Fifty-Second Keychain - [Voice/Action]
[Roxas has spent the last few weeks doing a great impression of a chameleon, blending in with his surroundings and making sure not many people saw or heard from him. But he's come to find that he can't keep hiding, and he can't keep running.
Thus, today, nearly three weeks after the attack on KH house and a week after Sanji revealed the location of the house to him, Roxas has finally decided to approach home to try and face his two best friends.
...or...not. To anyone passing by, they might see Roxas just pacing back and forth in the area, never straying far from what appears to be an empty lot. To anyone who can see the house however, it's very clear what's going on.]
This really shouldn't be that hard.
[Soon though he stops and pulls out his journal, leaning against a tree to keep an eye on the house while he flips to a new page. He takes a few moments to gather his thoughts, but soon he speaks into the journal.]
...anybody have any good advice for making apologies?

[ voice ]
The problem, Roxas realized a bit too late, was that he didn't think.]
...but is sorry going to be good enough?
[ voice ]
[ voice ]
...I'm already home. I'm outside.
[ voice ] SUP.
[ YEAH BRB SHE IS GONNA RUN THE FUCK OUTSIDE. ]
[ voice ] /eats this tag
[ action ] /dies?
SPRINTS.
RIGHT.
AT HIM.
AND.
THROWS HERSELF AT HIM IN THE TIGHTEST HUG EVER!! omg roxas ;~; roxas!!! ]
How could you stay away for that long?! Do you have any idea how worried I was? What if Vanitas had found you and none of us had even known about it?! You dummy... [ NOT. CRYING. NOT-- okay yeah fine crying. but with a major, epic pout going on. ]
[ action ] /pets and revives somehow
...sorry. I know I probably shouldn't have stayed away that long. ...besides if Vanitas did get me, I'm pretty sure he would have told you guys just to make you mad.
[ action ] /eats
[ action ] /twitches
[ action ] ... you can't twitch after I've eaten you :|
[ action ] ...I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT DX
Sanji told me where it was because he said I wouldn't be able to see it otherwise.
[ action ] /FLIPS. also 1/2
and he's not dead? ]
[ action ]
ahem. gathers herself, shaking her head. ] Well, at least that's one thing we don't have to worry about. But ... we probably still need to talk.
[ action ] STOP FLIPPING ME :|
[ action ] but I thought you liked it :o
[ action ] why would I like being flipped ;;
[ action ] because you get to go flying! 8D
You know... I had a lot of time to think, while you were gone. Too much. And Vanitas... I think he's just evil. He did all of that for fun... in fact, he told me so. [ shifts her shoulders, trying to shake off the crawling feeling of disgust.
she moves over to her bed, taking a seat, but still not looking up at him. ]
I think ... he'd probably have laughed if he knew you'd left because of what happened. And I ... I don't want to give him that satisfaction. [ shakes her head. ] Roxas... what happened was Vanitas's fault, not yours. You didn't tell him to attack us. He just took the opportunity and then tried to pin the blame on you so we'd all be mad at each other. I'm sure he liked that...
But I don't want to play his game. [ ... finally looks up at him. ] ... no matter what happens, you're always going to be my best friend. Okay?
[ action ] ...well I do like flying...
I...thanks, Xion. Really. [He pauses, licking at his lips slowly as he lets his own thoughts catch up.] Vanitas is somebody we're going to have to be really careful of from now on. We have to work together to stop him, don't we? I don't want to play his game either. We're not going to let him win.
You and Axel are...really important to me. I'm not going to let anything else happen. I promise.
[ action ] see how helpful I am.
[ but ... she'll listen to the rest of that in silence for a moment. she still looks kind of sad. ] ... just be careful, okay? But ... I believe you. [ smiles, still a little sad, but -- she's smiling. ] I know you won't.
[ action ] LIES.
[He nods, more like he's reassuring himself than her.] ...it's still true, you know. I don't know what I'd do if I lost either you or Axel. ["Again."]
