[Should you be wandering the halls today, you might run into a slightly jumpy-looking Kairi. She's glancing from door to door, obviously looking for a certain one- she could have sworn she remembered where his room was, but maybe not...]

stirring the pot~

*here is someone digging through a closet, pulling out an assortment of silly party hats*

ohhh boy.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[If she could tell who it is at first glance, you bet she'd be running right now. Sadly, not so. Hey there kind stranger--]

...Excuse me?

you know you love it

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he pulls his head out of the closet, one of the party hats perched jauntily on his head*

Huh? Oh, did you need this closet?

Kairi certainly doesn't

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

No, I'm just looking for s--

[Her breath catches in her throat mid-word, and she tries hard not to look like a deer in the headlights all of a sudden.]

...someone.

LOLZ drama

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*... why so scared, he's totally helpless and wearing a silly paper hat*

Someone like who? I know lots of people.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Ha, Ri is never helpless.]

H-He's blind- he has a cane.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*thinks about it*

Oh. That Riku. I've seen him around a bit. I think my son has met him, but I'm not sure.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I'll find him eventually. Thanks anyway.

[And now she thinks it's time to scurry away before he has a chance to get to know who she is.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*too late*

Wait a second, I've met you before, haven't I? You seem familiar, and not just because you're shaped like my Princess.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She stops dead in her tracks. So close to getting away, sob.]

No, I don't think we've ever met.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

You sure? Well, maybe one of my friends talked about you or something. My name's Ri, by the way. Hey, you feel like going to a party?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

I should really be going, I... I have to find Riku, so...

[She'll take any excuse she can get.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*too bad he's dense*

Oh, the party isn't right now! It's sort of a belated birthday for one of my friends. His name's Kai. Do you know him? Anyway, he totally missed out on his birthday last month because he's been healing. Giant icicle came out of nowhere and stabbed him through the middle. It was pretty gruesome and we were all worried he might die from it.

[it may not be his room, but Riku here was comfortable enough on this couch over here that he's actually fallen asleep. but is it the Riku she's looking for? there's a television on at a low volume, and a slim white cane lined up alongside the couch.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[No wonder she couldn't find him- what are you doing in front of the tv, young man. She sits silently near him on the couch's edge.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[napping, of course. whatever he was watching before seems to have been replaced with a show about three old ladies living together. he'll probably have a crick in his neck when he wakes up, as he hasn't stirred from where he is, snoring softly.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Silly boy, why were you trying to watch what you can't see? She's hesitant to wake him, but eventually places a hand on his shoulder.]

Riku.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he'd tell her if she asked! the cool touch alone is almost enough to wake him, but it's mostly his name being called that does the trick, a hand going right to the one on his shoulder before he realizes what he's touching.]

Nngh? Kairi?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's me.

[She'd pull her hand back again if he hadn't gone right to that upon waking.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Thought so.

[he hasn't met anyone else with a touch as cool as hers, after all. he gives her hand a squeeze before withdrawing his own, straightening where he sits with a wince as his bones pop.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She takes her hand back, but she has a very slight smile in place already.]

You shouldn't sleep out here.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean to. I'm surprised no one else woke me, actually.

[it feels odd to be trying to look up in her direction, so he'll scoot over a bit, enough for her to join him on the couch itself rather than just roosting on the arm of it.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't mind sitting where she is, but since he was nice enough to move, she'll scoot onto the actual couch.]

You weren't... watching this, were you?

[The Old Ladies show looks pretty lame.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[that makes him take a moment to actually give the television his attention for the first time since he woke up, his eyebrows hunching together as he listens.]

No... Before I fell asleep there was a movie playing. This doesn't sound anything like it.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

Mm. What were you watc-- listening to?

[She corrects herself quickly, hoping he didn't pick up on that.]
