Twenty-Second Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[After about 11 days, the Malnosso finally decided to return Roxas back to the village. He's walking pretty slowly with an almost-limp, the usual cuts and bruises from kidnapping on him and few feathers missing from his wings, but the most noticeable mark is the bleeding gash on the left side of his chest soaking through his shirt. He gets about as far as outside building two before he has to stop moving and hits the ground]

Maybe...I'll have to check, maybe it's up in my room.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

That is a good place to start!

[perplexme]

I'll check in a while. Right now let's find Fina.

[Nods -- and remembers she can't run as fast due to his injury. So, she walks beside him!]

[perplexme]

[continues walking with her] So how do you know her? She's never mentioned you to me before.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

She was one of the first people that I met when I came to Luceti. [She pauses.]

I am glad she hasn't mentioned me.

[perplexme]

Why would you be glad about that?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

... ... [She doesn't answer at first.]

It is easier that way. So people do not know what I am.

[perplexme]

...so people don't know what you are?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

[perplexme]

You're not going to tell me, are you.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

Why would Roxas-san want to know?

[perplexme]

Why wouldn't I?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[ ... ... Logic.]

I'm a machine.

[perplexme]

...in what sense?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

In every sense... I guess.

[perplexme]

So, kind of like a computer in human form. A robot.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

[She nods... and seems a little embarrassed?]

Yes.

[perplexme]

...it could be worse.

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

...

[perplexme]

Besides, nobody minds you're a robot, do they?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

... ... No, but-!

[perplexme]

But what?

[shieldinside.livejournal.com]

I do. [Roxas why are you so mean :(]

[perplexme]

...you shouldn't. If you waste time trying to achieve something to...I don't know, make yourself human...you'll miss a lot.
