[there is a certain blond Nobody in the art room, dressed in pale blue slacks and a pristine white sweater. he's standing in front of a wide canvas, pastel covering most of it in an image of Destiny Islands - the main island, not the play one - during the holidays. for those capable of sensing it, he is very much without a Heart.]

Yeah... it will.

[and he likes that. the fact that it will.]

[She glances at him again.]

Can you do me a favor?

Sure?

[he'd do anything for you, Riku~.]

Try not to get in as much trouble as Kai?

[It's almost teasing, how she's smiling as she says this. But she really hopes he's not as much of a danger magnet as Kai is.]

I'll do my best, considering I can't fight.

[he doesn't even know the first thing about fighting, really, even if he's watched it countless times.]

I could teach you.

[Nami would probably make a good mage.]

Would you?

[he seems a bit surprised.]

Sure?

[She does not seem to understand the surprise.]

Alright.

[He's as pleased as he can be about that~. and really, it's just an automatic thing, his reaction.]

You'd be interested?

[Poor guy, she'd run him into the ground.]

Well... the better I can defend myself, the less likely I'll be hurt if I do run into trouble I can't get away from, right?

Exactly. I think this sounds like a good idea.

[And, psh, what better teacher-]

It does.

[well at least he knows she'll be nice. C:]

[Well duh, it's Nami.]

What would you be interested in?

...I don't know. I've never really thought of fighting.

[She glances him up and down -- entirely professionally, I assure you.]

Magic?

I guess that might come to me easier.

[She shrugs.]

It seems like something you'd be skilled in.

If nothing else.

[oh, there's the whole self-deprecating thing he developed from all that stuff before he joined back with Kai. took long enough.]

[She is frowning at him.]

Nami.

What?

[he doesn't even realize what's wrong!]

[She's just looking at him, trying to figure out how to put into words how she feels.]

[which just has him looking confused, not sure why she said his name.]

[She's going to pinch him in the arm and then stuff her hands in her coat pockets like nothing happened.]

[he lets out a small surprised noise and rubs that spot, looking at her in confusion ~~and a teensy bit of hurt. y u hurt me, riku.~~]
