Characters: OU!Riku and open
Setting: Floor Three → all around the tower, backdated to March, 17th
Format: whatever you go with, I'll match
Summary: In which Riku is looking for his cloak and blindfold and really not thinking about the collar event. Come stumble across him?
Warnings: nothing really, I'll update if it becomes necessary though

[To say that Riku was not amused by the events of the last few days was probably the understatement of the century. He would probably be even more irritated if he could actually remember more than just the occasional flash and then just... coming to in the upper library, wearing a lab coat that's two sizes to big for him.

He's disposed of it by now, very much ignoring the twist of foreboding in his stomach as he backtracked to the last location he could remember being at before blacking out to search for his Black Coat and blindfold - the library on the third floor - no way that he'd just lost them after all. Right?

Right.

So he just strides rather quickly and purposefully towards the elevator - resolutely not looking at anything that might show him his reflection, his most likely changed eyes (he can pretend that they are still the same as they used to be, right?) - travels down to the third floor and starts to look for his things.

And yeah. Not thinking about what might have/actually did happen just yet.]

[ooc: Just for reference Riku is currently wearing his KHII cloths and has amber eyes. Even though he'll really try to just. not really look. at anyone. ever. orz]

[He shakes his head at her question, looking maybe slightly guilty himself.]

Not yet.

[Mostly because he is sort of avoiding them himself - he really, really doesn't want Sora or Kairi to see him like this. Or anyone else for that matter.]

[lethechained]

[It comes as no surprise, really. He's spent plenty of time hiding from his friends; that he'd do it again isn't such a stretch. That guilt doesn't escape her, and she pauses, tilting her head slightly and regarding him quietly for a moment. It's not hard to guess why he wouldn't want to see them.]

... Your blindfold. It's... missing?

[justabignobody]

[Part of him keeps berating himself for being selfish; he shouldn't be looking for his things and trying to decide whether to pick up the pieces of his memories or not - he should be checking up on Sora (both of them) or Kairi or Xion or his double and somehow make himself useful... but if he does, then...

He nods after a moment of hesitation; he doesn't want her to blame herself anymore for what has happened.]

Yeah. I... have no idea what happened to it... or my cloak.

[lethechained]

[It's true that there's an apology on her lips after that, but she holds it back. Perhaps it would be unwise to assume that that happened because of what she did... but it's certainly a viable theory. She looks down, frowning. He's been trying to make her feel-- 'feel' better, and... letting her guilt keep showing is just going to waste his efforts. After a moment, she exhales, working out a small smile that sort of clashes with the almost apologetic look in her eyes.]

Would you like some help looking for them?

[Penance, maybe, and the faster they find that, the faster he can get back to his friends.]

[justabignobody]

[While admittedly it is indeed rather probable that her powers have played part in this, he is not going to voice that. Especially considering that look in her eyes.]

Yeah... I guess...

[Yeah... he isn't that good at asking for or accepting help, even though he has done it a few times today already.]

[lethechained]

[She's pretty well aware of that, but she'd offered anyway, because she'd known he could use it - at least to make things go more quickly - and because she wants very much to assist him. She nods, offering a wider, more encouraging (and almost approving) smile before getting to her feet.]

[Naminé has joined the party!]
