Day 44 [video]

[seasaltkeys]

[The video opens on Roxas. He looks a bit worn out and kind of slumped.]

For anyone who has a Joltik, just so you know. They get bigger when they evolve.

[He lifts to camera up to show a Galvantura sitting happily on Roxas's head while Sparky is chattering at him to get down. The Galvantura shows no signs of moving, but rather settles in further, it's front legs coming down in front of Roxas's face. He attempts to brush them out of the way to no avail.]

A lot bigger.


[Private Text to Namine]

I was thinking we should head out to Kanto soon. Is that alright?

[Private Text to Sora]

Answer this if you're awake. Also, don't bother getting a bike. They suck.

[seasaltkeys]

Well, yeah. They are, but do you know how to ride one?

[Because if you do, it wasn't a skill you passed on. Roxas has had bad experiences with bikes in the past.]

private

[heartdive]

Yeah I know how to ride one. Don't you?

private

[seasaltkeys]

No.

[But not for lack of trying.]

I'd rather skateboard.

private

[heartdive]

Is that really what you wanted to have a private talk about?

private

[seasaltkeys]

No.

[You just distracted him. He'll be over here sulking about the bike thing for a bit.]

Just. You feel asleep.

I figured I should make sure you're alright.

private

[heartdive]

I've been awake for like three weeks now. I woke up before Ven and Vanitas did.

private

[seasaltkeys]

Oh.

I guess I must have missed it. Sorry.

private

[heartdive]

Heh heh. Don't worry about it.

private

[seasaltkeys]

That's about it really. I wanted to make sure you were alright.

[Because as grumpy as he can be, he does worry about Sora.]

private

[heartdive]

Hee hee. I'm fine now.

I have Riku and my friends looking out for me. Then I have you guys looking out for me in my heart.

But I still stand by what I said. That's why I'm really glad you're hear and that I can talk to you like this.

private

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, well. I don't plan on going anywhere.

private

[heartdive]

Did you sleep at all?

private

[seasaltkeys]

No. Well, I slept regularly. I didn't go home or anything.

private

[heartdive]

Oh.

Guess I can't ask you that thing then.

private

[seasaltkeys]

What thing?

private

[heartdive]

I saw you when I was asleep. You told me something and I was going to ask about it.

private

[seasaltkeys]

Why? What did I say?

[Curious Roxas is curious.]

private

[heartdive]

You said that it had to be me.

private

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas figures that he's probably missing some context, and there's a bit of a pause as he tries to figure out what he might mean by that.]

I don't think I can give you an answer right now. Sorry.

private

[heartdive]

I thought so. That's okay, I can wait.

[ another pause. ]

Um... Roxas?

private

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah?

private

[heartdive]

I'm really sorry.

Re: private

[seasaltkeys]

About what, specifically?

[He'll take the apology, but it would be nice to know what for.]

private

[heartdive]

For all the bad stuff that had to have happened. It hurt so much and none of it was right.

private

[seasaltkeys]

No. It wasn't.

[And while the pain of it all is fading after two years, he still can't deny the stabs of resentment he feels.]

But thanks.
