Hey, Roxas. Is it okay if I bring over the charm I made? I...actually made you one too. Not quite the same as Sora's, but. I figured if you helped me with it, you deserved one too. Just let me know when and where to meet up with you?

Uh...yeah, it's fine. Um, we actually better meet somewhere else because Sora's home so, how about the ice cream parlour?

And you didn't have to do that.

Ooooh, ice cream! We can get some and I can show you! Best idea, Roxas! I know I didn't. But I wanted to. I kind of brought too much supplies in just making Sora's, since I wanted to practice to get it looking nice, so. It's fine!

I'll be there soon.

[Well, he's not going to say no to ice cream. He's not really sure what to say in response to that though.]

Alright then. I'll meet you there.

[It doesn't take her long, using those legs of hers to run there to meet him, in anticipation of catching up, and having ice cream, on top of showing him what she had made. All of it combined has her evidently excited, bubbles already announcing her arrival once she approaches.]

Roxas! What flavor were you thinking?

[...There is so many! Ariel peers at the selection, trying to decide.]

Uh...I don't know.

[He has sea salt now so it's hard to break with tradition. Plus he knows he can't trust some of the more creative flavours here.]

I was just thinking something simple, like strawberry or something.

Strawberry! I'll get one too then!

[Honestly, she is new to a lot of the foods around, so Ariel is willing to try most anything at least once. So she goes with ordering the same as Roxas, digging into her pocket for the payment and handing him one of the two keychains.]

There. W-what do you think? It came out okay?

[Roxas shakes he's head. He'll pay for them.

After that, he'll examine the keychain.]

Yeah! It looks great.

[Certainly better than he could do, anyway.]

Good. I tried a couple of practice ones before these, to get the hang of it better. I just wanted to know if you thought they looked okay, if they work.

[With the Keyblade. But then she stops and realizes even if she knows Roxas is from Sora's home, he isn't necessarily also able to wield one, as far as she knows. Maybe she assumed too much? But she does thank him and the staff for the ice cream.]

Yeah, they look great.

I guess we could test it, but I don't know if it would do anything.

[He'll at least wait until they're out of the shop before letting his keyblade flash into existence. Oathkeeper variety.]

[Once they get their ice cream and head out, she pauses in licking hers, blinking when she sees that familiar flash of light. So Roxas did have one too! That might help a lot, figuring if these might work with the Keyblades or not. Certainly, one made by a Princess would still be powerful, if not a Princess of Heart, exactly.]

Roxas, you....?! Okay, so if this works, Sora's should when I give him his!

Yeah, I've got one to. [Two actually, but that's all he's going to say about that.]

But yeah, that should be the case. I guess I'll give it a shot.

[He's never actually done this before, but it's got to be like changing gears like he used to, right? The last time his keyblades had changed, it had been automatic, if he recalled correctly. Granted, a lot of that time is fuzzy.

Still, he attaches the keychain. There's a flash and Roxas finds himself holding the Crabclaw keyblade.

Wow! It really worked!

[That is amazing! Kind of blinding with that flash of light, but. There's bubbles galore once it sinks in for her as she stares at that new Keyblade. Which is definitely different to how his had looked just before. That must mean this worked! And Sora's should too!

The only thing that makes her pause in her almost literal bouncing of excitement is the feeling of the ice cream starting to drip at her hand holding the cone.]

Yeah, it did...

[Roxas isn't trying to take away from Ariel's excitement, he's just legitimately surprised that his keyblade could change like this. He was so used to Oathkeeper and Oblivion, that he didn't think another form was possible.

It's new. And opens up a lot of possibilities. When he can think of them.]

I think your ice cream is melting.

Hm? Ah! Y-yeah.

[She seems flustered then, quickly turning her attention to start licking the ice cream near the cone where it drips down to her hand. Though her gaze still drifts to the Keyblade. It really is amazing how much it changes. Just from a key chain.]

Did you want a closer look?

[And he holds the keyblade out. He only knows the blade from Roxas's memories so it's new to him as well.]

Can I?

[Yup. This does mean Ariel will lean in more to peer at the weapon, to admire the details as she reaches to take it. Not that she anticipates being able to hold it for long before it would revert back to the original owner, of course.]

[Roxas offers it too her, but it only lasts about a minute before there's a flash and it's back in her hand.]

Sorry. It's kinda specific about who wields it.

It's okay. I know. I'm just glad this seems like it worked! Now I can message Sora and give him his. Thanks so much, Roxas!

[Yup, she is kind of approaching with her arms outstretched, as if about to hug him in her excitement that this worked out so well.]

Yeah, no problem.

[Roxas just kind of awkwardly stand there. If she wants to go ahead with the hug, she can, but he's just awkward about stuff like this.]

[The hug is quick, since she doesn't want to get the ice cream on him or wait too long before finishing it to let it melt further than it already has. But it happens all the same, however brief. Because she's come to appreciate him, for his helpfulness towards her.]

Oh, I better finish this.

Yeah, I guess so. We can sit though...it's easier than eating on the go.

[Plus ice cream is a thing that should be enjoyed.]

Edited 2017-04-20 02:31 (UTC)

That's true. I can message Sora after this. I wouldn't want to drop it or get it everywhere with trying to eat it while walking around.

[So it does seem easier. Besides, now she knows that worked she isn't as nervous. So she can relax a little more. Take her time to enjoy this.]

Yeah, there's no real need to rush.
