Sixty-Fourth Keychain - Written

I only have one simple question for everybody.

[Which is a surprise in and of itself. For Roxas, who generally asks lots of questions and pokes and prods at everything, simple isn't exactly something that fits in his vocabulary.]

What do you do when you've run out of things to do? [A pause.] I mean I've been here for 1,558 days. My cat refuses to keep up his painting and skateboarding lessons. ~~Axel's still gone, and Xion has Luke.~~ Time...moves really fast, and I guess I'm just now noticing.

At least it's close to Christmas again. I've really grown to like the snow and the holiday, maybe almost as much as Sora. Heh. All right, I don't think anyone can love Christmas as much as he can. That'll be something to keep me busy for a while, but what then? I think I've read almost every book in the library by now. Is there more that I can learn still, or does it all just stop?

Anyway, I don't really expect an answer, but I'd appreciate it if anyone had some advice.

…thanks.

...if you think someone out there can benefit from you, sure. Go ahead. But it's probably a good idea to get stronger yourself.

Believe me, Roxas. I've spent the better part of a year trying to become stronger-- and that goes for more than just fighting.

I might've been the one to become master, but I'm not about to let it go to my head. Especially with what was at stake back then.

I'm not saying you haven't. I'm just saying don't let it slide.

With how much I've been training? I doubt that'll be a problem. If anything, I could stand to take more breaks.

Then why don't you?

Probably will. Just gotta stop being so stubborn, I guess.

[Heh.]

So, any good suggestions pop up?

You should join me on this captain's boat. He could probably use both of us.

Working on board an actual ship would be a nice change of pace. Come to think of it, I should really get to sailing the raft already. It's pretty much collecting dust.
