seasaltkeys | Day 21 - video/action [Forward dated to the 25th]

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from,

. So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right?

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. ~~I didn't think that..~~. Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift.

[nod]

I'm glad you like it. Sparky...picked it out.

Sparky's a really smart pokemon, huh?

Yeah. He really is. They're almost like people, pokemon.

At least he's taking good care of you. I know I can trust him with that.

[She still believes it's not healthy for him to stay away from everyone like this :c]

Pikachu!

Yeah, he is. How about you? Are you doing alright?

... mm, I'm okay.

[... it's not as convincing as it sounds though.]

[catches on]

Is something the matter?

Of course. It's just...

[There's a pause as she looks contemplative.]

...

Marluxia's here.

I know. I talked to him.

[pause]

Did something happen, between you and him?

...

... around the time when you were in the Organization, do you remember some of the members being sent to Castle Oblivion? Axel was there, so...

Yeah, I do. I remember Axel was gone for a long time.

I was found in Castle Oblivion.

... they. Ordered me to use my powers to try and manipulate Sora's memories. Remember what I told you before, about a year ago, I had to take his memories apart?

Right. And I was the last piece.

So, Marluxia was in charge of Castle Oblivion?

Mm.

[She's gone awfully quiet. Salty crawls into her lap and prii's at her, trying to cheer her up immediately after sensing her trainer's unhappiness.]

[Roxas isn't sure what to say]

Are you worried...about him being here?

Kind of.

Back in Castle Oblivion, him and Larxene, well.... weren't exactly the nicest.

[Just a nod, since he met them once? He recalls not really like Larxene, granted he was pretty much a zombie then so yeah]

I. I won't let him do anything. If it comes to that.

-- I--

...

... thank you.

[Nod. There isn't much more to say beyond that, he thinks. He's made a promise. He'll stick to it]
