[The first opening she finds, she's going to throw Red into it. A door, an open window, anything that the spider wouldn't be able to easily get into. Once that's done, she turns around to face it.]

[He'll still be unconscious when she gets back to him, laying awkwardly on the floor just inside a window, in a position that would probably be painful for most people. The spider seems pretty angry now, and completely ignores Red to try and sink its fangs into Riku.]

[Oh no you don't. She's had enough of teeth and claws and injuries for the rest of the year. She brings Way to Dawn up to block that, firing another dark aura at close range.]

[Aside from being incredibly large, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly odd about it. It'll go down pretty easily once she's got her attention entirely on it!]

[Good, because her side is already bleeding a little from catching Red before. If she gets another opportunity to go for a good stab right in the middle, she will. Otherwise it'll be all combos.]

[And it will be downed easily, collapsing with a groundshaking thud. Red is still unconscious in that building she tossed him in.]

[Stupid spiders. Well, she'd better go wake him up, he might be interested in the corpse. She'll just casually dismiss her keyblade and then turn around and run back to the window at top speed like his life depends on it. It's too late for that, anyway. But she makes it into the building and then over to Red, who will be rolled fully onto his back and removed of any leftover webbing that may have stuck around.]

[He seems entirely unharmed, though still unconscious for whatever reason!]

[She's going to check his pulse and settle down beside him, wondering what she should do. She settles on reaching out and shaking his shoulders, an action that will progress from gentle to almost violent the longer he stays unconscious.]

Wake up.

[Careful there, Riku, you're going to give him whiplash! Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye.

You've rescued your damsel, so what comes next?]

[She doesn't know. She can't explain why he won't wake up unless he's been bitten by that spider, which he certainly doesn't seem to be, or if something's wrong with his Heart. That doesn't seem to be the case either, so she waits. She waits several minutes, in fact, then leans down and presses her lips against his.]

[There's a moment where it seems like it's not going to work, but then his eyes slowly open and he blinks up at her in confusion for a moment.]

[She jerks back up in surprise, because she didn't actually think that would do anything, but then she's down again to kiss him properly, her hands going to his face. This one is a better kiss, a real kiss, and hopefully he enjoys it because she's going to kick his ass once it's over.]

[He is quite surprised as well, but returns the kiss readily. This is quite the welcome back!]

[Aaaand it's over when Riku pulls away, hands on the floor on either side of him and an absolute scowl on her face.]

What the hell were you thinking?

[He grimaces, because that was more what he'd been expecting.]

I wasn't?

Did you realize you had no chance of surviving before or after you got involved?

[She pulls so he can sit up, but her expression doesn't change.]

I didn't really think about it.

[He just... saw her being attacked and reacted.]

[Her posture is tense, but it's more of a 'something hurts' tense than anger. She puts her hand over her face.]

Why? Didn't you know then what he was capable of?

Not entirely, but I wasn't exactly underestimating him.

[He was expecting this part. Her being angry over what he did. He wouldn't be surprised if she stayed angry for a while, nor would he blame her for it.]

I just stopped thinking once I saw the two of you.

[She's quiet for a moment, then pushes her hands back through her hair, staring off to the side.]

Well, he let me live. I don't know if it's because he wanted me to suffer for the scar or from watching you die, but he left.

...Sorry.

[Okay, maybe he feels a little bad.]

...yeah, you should be. It's not like he would have caught your scent after whatever happened with us and killed you anyway, just to get at me.

[She looks back at him and sighs.]

It's not worth surviving if I have to watch you die for it.

I'll keep that in mind.

[......At least he didn't feel it, right?]

[That really doesn't make things any better! She curls her fingers around the ends of her sleeves, at a loss now. He's back. What does she do now?]

You've been gone for a couple weeks.
