You've reached Roxas.

I'll try to get back to you.

[hijumpkick]

Huh. Well, if you say so, then that's probably my best bet.

[Beacon, meanwhile, scoffs at Roxas.]

Just good? That is all you have to say? Hayner, perhaps you should invest in more conversational friends?

Hey, what did you say?? Roxas is my best friend!

[seasaltkeys]

[There's a part of Roxas that is pleased to hear that Hayner thinks of him as his best friend. Certainly it's reciprocated (though after Axel, if Roxas ever gets a chance to talk to him again).

Granted he's not the most verbose individual in general.]

Sorry, first time I've really encountered a talking Sword. You've just been here, waiting?

[hijumpkick]

Why of course. It's not as if I could simply walk away, now is it?

[Hayner groans, then lowers Beacon and turns to Roxas.]

I guess I'll just wait and take this to that... what was it, that Leon guy?

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, Leon the Artificer. If he's not here, he's on the moonbase. I can show you.

[Mostly because he also has Questions? and wants them answered.

Though he could just ask Beacon.]

So, have you always been here, Beacon?

[hijumpkick]

Thanks.

[Before he can say more, Beacon begins talking again.]

Well, not al---lways. There was another who used to wield me, but how I got to this grove is quite a story...

[A story which, if neither of them intervene, will be told right then and there by the sword.]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas looks at Hayner, as if it's Hayner's call if he wants this to continue. Although the two of them talking while Beacon is telling his story is also an amusing image.]

Guess you managed a pretty cool find.

[hijumpkick]

[Hayner is going to ignore Beacon for now. Let the sword go off on his monologue, because Hayner is going to keep talking regardless.]

I guess so. I mean, didn't expect to find a talking sword, but I guess it is pretty cool, huh?

[Even if the sword is kind of a dick, Hayner's grinning to himself.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, it is. Kinda makes you wonder what else is these woods.

[hijumpkick]

Seriously! We should explore some more. Maybe we'll find a lost castle or something!

[seasaltkeys]

That might be kinda cool. We should probably do it when it's a bit more light out though.

[hijumpkick]

Yeah, you're probably right. So, should we head back? Oh, and would it be a problem if I brought him back with me?

[Meaning the sword, who is still monologuing.]

[seasaltkeys]

Maybe? I mean, there's no real point in keeping it a secret, so hopefully everyone else doesn't mind.

[Or maybe Beacon sleeps as well? Roxas can't say.]

[hijumpkick]

Well, here's hoping.

[Cause if Beacon won't shut up... well, he can't exactly hide him.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. We'll work it out.

[Or they'll leave Beacon outside.]
