You made it back on, I see. =)
Sora looked over at Riku, a little surprised at the praise. Riku wasn't one to give out free compliments, which made it much more special when he did say something like that. "Thanks," he said, giving his friend a small nod and a weak smile. But he and Riku probably both knew that not everything was solved. Yes, he defeated a thousand Heartless all by himself, but fighting didn't solve all your problems.
Sora turned around and headed after Roxas, walking a little more slowly than his best friend. The cure spell had healed most of his wounds and given him strength to make it back, but he was still tired. And he didn't really feel like seeing Leon face to face; this whole thing had brought out a lot of anger with him, and he felt in a daze now. It was an unpleasant feeling, and he couldn't help but pin the blame on Leon, since he was the one who sent him down to the battlefield and then abandoned him.
Alrighty, see you either tonight or tomorrow. =)
Sora chuckled slightly at Roxas's words, even if they weren't meant to be funny. "At least I'll make it to Merlin's now," he said, bringing a hand to the back of his head and running it over his spikes. He had been so weak before, he hadn't known if he could make it to the top of the hill. But thanks to his friends, he had the strength to make it to a safe haven.
I think I can stay awake. If not, I'll check in throughout the afternoon/morning tomorrow and see if I can catch you.
From his spot on the cliff, Leon frowned. Sora needed to not depend on his friends so much; there were times where you ended up alone and you had to deal with pain. I suppose that's one lesson that he won't be learning today, he thought, his eyes remaining serious as he watched the situation. Sora shut his eyes when he felt the warming yet cooling feeling run over his body. A breath left him as his shoulders slumped out of their tensed positions, the brunet feeling the stinging of the cuts and the aching of the bruises fade away significantly.
Okay, no big deal. Any idea when you'll be on tomorrow? Or, if you'll be back even later tonight?
Sora stopped as Riku requested and turned around, hands in loose fists by his sides. As soon as Riku spoke to Roxas, he knew what he was thinking of. And the summoning of their blades confirmed it. Unless, of course, they were going to test him and put him through yet another battle. A ridiculous notion, but he was thinking out every possible scenario now since Leon had given him an unpleasant surprise with the battle he had just fought through.
Sora nodded slightly at Roxas' words, leaving his own thoughts behind. There would be plenty of time for thinking later; right now, he just wanted to get out of this canyon. He started walking slowly in the direction he himself had come from, his eyes noticing Leon and Yuffie standing at the top of the cliff.
Okay, see you later!
When Sora was upright, he clenched his empty right hand into a fist, summoning away the Keyblade that had been standing upright in the ground. There was no more need for that, thank goodness. Actually, he didn't know if that was the end of things. It was possible he would still see Heartless once he was out of this canyon, but he felt as if his friends would cover for him in those fights. Then again, they hadn't come down and helped him when he had to fight off a thousand...He exhaled a breath and looked down, eyebrows furrowed both at the thought and at his own exhaustion. He felt as if he weren't thinking straight, so he didn't feel upset over his own serious thoughts.
Okie dokie, sounds like a plan. =)
Sora looked down slightly, seeing Riku set his hand in a place so that he could help him up. The brunet released a breath and let go of the Keyblade with that hand, willing to let Riku give him a hand. For once, he was alright with depending on his friends instead of relying on his own strength. He didn't know why that was, but he didn't question it.
How's this for now: If we don't catch each other before our old normal time (I guess that would be around 4:30ish for me, 3:30ish for you), then...
Sora lifted his head and looked over at Riku, still breathing heavily due to the long, hard battle. "Fine," he said breathlessly, meeting Riku's eyes. He wasn't sure what kinds of emotions would be showing in his own bright blue orbs; he was too tired to comprehend what he was feeling. "Hm," Leon hummed, nodding slightly. He kept his eyes on the teens down there, seeing Sora still on the ground. He could tell the kid wasn't seriously hurt. Sora was probably just exhausted, both because of the battle and because he had just been unconscious for two days. Sora may have conquered a physical battle today, but what about the mental struggle? There was no way to tell at this point.
Yeah, that's a bit tricky. xD I've got a few things coming up too, so come to think of it, I couldn't set any times in stone, either.
Sora lowered his head and shut his eyes, wincing faintly at both the pain of the wounds he received in battle and the tiredness he felt. He thought he heard footsteps coming toward him, but he didn't pay attention to them, for he could tell that the sounds weren't created by Heartless or Nobodies.
Any ideas? It doesn't really matter to me; I can get on any time since I have my laptop. x3
Sora panted where he sat, staying still as the silence engulfed him. For all the anger he had during battle, he didn't have any more now. He had either fought it all out or he was too exhausted to feel anything at all. He believed it was the latter, for his anger against the Organization was too great for him to get out on only two hundred Heartless.
