[The simulation room is full of the sounds of combat today, but that's not very unusual. In fact, nothing about this scene is really unusual at all. Just another Roxas looking to blow off steam, from the looks of it. The setting is a bit of an odd pick for a Roxas though- the room is currently set up to look like the Keyblade Graveyard, though his simulated opponents are just heartless.]

[What's also unusual, is a Namine with a keyblade. Did you know she was training under Aqua? Either way, she's walking in with Bright Crest in hand. She's not jumping in or anything, though if any heartless decide to attack her, she will.]

[illumifated]

[You've been busy, sis. Not that he notices immediately, still finishing off this wave of heartless. At least he isn't in sheepy pajamas this time- Roxas even seems to have found a new organization coat to replace the lost one.]

[orchidenchanted]

[She still prefers his twilight town wear :<]

[illumifated]

[So does he, sometimes. Once the last wave finishes, he looks up.]

Hey.

[orchidenchanted]

[She gives him a small smile, keyblade at her side while she walks over to him.]

You okay?

[illumifated]

...Yeah. Just blowing off some steam.

[Siiigh. He looks curious about that keyblade though.]

How long have you had that?

[orchidenchanted]

Huh?

[She follows his gaze, then lets out a laugh, dismissing it.]

A while. Aqua started training me after I got into a little too much trouble.

[illumifated]

[Nooo don't talk about getting in trouble, you;ll just worry him.]

You're okay now, aren't you?

[orchidenchanted]

Yes, I'm fine. I can take care of myself now.

[And she's immediately moving in to hug him. Still hasn't caught up on all those she missed.]

[fromshadow]

[he had just peeked in to see who was fighting, but since it's someone he knows, he's stopping to watch.]

[illumifated]

[Nothing much to see, just a frustrated Roxas taking it out on fake heartless.]

[fromshadow]

[he's wondering what exactly is frustrating him so much, but he's not about to interrupt. so he'll just be here until Roxas decides to stop, or at least notices him or something.]

[illumifated]

[Don't worry, he's nearly finished. When the last of the heartless are gone, he dismisses both keyblades and slowly exhales.]

[fromshadow]

Hey.

[he doesn't move from where he is, hands in his pockets.]

[illumifated]

[And he goes from exhale to tense again, turning around.]

...Hey.

[fromshadow]

...Should I go?

[if he'd known he would make Roxas just tense up again, he wouldn't have stuck around.]

[illumifated]

[It's not a bad tense. Anxious might be a better word.]

Not unless you want to. Did you want the simulation room?

[twilit_kid]

[Little kid walking past the door in pajamas? Why not. Said pajamas are pretty dirty at the footies, and not even on all the way, only half-zipped. His hair is a mess and looks like it has a streak of chocolate in it, and he's trailing a matching blanket.]

how did I just see this ;;

[illumifated]

[Lucky for you, Roxas has stopped training by now. And is coming over looking a little startled.]

...Riku?

/paps

[twilit_kid]

[He looks like he just woke from a nap! Which may explain the way he tilts his head at Roxas a bit. It's been a while, and Roxas isn't as easily identified as as certain Riku with the time that's passed.]

Rox...as?

[illumifated]

[He feels bad enough at being gone so long, don't worry. His expression softens as he kneels down.]

Hey. Where've you been?

[twilit_kid]

Sleepin'. You're all sweaty.

[Stating the obvious here, since of course Roxas was just training. He's still looking at Roxas a little funny.]

[illumifated]

Yeah, I know. Does Riku know you're back?

[twilit_kid]

Where did I go?

[He's been in the DR the whole time. Really. It's a wonder he still has his Heart with the places he's been.]

[illumifated]

...He thought you'd gone home. Have you been here all along?

[Oh lord when Riku finds out you've been wandering around alone this whole time--]
