[Knock knock, Roxas. There's someone else at Kahve's back door.]

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 03:13:43 UTC

[He grunts an mm'hm as he picks up another box.]

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 03:17:16 UTC

[He bites his lip, considering, but then decides to go for it.]

Can I ask you something?

["Sure, Roxas. You just did."]

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 03:25:37 UTC

Sure.

["How are you so good at lifting things up and putting them down?"]

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 03:30:55 UTC

Why does Xemnas look like you?

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 04:00:56 UTC

[... He liked the lifting question better.

Roxas' inquiry catches him while he's bent over, reaching for another box. He straightens up halfway, pauses, and then leans back down to continue sorting them. His answer doesn't come right away.]

You think he looks like me?

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 04:18:04 UTC

[Roxas is patient enough. He's not accusing; after all, there are many reasons why a person can look like someone else.]

You have the same face. I didn't see it at first because you don't act the same, and it had been a long time since I saw him. But it's there.

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 04:42:26 UTC

[That patience will serve him well. Terra takes his time with the boxes, going back and forth, rearranging and stacking. He keeps his eyes averted, not daring to so much as glance in Roxas' direction.]

I guess it must be.

[Halfway through, he stops, brushing his hands off on his hakama. He reaches up to run his fingers of his right hand over the edge of one box.]

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 04:51:06 UTC

Yeah.

[Roxas just watches him. He was halfway prepared to get an "I don't know" as an answer, and he'd probably have believed it, but looking at his friend now, he's not sure he can anymore.]

Terra?

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 05:07:24 UTC

[His hand falls from the box to hang limp at his side.]

If his face looks like mine... it's because it is mine.

[They will care for you no less in knowing the truth, nor will they forsake you. He can only hope Aslan's right.]

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 05:10:58 UTC

[His breath catches a little at that, but there's no judgment on his face. Part of him isn't even that surprised.]

What happened?

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 05:25:59 UTC

[Terra turns in place, heading back over to the remaining boxes. It's easier to keep working.]

Xehanort took it. My body. [He stares down at another container of coffee, hesitating a second before hefting it up.] And my heart.

Re: action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 05:47:39 UTC

[It fits, doesn't it? He'd wondered how Xehanort could get younger.

Now he knows.]

When you fought him?

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 05:48:06 UTC

When I fought him.

action; pullsheavendown April 16 2011, 05:55:30 UTC

[Roxas knows the fear of disappearing into someone else-of having them take over everything that you are. But it sounds like this is even worse.

Moving carefully, he steps closer to rest a tentative hand on Terra's arm. He has no idea what's the right thing to do here.]

I'm so sorry.

action; todomarishi April 16 2011, 06:04:33 UTC

[Terra watches him approach, his unease hidden behind a mask of nonchalance. He shifts the box so its weight rests on one arm and uses the hand that frees up to pat Roxas' shoulder.]

It was a long time ago.

[He steps away to set the crate down with the others like it.]
