riku

(no subject)

[ 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. ]

[is she ready for the inevitable change of plans that will come with Axel's name appearing on her phone as it starts ringing? because inviting him along to the beach might work, but then she'd have to put up with him being skittish and jumpy and no one wants that.]

[It's always something. She stops walking to pull her phone out of her pocket, and she's a little surprised to see who pops up. It's probably a little obvious in her voice, too, when she answers.]

Hello?

[This Riku just happens to be passing by, on his way back home from the apartment complex. He himself has a bag--just one, though--partially full of stuff he raided from a refrigerator in one of the kitchens.

Stopping to see what you're doing, girlself.]

Going on a trip?

[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.]

[When she reaches the docks, she'll find a small boat with a pair of reddened legs sticking out from under a collapsed sail; someone appears to have given up their battle with the thing in favor of a nap.]

[...oh good job. She stops and releases the handle of the wagon, letting the backpack slide off of her shoulder so she can drop it on the ground. She makes her way over in silence, just to lift up the sail and check to make sure he's not comatose or something.]

Hey.

[There's a definite snore from the Sora revealed when she lifts the sail. He's sprawled in the bottom of the boat as if he were in his own bed, and the sound of Riku's voice has him reaching out in his sleep to attempt to pull her in with him.]

...Where are you going?

Across the ocean.

["Figure it out yourself."]

[She catches an arm with one hand, leaning back as she eyes him. Well, good, he's alive and apparently healthy. No head wounds, then?]

Sora?

You sound surprised.

[the background noise sounds like he's doing dishes or something. MORE MYSTERIES.]

[So domestic. How is there enough house for you and Kai, really.]

Maybe. How often do I get a phonecall from you?

[and our Riku, and sometimes Nami!]

Not often, I know. I just wanted to see if you felt like coming over for that pancake and movie date. Kai and Riku just went out for a while, and I'm making pancakes right now whether you come over or not.

[Oh god. It's never dirty, is it? Riku goes quiet for a moment, like she's thinking about it. Which she is. She has plans, but they were on a whim, sort of. Not something she needs to do immediately.]

Yeah, sure. I'll head over.

[WELL... no, it's only ever dirty once in a while in Axel's fantasies.]

You sure? I don't want to bug you if you were going to do something else.

[Not that kind of dirty!]

Nah, this can wait. I'd rather come hang out. Mind if I store something while I'm there?

[ :( ]

Sure, that's fine. Just come on in when you get here, the door's unlocked.

Alright. I'm on my way.

[Honestly, it won't be long. All she has to do is turn herself around and head back the way she came. With how fast she walks, it won't even be ten minutes.]

Awesome, see you in a few.

[and then he hangs up. Apricot will be waiting on the front steps when Riku arrives!]

[Apricot will get a great big hello in the form of pettings. She does knock, but opens the door anyway and peers inside.]

Axel?

[Apricot says hey it's not raining today pick me up love meeeeee. when Axel responds, it's from the kitchen.]

In here!

[Oh fine. She'll crouch down and haul him up in her arms before she heads toward the kitchen. The door is left open so she can unload the wagon so nothing gets stolen.]

Hey.

[there's a small explosion of pancake ingredients and things on the table, and a larger explosion of flour on Axel's shirt. there's a smear of something that looks like smashed blueberry on one side of his face, too, when he looks up at her from the cookbook he's got open.]

Hey. Good to see someone else is as much a slave to him as I am.
