[leans his arms on the couch and watches Naminé draw. Because he can.]

[doesn't notice him at first, but jumps when she does]

M-Marluxia--

[still working on that being scared thing. not having much progress either.]

[just raises an eyebrow.]

Disregard my presence. Please, continue.

[nods shakily]

All-- all right.

[looks back down at her drawing, adding more lines]

[watches idly.]

What is it going to be?

[so much for "disregard my presence."]

[she totally needs those heart attacks she gets every time you say something.]

I... I'm not sure yet. I'm not drawing anything in particular...

Mm. It'll be beautiful, whatever it ends up as.

[surprised by the praise]

...Thank you.

[just smiles/smirks faintly]

Should it be such a surprise? Naminés are...rather unchanging regardless of the universe they come from.

[clearly you haven't met the ones with keyblades.]

I- I guess so?

[still half-waiting for her to say something wrong]

[watches, and then goes and sits beside her to eliminate the looming-over-her-shoulder feeling. Not that this is any better, no.]

[still drawing, t-trying not to freak out.

intimidated? of course not.]

[watches. Notes the scars and the remnants of healed bruises.]

You should wear something else. Those are fairly noticeable.

[creepy.]

Ah... okay. I'll look for something else later?

[nods. After that, silence. Just observing Naminé as she's drawing.]

[using bright colors, but the whole page is covered in doodles that look more wistful and sad than anything]

[Notes that, but doesn't say anything, letting her draw without interruption. At least...that of the verbal nature. He's still there, after all.]

[at least she's stopped shaking with fear everytime she saw a Marluxia, though she's still a bit scared.]

[watches for a while longer, and then gets up. Trust is to be earned one little piece at a time, especially with this Naminé.]

I'll see you late, Naminé.

[looks up, unable to completely disguise her relief]

S-see you later...

[Relieved look is filed away in his mind as he nods and walks away.]

[was passing by, but notices he's about to go into what could be her view and waits, awkwardly making sure he doesn't... mess her up or anything.]

[notices him after a moment, and looks up; smiling tentatively]

Uh...hi?

Uh, you're not... doing any observational drawings I should be worried about? I'm not messing up your space or anything?

[he's waving his hands around a little wildly with his words.]

[shakes her head]

No, not at all. I'm just doodling.

[sigh of relief.]

Okay. Just--y'know, wondering.

[across he goes, avoiding eye contact for the most part.]

[and hey, she's not going to stop him.]

Hey! Naminé! [runs up and sits beside her, peering over her shoulder for a glance of what she's working on]

[j-jumps before she sees who it is]

O-oh! H-hi, Sora.

[he might see some brightly colored, sad little sketches of the Trio with her, though it's clear she doesn't belong in the drawings.]

Wow, that's really good. Is that you 'n me, Riku and Kairi? [grins] But, where's Roxas? Doesn't he get to hang out with us, too?

[shy smile]

T-thanks...

I didn't think of adding Roxas. [scribble scribble, and there's a Roxas in one of the sketches]

Now, it's perfect. [epiphany] You should draw me a picture that I can keep with me, of all of us! I'd like to have my friends with me all the time. Do you mind?

S-sure.

[turns to a new page and starts working; in a few minutes she's got a rough sketch of a happier drawing]

L-like this?

[peers over shoulder and grins REALLY BIG] Yeah, that's great! Exactly like that.

[has to smile at that, but says nothing, just keeps working.

once she's done she tears the page from her sketchbook]

H-here you go!

Thanks a bunch, Naminé! Now, I know I'll never forget my friends again. [lol have a big hug]

[w-whoa she's not really sure how to respond to that, so just...hugs back awkwardly]

It's no problem, I'm glad you like it.

[lets go] You're a really good artist.

[so not used to people being this nice to her]

Th-thank you. [a little red]

(look who's here! he would ruffle her hair, but she's so focused on drawing, so he sits down in a chair next to the couch)

Hey, how're you doing?

[ooc: fff sorry it took so long to reply, I was setting up a new account]

[looks up and smiles, recognizing him]

I'm doing pretty good. And you?

((it's okay, I was just doing that myself XD))

Pretty good. Met some people, wrote some stuff, ate some toast, the typical stuff.

(that actually is a quite typical day for him)

[ooc: yay ♥ ]

Sounds like fun.

It is. Especially the toast. It's my favorite part of the day!

(by the way he's grinning, it's obvious he's joking)

[smiling back]

I can see why. Breakfast's the most important part of the day and all, right?

Yep, without it, I'm incomplete! I'm liver-less!

(said with mock horror)

[hey, was that a giggle?]

Oh no!
