Sora locked his jaw, finishing Kairi's sentence in his mind. Princess. She was about to say that Nathaniel treated her like a princess. Sora could tell by Kairi's silence now that she was sad thinking about it that way, but that had been exactly how it had been. Nathaniel treated her like a princess, because she was one.
xD Oh well, sometimes things are calmer and don't lead up to something major.
Sora took in a soft breath and then released it, not knowing what to say. But then again, maybe he wasn't expected to say anything at all. He hummed softly to let Kairi know that he was listening to her, but other than that, he decided that he should remain silent.
Wait, never came up with anything for what? xD
Sora lowered his head, keeping his eyes shut as he listened to only silence. He felt as if he had nothing to say now, but at the same time, he had everything to say. However, he couldn't put many things into words; he hadn't taken the time to decipher his own feelings over Kairi's betrayal, because he had been so concerned for her safety when Nathaniel was still alive.
Very nice. xP
"I know," Sora said, exhaling a soft breath. He shut his eyes and tried to gather his thoughts again, realizing that the topic of the conversation had shifted away from Kairi. He wanted to fix that, since she needed more help then he did. "But I still wish this didn't happen. I hate to see you hurt, Kairi."
xD I don't know what I expected; I never stopped and thought about how this would go down.
Sora looked down at the ground, leaning forward as he clasped his hands and let his elbows rest on his knees. "This could have been prevented," he said softly. "If I hadn't gone away, then this wouldn't have happened." But...I had no choice, he thought afterward, saddened by the thought. The Heartless were threatening to not only kill innocent people, but also conquer worlds. That couldn't have gone unaddressed.
You mean him giving her a hug or this being sad? xD
"I..." Sora shut his lips, not sure what to say. There was too much to say; too many things that were unspoken between him and Kairi. But for most of the things on his side, it was too soon to bring them up. He could hardly face them himself. He needed to focus solely on Kairi and not hint that he had problems of his own. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this," he said softly, meaning it deeply.
It is. =/ I just want Sora to give her a hug!
Sora shook his head softly, turning his head to gaze forward. "I don't completely agree with that," he said honestly. He had made a lot of mistakes on his side of things. If he hadn't left her in the first place, none of this would have happened. He was partially responsible for Kairi's heartbreak.
=) I think the RP is going well.
Sora's eyes softened, and he immediately felt as if he said something bad. "What did I say wrong?" he asked quietly, tilting his head a little bit so that he could try and see Kairi's eyes. He really was trying hard to make her feel better, but it didn't seem to be working.
Dx ...Anyway, I feel a little better since I talked to you. =) Thanks.
Sora nodded, seeing the anger in Kairi's eyes and hearing it in her voice. After everything, she had a right to be angry. Nathaniel had used the pureness of her heart against her, and that made Sora furious. However, his eyes only showed patience and kindness as he looked at Kairi, the brunet careful not to hurt her worse than she already was. "And I wasn't going to let that happen, either," he said. "When I challenged him and said that you would go with the victor, I did it because I was absolutely positive I would win. I never would have risked your life for real, Kairi."
Annoying, huh? =/
Sora turned to look at Kairi, hearing the heartbreak in her voice. He wasn't doing a very good job comforting her, but he wasn't going to give up; he was going to keep trying to make her feel better. "In the end, though, your light was what allowed you to see what the reality was," he said softly, trying to sooth her. "Even when you were in shock, you trusted me and left him because you sensed his darkness." It also showed that Kairi trusted Sora, even if it was just a little bit. That made him feel a little bit better.
Even more than that, she doesn't seem to understand that life doesn't revolve around her. She's awfully self-centered.
