[ It looks like Riku's packed to go on a trip, dragging what would be a small truckload of items in a wagon down the street. Paper bags, mostly, with a heavy backpack secured over one shoulder. It's a particularly warm summer evening, and she's wearing a pair of baggy shorts with an equally loose t-shirt. One that falls off of her shoulders to reveal the yellow straps of what's probably a bathing suit underneath. But swimming isn't in her plans.

Now, there aren't many places to travel to in that particular kind of attire, and her destination is fairly predictable. She's heading toward the docks, after all. That being said, she's probably willing to take along some company. ]

[She doesn't stop walking, but she does glance his way and slow down.]

A short one.

[He's going to follow~.]

With all that stuff?

Yeah. I'm not going far.

[In the grand scheme of things.]

...Where are you going?

Across the ocean.

["Figure it out yourself."]

That's not a short trip.

[And no, that's why he's asking the questions. Attempting to check out what's in the bags in the wagon now.]

I'll be back tomorrow. Probably by morning. It's not a long trip back and forth.

[She doesn't mind. He'll see spices! And cooking supplies. But mostly spices (he'll get a nose-full), herbs, fruits and vegetables and a couple other things.]

[Yeah, he definitely smelled the spices. But didn't actually bother to see what kinds before he went on to check out the other stuff.]

Unless something out there decides your boat smells good and tries to eat it.

[That almost makes her laugh.]]

I guess that's possible.

Could be. I don't know what's even out there.

[He's been here for months and hasn't been further out than the shoreline. Fail.]

The islands. A couple other places.

[She shrugs. She hasn't been out there too many times herself.]

Yeah, you can see the islands from the beach.

[He's assuming they're both talking about the DI islands. He's tempted to ask if he can go along with her wherever she's going, but isn't sure how to ask without sounding weird.]

[By all means, come along for the ride. She won't find it weird.]

Exactly. Maybe I'm feeling homesick.

[That's sarcasm.]

[Sarcasm detected.]

Right.

Hey, do you mind if I tag along with you? Wherever you're going?

[Feel free to kick him out of the boat if he bugs you.]

[The question catches her off guard. She pauses to think about it, then shrugs.]

Sure. I'm going to Destiny Islands.

Ah. I was going to guess that next.

[Actually, he figured that's where she was headed after she said she'd be back the next morning.]

So are you coming?

[She doesn't care, she just doesn't want to wait around for nothing.]

Yeah, I am.

[Ladies ~~and wagons~~ first.]

Then you can help me load up.

[Smirk. She's not going to just set the wagon itself in the boat. Fortunately, there really isn't that much, but he can still help once they've reached the dock.]

[Like he wouldn't? He'd help if she hadn't said anything, if just to avoid standing around awkwardly. Once they have reached the dock, he'll be grabbing an armful of bags.]

[Oh swoon. Except not really. She'll grab the rest and load them up!]

[He is going to be very careful with the bags he grabbed because he'd rather not have anything happen to any of them and face her wrath.

But he does get into the boat safely and settles with his bags, including the one he originally had when he met up with her. He's tossed it in one of the bags he grabbed.]

[Once everything's loaded she drops her backpack in, then unties the boat from the dock and drops into the boat herself.]

[He leans over to push the boat away from the dock a little once she's in. He'll leave it to her to drive the boat, since she knows exactly where she's going.]

[She will get right to it once she's settled! They'll be moving in no time. C'mon, she's known how to do this since she was a toddler.]
