Sixth Sketch: Return

[colorme_in]

[If you are in the plaza today, Vatheonites, you might catch a glimpse of a blonde girl in a white dress, soaked to the bone. The look on her face is unreadable- it's happy, but at the same time it's full of thoughtfulness and just the slightest bit of sadness.]

[She's back. She was supposed to bond with Kairi, making her Other whole, but then she

[Oh, hey, now there's a face he's been wondering about. He takes a moment to eavesdrop on the conversation with Lea, and finds himself simultaneously chagrined that she had to go and tell Lea about that pesky temporary insanity that drove him to actually try being a hero once or twice, and pleased that at least she spoke up on his behalf. He's pretty sure Lea's gonna be sore at him for a while, but it was a lesson the kid needed; at least Naminé is apparently on his side; that's helpful.

So he'll just leave this here, Naminé. Have a wave and a little grin.]

[She almost think it's Lea who's talking to her again when she sees the trademark red hair, but then she realizes that this face is much older than it looked before. And those tattoos... Could it be?]

...!

Axel!

[She breaks into a smile. Even though he was technically dead where she came from, seeing him alive again was a relief.]

You're here, too!

[got_it_memorizd]

Eyeah... guilty as charged. [He lifts his eyebrows and wags a finger at her, but he's grinning.] Word to the wise--next time you decide to paint me a hero, do it privately, short stuff. Somebody might hear you and think I'm a good guy or something. [Well, he can't really be mad at you, and it has nothing to do with whether or not he has a heart.]

Welcome back, Namine!

Everything's a-okay! Better than okay, actually. I can catch you up if you want.

[Video]

[colorme_in]

Oh, that's good...

But, if everything was okay...then what happened to Isa?

[She's so worried over here.]

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[The smile drains out of his expression.]

Isa... he's... he did get hurt, but he's better now. And Demyx is looking after him too.

[colorme_in]

Sora...please tell me.

What happened when I was gone? How did Isa get hurt like that?

[ninthserenade]

I'm... [Confused? Content? Happy?]

...I'm okay.

...

Demyx. You saw what happened to Isa, right?

[ninthserenade]

...Of course I saw.

[colorme_in]

Do you mind telling me what happened?

[pristinestar]

Namine...

[There's the sound of relief in Red's voice, and his smile only got better when he saw her unharmed.]

You left and came back, huh? ... Welcome back.

[colorme_in]

Oh, thank you Red.

[A smile.]

How have you been?

[pristinestar]

I'm doing fine, thanks.

I'm glad that you're safe...

[colorme_in]

I'm glad you're safe too, Red.

Did anything happen when I was gone?

[After all that's happened since she vanished for a while, this is probably the first time he's smiled even faintly since he was last in the forest. Since then, he's been in hiding- at least, until now. He offers said faint smile to her, even if he keeps his eyes from view.]

...Welcome back, Namine.

[video]

[colorme_in]

Riku! Thank you.

...Nothing bad happened while I was gone, right?

[video]

[limitless_land]

Your welcome.

...Depends on your definition of "bad," I guess.

...

Isa got hurt by something, didn't he? Was there a fight? Wen I was gone.
