you can't take me and throw me away.

[quiet, drinking tea at the table of the kitchen with a few shortbread cookies. might seem a little distant, but his voice is up. no stutters, and--there might be a reason. his voice isn't very trained, so there's diction issues, but it's made for Broadway so it's loud and rattling and on pitch.]

I'm falling out--
of grace with the world,
they say I've lost my midas touch;
what turned to gold now turns to rust.
I'm falling out--
of line with all the stars,
that flood my dreams with their guitars and magazines...

Yeah?

[ truth be told, Riku is not one for tea. but it's for Sora's sake, so he'll drink it and not make a face. ]

I- It's good.

[blink, beam.]

That's good. I was hoping things wouldn't affect my cooking.

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

Things?

[ attention caught. is this Sora...? ]

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[slight blink, then he makes a face. hides the pain and just shrugs.]

... s'nothing. Relationship issues.

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

[ must be. ]

Sorry to hear that. I don't know how you feel, but it must be pretty bad.

[he shakes his head slowly, before looking at him and smiling.]

S'fine. I'm okay. If you're an actor, you've gotta get used to rejection.

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

Yeah, stay positive. There are plenty of people out there for you to meet.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[laughs, uneasily.]

Y-yeah.

[ has some more of that tea, though this time his nose wrinkles some. ]

You don't sound so sure, but I don't blame you.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[blinks.]

Soda?

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

No, tea is fine. [ smile is strained. ] I'm okay.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

... if you're sure. But you don't look it.

[frown.]

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

[ waves his hand. ]

I don't want to trouble you more than I have.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

[shakes head, beams.]

--you aren't!

[amnestygranted.livejournal.com]

The tea is enough, I promise.

[chosen-key.livejournal.com]

... [slow nod.]

Okay.
