[SORRY LEA, He's taking over the bed. Sort of. He's not so small anymore, so he's just kind of laying around wrapped up in the comforter like it's some sort of cocoon with his legs bent back and swaying back and forth as he fiddles with his SFC, a wide grin stretching his scar.]Sup, guys--call me crazy, but uh... That curse was actually pretty fun

You know, I never thought you to be the sentimental type before I came here. [A nervous chuckle, then-]

...and thanks, now whenever I do get to go home I'll be afraid to see what my mom's cooked.

[He'd help out with the filtered thing, but he's.. never... been on a date before to begin with. Ahaha...]

[ninthserenade]

Like I told Sora, you shouldn't judge anybody by appearance.

[Then he pauses, scratching a his cheek.]

I kinda miss the grub in Atlantica, man. ...My mom? The one who raised me after I had to leave home when I wasn't even five? She used to make the best kelp cookies.

[limitless_land]

Guess some grudges just last a while.

[Closest thing to an apology he'll get for now, and hello~ cultural divide!]

I think it's just something about any mom's baking. We always think ours are the best. [A laugh] We had a hard time keeping my old man from the cookie jar, ourselves.

[ninthserenade]

Yeah, I just hope it passes. We were... Pretty good friends before. I never really got to belt out Queen like that with someone. Even getting Xigbar to hold Arpeggio for five seconds was pretty much like pulling teeth.

We used to get all the kelp from my biological dad's farm. When I was born and mom was tired, I'd ride around on his back with my arms wrapped around his neck while he went around harvesting the ripe stuff and I guess when I got older, my second dad said I 'looked like him with less freckles' but I had my mom's fins 'n eyes.

Well, Demyx. I'm pretty sure not just anyone would actually help drag someone's scaly butt to the nearest lake. ...And did anyone record that? [Because NOT BELIEVING THAT UNTIL HE SEES/HEARS IT.]

Funny how that goes, huh. [He smiles faintly, placing a hand on...something gold inside his coat.] They say I got my hair and eyes from my mother and her family, but that's all I really remember about her.

[ninthserenade]

Sheesh, you make it sound like I was fat! Sure my tail adds on another hundred, maybe a hundred 'n fifty pounds but that's cuz it's all muscle! I can't help that it's long. [He pauses to think about that for a second.] I think I got a recording of it on my SFC somewhere, but I'll ask Lea or somethin'. I can't remember if he recorded it or not.

...I still wonder what happened to mine. She just suddenly disappeared one day. 'n no, she didn't ditch. She cared about the family too much to do that.

[limitless_land]

I know. I visited Atlantica once. [All the fleeing from Ursula and her eels. All of it.] ...Okay.

[He pauses, giving a concealed thoughtful look at the figure on the screen.] ... Weird. Did something happen?

[ninthserenade]

You never really mentioned it before.

[Then he shrugs a little.] No one really knows, honestly. Dad gave it his all to try and find her, even going so far as to get the help of a couple, uh... tiger sharks. Dion was the name of their little leader 'n he used to come harass me after I got a little older in Atlantica. Actually, we gave each other a couple scars. ...Jerk-ass guy, I'll tell you that.

[limitless_land]

It... isn't something I'm really proud to admit. [He rubs the back of his neck.]

I'll take your word on that one. Never had the pleasure of running into many of the locals while I was there...

[ninthserenade]

[Ouch.] ...Right.

[limitless_land]

[y e a h.] ...and sorry, if I scared your younger self last week.
