007

Characters: Riku ([personal profile] justabignobody) and Naminé ([personal profile] lethechained), then O P E N
Setting: 5th September, Daytime, all around the Tower
Format: Action to start with, but I'll match!
Summary: After spending a month back home (and finding out that it is really all destroyed) Riku returns to the Tower. Clearly, the first thing on order is to check up on everyone!
Warnings: Non as of now.

[A - Dormitory Hallways - Closed to Naminé]

[It's... hard to say just how much time has passed since he woke from the dreams into a living nightmare, since he had realized that this wasn't another trick, another dream, but reality. How much time he's spent wandering, wondering, thinking.

Sometimes along the road, he had decided not to give up, not to give into the despair - no matter how tempting it might seem.

And the moment he reawakens and knows, feels that something has changed, he also knows that that was the right decision to make.

Finally, he steps out of his room, still slightly disoriented, but determined to find somebody.

(He has missed them. He has missed them so much and the ache in his heart is even worse than it had been in those ten months before he had arrived in the tower)]



[B - All around the Tower - Open to all!]

[Things are clearer now not just because his hair and bangs are maybe just a little bit shorter). A whole month has passed since he had been forced to sleep. A lot has happened since, a lot he has missed. But even though Naminé has reassured him that everyone is fine, that non of their friends is gone or hurt (too badly at least), he needs to make sure himself.

So, for once Riku is the one, who systematically wanders the floors in search of familiar faces (and possibly running into some not so familiar ones). And for once, the relief of being back, of being back with people is showing more and more, with every passing hour.]




[ooc: a.) Please indicate the number of the Floor you want to run into Riku, either in the subject line or the tag itself!

b.) I'll probably still be using some blindfold icons, but as of now Riku is not wearing it anymore.

c.) Also, if you haven't please take a moment for his permissions post!]

[It wasn't hard to guess what he was talking about.

She ducks her head against him, shaking it, her fingers tightening a little. It's okay. She doesn't blame him, any more than she blames any of the others for not being there. She's trying not to, but the one she still blames is herself, for not just running as soon as she'd heard that voice, for pulling her weapon and trying to get him to back off.

Him returning the hug is not something she expected, but appreciates nonetheless. After a few more seconds she gently leans back, wiping at her eyes with the heel of one hand and looking up at him-

And is startled to see his usual blindfold is missing, for what she thinks is the first time that she's ever seen. Not!big bro you have pretty eyes She glances away quickly, a little awkwardly, as if she's seen something she's not supposed to. A part of her feels like she has, even though she knows it's a silly feeling.]


It's okay. E-everyone knows he's here now, and I'm being careful.

[Extra careful]

[Well, that's a step back Xion won't be taking anytime soon. That's one thing that she's discovered in the Tower. Physical contact - whether it be someone (usually Shion) grabbing her hand when she's nervous, a comforting hand on her shoulder, or even a hug - was a comfort, made her feel safe, less alone.

Really, the more she thinks about it, the more silly her reaction seems. She's seen the other Riku without a blindfold and everything but... the other Riku isn't the one who knows her, who's helped her through so much, who gave her a choice... In short, the other Riku is not her not!big brother So... it's still different. Sort of.

She shifts a little awkwardly under his gaze]


I'm okay. ... a little bit tired. [Recovering. She pauses a bit before admitting, quietly.] I'm glad you're here.
