Early afternoon || OPEN

[hybrid_prodigy]

[He's found some nuts laying on the ground, and scoops them up before sitting down under a tree. In short order, there are curious squirrels climbing all over him.

[He giggles as he lets them take whatever they want -- and giggles even harder when evidently one decides to sit on top of his head to eat its bounty. It's been way too long since he'd had a real camp-out in the woods. In fact, he hasn't done it since he's been here. Which is why when he'd found that note in the house, he just couldn't resist showing up. Even if he might not know many people here that well.]

[pullsheavendown]

[The black-haired boy is a stranger to Roxas, but he figures he must be a friend of Sora's. It wouldn't be surprising-sora seems to collect friends the way Roxas collects coffee blends.

He's not sure what to make of the squirrel on his head, though. Maybe his power is talking to animals or something.]

Does that tickle?

[hybrid_prodigy]

Hm? [He looks up at the voice, and feels the squirrel starting to lose its balance up there. He reaches up a gentle hand to steady it, and it goes right back to eating.

[This person looks an awful lot like Sora, but there's something about him that's definitely different. A . . . different presence, really. But nothing bad.] Only a little. But he seems to like it up there, so it's no big deal.

[He'd do his usual polite bow of the head, but that'd send the squirrel tumbling right off. So, none of that this time.] Oh. I'm Gohan, by the way. I guess Sora left a note about this stuck to one of the windows of my house, and I figured I'd come along. I really miss camping. I hope that's okay.

[pullsheavendown]

Hi. I'm Roxas.

[He gives him a greeting nod. That...sounds like something Sora would do.]

He really left those all over, didn't he? So you've been camping before? This is my first time.

[hybrid_prodigy]

It's nice to meet you, Roxas. [No platitudes here. He completely means it.]

I guess he did.

[He smiles at the questions.] All the time, back in my world. Though my family and I lived in a house in the mountains anyway, so we didn't have all of the big city stuff even when we were home. But I haven't really been camping since I got here.

So do you like camping so far?

[pullsheavendown]

You too.

[Huh. His world sounds kind of cool. Definitely pretty.]

This must be a really nice break for you. And yeah, so far it's good. At least we don't have to worry about putting up tents or anything.

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Oh, yes. It's lovely. When neither aliens nor cyborgs are trying to blow things up all over the place.]

Yeah. I don't really mind cities, but I prefer places like this. We never bothered putting up tents, either.

[pullsheavendown]

The cabins are easier to proof against the darkness than tents would, anyway. But with Aslan here, I don't think it'll be a problem.

[hybrid_prodigy]

Oh, so he can keep the Darkness away? [He's hung out with Aslan before, but there's a lot of stuff about him he doesn't know.]

[The squirrel on Gohan's head, which he had honestly forgotten all about, clambered onto his shoulder and crawled down his arm to inspect his hands.] Sorry, little fella. I'm all out. [The squirrel continues to sniff vigourously at his palms for another moment or two before scurrying off.]

[pullsheavendown]

He can. At least, he can keep it from hurting us. He's really amazing.

[Roxas had gotten used to the squirrel's presence too, but he chuckles when it gets bossy.] I guess he's got places to be.

[hybrid_prodigy]

Wow. [That's some genuine awe in his voice, there.] That sure beats either hiding or fighting all night. I've talked to Aslan before, but I don't really know much about him.

[He glances in the direction that the squirrel hurried off to.] Probably wants more food.

[pullsheavendown]

I don't know how much anyone knows, but that's okay.

[He laughs] Heh, probably.

[hybrid_prodigy]

[He nods.] Yeah. He's comforting to be around, and is just really nice.

[A bit of a laugh.] I wonder how many times he's gotten into somebody else's food. He seemed like he's pretty used to being around people.

[pullsheavendown]

A lot of people must come here to camp out, or they wouldn't have built cabins that can be darkness-proofed. I bet he gets all the scraps.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Sora's grinning like a madman. It's nice to see a familiar face, and he's glad the other boy had the time to show up. He's crouching a couple feet away- gotta make sure not to scare the little guys away.]

Making some friends, Gohan?

[hybrid_prodigy]

[He wouldn't have missed it. He needs camping trips in his life.

[The squirrels don't even look up when Sora crouches -- they're too intent on figuring out if there are more nuts to be had -- but Gohan does.]

Oh hey, Sora. [He shrugs, and grins.] Maybe they just like me for the food. [He's joking. Small animals tend to gather around him regardless, and he knows it.]
