The world has moved, be quick enough to not miss it now

[atenderbruise]

[Light might be seen flooding beneath one of the many doors in the dressing room, slowly fading away when the door was opened to reveal a new old arrival. He was going through the motions without taking in the new environment, bustling in to the hallway with grocery bags in his arms and making a move to drop his keys on a counter that wasn't...there.]

Roxas, I'm back from the-

[Eyebrows furrowed over mismatched eyes that moved around the hall with a short turn of the head. A worried look took over his face before changing to one of bafflement while his eyes widened as he dropped all of the groceries in his arms.]

This is.....

[He leaned back against the nearest wall, shaking his head.]

But I thought...that it was all just a-a dream.

[It was a little overwhelming to adjust from being thrown in to this strange place then pulled back to his own world, universe, whatever it was-just to end up being pulled back again. He couldn't tell whether he should be relieved or scared, but he knew he was hopeful to see a familiar face. With that in mind, he tried to calm the storm inside himself and began to collect a few apples and oranges that had spilled out of some of the bags from the impact. The remedial task was certainly helping him rebuild his composure anyway...Okay Sora, deep breath. Just..get this done, find a kitchen to put everything away in and then...we'll figure out where to go from there.]

[She's quiet for a moment, perhaps wondering how to explain.]

...There are, lots of different worlds there. I haven't seen a lot of them. I only started traveling recently.

[atenderbruise]

Er...

[Now he's gone quiet, pursing his lips while he scrambled for a different question.]

Well, what was your home like, you know, the area where you grew up?

((Sorry for the late reply, honey. ))

Heh. It's fine ^^ Things have been busy lately anyway. I haven't had much time to tag anyway.

[Shakes her head.]

I didn't. I'm just a Nobody without a Heart of my own. I came into...Well, I wouldn't call it existence..When the Sora of my world released his and Kairi's Hearts. I was then "born" at Castle oblivion, as I am now. I didn't have a childhood. I didn't grow up. This is what I am.

:'>

[atenderbruise]

Oh, I'm..sorry. Forgive me, I didn't mean to assume...I..I didn't mean....

[If he could shove his own foot in his mouth, he would.]

[claimedbydark]

[She blinks, not understanding why he's apologizing...Then offers the tiniest of smiles.]

Don't apologize. It's alright. Like I said, this is what I am. I have never really known anything different, so it's not like I can miss it. I'm content as I am.

[atenderbruise]

Ah right, of course...

[That smile did ease his worries a bit..]

I guess that's true.

[He gave a brief nod, lifting his eyes to glance around the hallway as they walked.]

..Have you made many friends here?

[claimedbydark]

[She's such a good little actress isn't she?]

..No. Not really. I mostly keep to myself. It's safer, since I don't have a way to defend myself if I were to be attacked.

[atenderbruise]

[Yes, indeed.]

Ah, I felt the same way when I first ended up here.

[But he was sorely mistaken, there was strength in numbers. The more friends he made, the better off he was.]

Would you mind having one then?

[Yes, he meant himself.]

I can be of use, I hope, I used to have a pretty good power in this place, but that's if I can find my paintbrush..

[And now he's mumbling to himself..]

[claimedbydark]

[He takes her by surprise again. He wants to be her friend? But why? What would he have to gain by being friends with someone like her?

She doesn't understand.]


....Why?

[atenderbruise]

[He was a bit taken aback by that, laughing softly.]

I think the real question here is 'why not'?

[Smiles.]

You have been nothing but kind to me and I don't have many friends as well. It's only if you'll have me.

[He wasn't going to force a friendship with someone if they didn't want him as a friend.]

[claimedbydark]

[She's quiet for several moments, thinking...Before she nods.]

I suppose so. I don't really see why not.

[It certainly couldn't hurt.]
