I have faith in you. ;3 You'll figure something out.
Sora whirled around at Riku's tone, his eyes widening when he looked past him and saw Roxas. He instantly moved around Riku and to Roxas' side, setting a hand on his shoulder. "Easy, man," he said, looking at his friend with concern. He didn't know what was going on here, and that only elevated his worry.
I have no ideas either. xP Good luck figuring it out!
When they finished walking the incline, Sora turned around to face his taller friend. "I figured we would head to the very top of Pride Rock," he started. "Last time I was here, a lot of Heartless gathered up there." It was strange, no matter how many times he went up there on his last journey, the Heartless just kept coming back.
Exactly. xD
Sora looked over at the female lions, and they looked back. A few of them moved a step closer, looking like they were smiling. Sora smiled back at them, glad to see that his different form wasn't going to be a problem. He walked past a cave entrance and up another path, eyes wandering to that so that he wouldn't lose his footing and do something stupid.
We'll wing it. xP
Sora looked over his shoulder, seeing Riku a bit tense. "They're friends," he said calmly. He held the Keyblade lightly in his hand, but it wasn't because he felt there would be any fights; it was just another way that his former friends could identify him. After all, not many people came around wielding Keyblades.
I'm not sure exactly. xD Just stuff to fix things between them. Maybe discussion on Roxas' life in the Organization. Stuff like that.
Sora continued up, hearing a few lions up ahead before he could see them. That didn't surprise him; they often roamed the area when he was here before. For some reason, he was sure his visit in human form wouldn't create any problems--his voice and eyes were enough to identify him. That, and probably the scent that only animals could pick up.
I hope so. xP
Sora was the first to get off the grassy turf of the field and head up to the stone lifting known as Pride Rock. It looked green and fresh compared to when he was last here, and he was very glad for that. When he had left before, things had just been taking a turn for the better. It was good to see that things hadn't fallen apart.
Haha you should have just asked!
Sorry about that. xP Hope you remember the question!
Sora felt his shoulders slump, a heavy breath leaving him. He just wanted this to end...all of it. Not just Roxas' weird behavior, but the fighting in general. It had already been a month, and his heart was aching for home. No, more than that--Kairi. He missed her so much, and he was so worried about what he was missing. But at the same time, he knew the work he was doing was necessary. The Heartless really were growing stronger, and countless times in battle, Sora was reminded that Riku couldn't handle this on his own. He would do what was necessary, even if it was with a heavy heart.
Sora walked forward with a heavy heart, keeping his eyes forward. He didn't want to think about Roxas' slip-ups. Something was up, and it hurt him a bit that Roxas wouldn't speak to him about it. Soon, he'd have to press the issue, because Roxas' irrational behavior really was putting them all in danger. At first it hadn't been that bad, but these days it was enough to make Sora stay within five feet of his friend during battle. He hoped that Riku didnt' notice just how tired physically Sora was from always defending Roxas and taking out enough Heartless for the two of them. But he knew Riku noticed; his friend wasn't an idiot.
The two of them could get into a small verbal arguement about who would help Sora, but Sora yells at them for acting so ridiculous and just tells...
Sora kept his eyes open, but his gut was telling him that most of the Heartless had been in the Graveyard. They had fought there for a long time, most of the enemies being defeated by Sora and Riku. Thinking back to Roxas, Sora remembered just how many times he had to stick out his own neck during battle. Roxas would randomly miss a blow and end up hit, but Sora was always there to back him up. Often times he would end up with worse injuries than Roxas did just because when he hurried in to protect his friend, his fighting got a lot more offensive and his defense was weaker. Still, though, he figured that he would do whatever it took to protect his friend while he was distracted and unable to watch his own back.
As soon as Riku and Roxas reailze what happened (which would be right away), they would rush down to assist him. I had this idea that all the...
Sora walked forward through the open landscape, heading towards the main part of Pride Rock. Not only was Roxas hesitant to join a conversation, but he was also lagging in battle. One time, Riku had spoken to Sora about that, saying that Roxas was holding them back and endangering himself. But Sora had been clear with protecting his friend's honor; he assured Riku that Roxas was more help than a menace, and that if anything went wrong, Sora would be the one to back up his Nobody.
