, which he no longer has so nyeh, Riku is getting a tight hug.]

You're really here...

[Well hell, Riku said it hadn't been that long since whatever happened! But since she's apparently satisfied he's okay enough for it, she's definitely going to be hugging him back. As if she could stop herself.]

I'm here.

I missed you so much.

[he doesn't seem ready to let go any time soon, so hopefully she's okay with them standing there.]

[More than okay. She probably wouldn't be able to let go of him even if he tried.]

I missed you too.

I'm so glad you're okay.

[so much has happened since she disappeared, really. he's not sure where to start, but he knows he wants to tell her everything.]

[Good, because she was planning on grilling him for the full story once they'd caught up. But she breathes out a laugh, shaking her head against him.]

With what happened to you, you were worried about me?

[he laughs as well, smiling for a moment.]

To be fair, yours happened first.

Like that matters.

[She tightens the hug just a little, staring at the door past him.]

Guess not.

[he stays in that hug for a moment before loosening it on his end just a bit.]

D'you want to say hi to Axel? He's resting, but I think he'd be just fine if you came in.

[Sigh. She'll do the same, then. But don't expect it to last for long. She's been very lonely these... well, it feels like little more than a couple weeks to her, but still. Either way. She looks a little uncomfortable when he says that, but nods just the same, very determined not to let it show that she's a little worried about Axel, too.]

Sure.

Okay, c'mon in.

[he turns, opens the door wide- he may have moved to take her hand, just so he still knows she's there. the room is fairly clean, though it's obvious that more than one person has been spending more time than usual in there. besides the injured person on the bed, anyway. a certain fattybun is currently being obnoxious on Axel, and only looks over for a second when Riku and Kai enter.]

[hey, it's been almost two weeks, he's not really injured anymore. he IS still slowly rebuilding his stamina, however, which would explain why he's asleep on his face, Apricot perched on his back. or he appears to be asleep, anyway, until he speaks, muffled against the pillows.]

Kai, can you move the fatass, please? I don't want to squish him by rolling over.

[his senses are still a little off, or he would have noticed Riku immediately. also, he is a huge tool for Apricot. \o\]

[Well at least one thing around here is normal. Riku actually smirks.]

Looks like he's doing okay to me.

[...okay, he'll let go of Riku long enough to remove said fatass, the bun squirming and kicking a little because noooo I want to be over theeeere.]

He heals quickly, thankfully.
