[Ryu's managed to find himself on a rooftop again, looking up at the sky.]

A year, huh? Doesn't seem like it.

... Yeah. This place is... home.

Happy anniversary! I don't think we've met before, have we?

[Grin.]

[2yoraedragon]

Oh, thanks! And nope, I don't think so. I'm Ryu. You are?

[ltcolonel_dad]

Maes Hughes.

[Salutes. Still grinning.]

I think I've got something relevant to your interests...

[2yoraedragon]

You don't need to salute to me. [ ^^; ]

Something? What is it?

[versuslight]

Kairi said she's been here a year, too. That kinda thing wouldn't surprise me-- it already feels like it's been that long for me...

[At the mention of "home," however, he looks rather sad.]

[2yoraedragon]

I haven't really talked to her very much. She seems nice.

... You okay?

[versuslight]

She is nice. One of the nicest.

[He shakes his head as if to ward off the oncoming gloom.] I'm okay. It's just... ironic that I spent so long wishing I could leave home, and now I'm that somewhere else all I can think about is how much I miss the ocean.

[2yoraedragon]

[Shrugs.]

It's fun to get away for a while, I guess... but I think it's only natural to still want a place to come home to.

[variant]

How is this place 'home'?

[2yoraedragon]

It's more 'home' than the last place I was. Besides... I've done what I could there, and now I'm here.

[variant]

You're weird.

[2yoraedragon]

... Probably, yeah.
