Sora nodded silently in agreement, keeping his gaze forward. Things weren't perfect, but he really did feel better after talking to Riku. And sitting between his two best friends now somehow made him feel better. He knew he wasn't alone before, but having them on either side of him really made him feel connected to them. It was a good feeling.
Not really. xD After this, aren't we jumping straight to life on Earth? Oh, and I have to go soon. I suddenly can't focus on anything. xP
Leon nodded and rose out of his seat, silently heading towards the door. Like Yuffie, he wasn't sure how they would take the news. But he was about to find out, whether he wanted to or not. He walked out the door and made a right turn, his gut telling him that was the right direction to go. Sora heard the footsteps, but he didn't bother looking over his shoulder. He already knew that it was Roxas just by the way his footsteps sounded.
It's a surprise. xD The news that 2 people can take care of the Heartless and 1 person can go home.
Umm...bad. xD He won't be there for a bad reason.
Leon exhaled a breath, turning to look at Yuffie beside him. "I guess now's as good a time as any to tell them about the message," he said, referring to a letter he had received from King Mickey recently. He had hoped he could wait for things to settle down before sharing the news, but that didn't seem likely, so he would just tell them now.
I think we are. x3 Just one thing I forgot to mention (an aspect I added in myself after these discussions). When Roxas first returns to Earth, he...
Sora clasped his hands together in his lap, his eyes resting on the area in front of him. It felt as if the conversation had ended, and he was alright with that. It had been unpleasant to talk about, which was why he had been avoiding it earlier. But he knew he had made the right decision by opening up to Riku. Leon watched silently, having been focused on his own thoughts during the silence. They concerned Sora, but not only him--his friends, too. He would have to tell them about the message he received from the King, and he had to do it soon.
Yeah, I totally get it. I think when the time comes, we'll be able to act everything out naturally. =) Situation #2: Okie dokie. =) Remember...
Sora nodded faintly, recognizing that although Riku's tone was gentle, he was being completely honest. The brunet appreciated it more than words could express. Lately, he had been feeling as if he knew nothing but lies. But Riku was being truthful, even if he didn't know all the answers. "...I'll have to think about it some more," he declared. He wasn't quite ready to write off that battle as a failure. If he really did have a total breakdown in his mind, then yes, he would call it a loss. But he wouldn't do that until he knew what he was thinking and feeling for sure.
Here's everything I have in word: Alrighty. ;3 One of them is after the whole "Namine is sick" thing. A day or two of Namine being sick, and she...
Sora shook his head slightly. "I guess I failed, then," he said quietly. "I had a mental breakdown during that battle. Ironically, emotions were the only thing that saved me." Normally, emotions made you lose a battle, but today, they had saved his life.
Um...I guess 2 days after Roxas is home, he'll go see Kairi and meet her new boyfriend and then he'll come back to see Namine and have a fight...
Sora glanced over at Riku briefly before he looked forward again. "That's only physical strength," he reminded his friend realistically. "Mental and emotional strength are totally different." He shook his head slightly, gazing upward at the sky. "Honestly, I'm not sure which of those is the most important." He may have had the physical strength to fight through a thousand Heartless, but his mental state was what had nearly destroyed him down there. And his emotions had saved him. It was strange, factoring everything together like that, but that was exactly how things were.
Yeah. Dx Whoa, that's intense. =) I like it. I just came up with something as well, but we wouldn't be able to do both ideas. =/ I was pretty...
Sora turned his head forward, gazing ahead once he finished listening to Riku's words. "I guess I am," he said, though his voice didn't show total certainty. This second visit was really dragging him down, but Riku obviously had faith that he would conquer whatever that place had thrown at him. That was enough to lift his spirits a little bit.
I couldn't find anything like that in my notes. Dx But maybe I just forgot to put that in. It would be inside? 0.o That would pretty much destroy...
Sora shook his head slightly at the words. "But at what price?" he asked, finally turning his head to look at Riku. "I almost lost everything there. The only reason that I was okay after that was because of whatever you did while I was asleep and because of Namine." He exhaled a breath through his nose, blinking at the thought of Namine. Whenever he thought about her now, his emotions got a bit...complicated. But given time, he was sure he could get them back to normal, since he truly loved Kairi.
If We've Ever Needed You- Casting Crowns
I'll look up my notes right now and get back to you. xD Oh? Do tell!
