[sometime after Xion is brought safely to the clinic, Sora seeks Roxas out, his eyes uncomfortably dark. he's had enough of this. too many people have been hurt. his palms are itching, but he's kept his cool for the most part so far, partly for Kairi's sake, and at least until he's certain that their friends are safe for now.]
[and he's certain. and he tries on a smile anyway, though it's tight and thin-lipped.]
Roxas, will you help me with something? [it reads almost like a plea.]
[Roxas doesn't even have to really think about it, easily able to read what Sora's true intentions are. He nods though, keeping up the charade and his neutrality.]
Looks like you read my mind. Let's go, we're just wasting time standing here. We should check the west first. It's going to stay darkest there the longest.
Right. [lead the way, Roxas-- Sora will keep up, but he'll be constantly looking over his shoulder and prodding anything that looks suspicious with his Keyblade.]
[Roxas is silent for a moment as he patrols with Sora, snarling a bit as he whacks an innocent bush with his Keyblade. He's only using one blade for now.]
I can't believe this. Can't believe this. What was the point of hiding the house and trying to protect ourselves if he could still attack any of us?
Makes you wonder just how long he was actually waiting for this. Was he staking her out? Why Xion? Why any of us? I just want to know what his motivations were for us.
We're just...we're just going to have to sneak up on him. He's really strong. Even if you and I both attacked at the same time, it might not be enough.
...does it get any easier for you? Killing people, I mean.

Sure. What's up?

[safety in numbers and all-- and Sora trusts Roxas' abilities after fighting alongside him the last draft.]

We couldn't have holed up in the house forever... He knew that.

I went because I was afraid he'd hurt one of you if I didn't. [and then he did anyway.]
[action; July 12]
Don't go after him alone. Ever. We can't let him get away with this.
[action; July 12]
Let's start thinking of how to make things right, then. Together.
