perplexme | Twenty-Third Keychain-[Written]

[Private]
After what they did to me, I can't help but wonder what they're going to do to him. Aros...I should have at least seen that one coming, I mean, why wouldn't it? They took the original several times, then they took the Nobody, why wouldn't they want to collect data on the Heartless? ~~I'm sort of...maybe worried though.~~ He'll be okay.

Luceti's...completely lost it lately. People being kidnapped left and right, even more people just up and disappearing, more people attacking others. I heard about that girl, Fina's friend...Aegis if I remember her name right, being attacked in the desert for being a robot.

How odd, considering that there are more than just herself that isn't human. That vampire kind of lost it too from what I heard. Emil's not his usual bouncy self either. What the hell's going on? It's a mad, mad world.

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in't."

Excellent point. After all, we all know the Malnosso are behind this crazy shit. I'm not going to stand by but...I do need to not involve myself so much.

~~If anything, so Axel can sleep at night.~~

The gash finally healed up but I think I really worried more people than necessary and I want to apologize, but it's not in my nature. I guess. I don't know, what am I even saying anymore? I think my thoughts are even more scattered than before. I give up for a while. Not long, but a while. I need to find my research that Axel hid from me.

Cloud...I have your Materia to return to you. Thanks for letting me borrow it.

And Fina? Where are you, I haven't seen you around...

And for that matter...anybody who's been in the library lately, anybody have any good recommendations? I think I need something new to read.

[As promised, Fina approaches the library a few minutes later with Cupil following closely. She is not rushing or anything, no way.]

[looks up and spots Fina "not" rushing at him with Cupil. See look, he's fine D:]

Hey.

[Do you want a fresh batch of tears, Roxas. She smiles at him though as Cupil zooms over to nuzzle him. Yay!]

Roxas.

[pets Cupil a bit, albeit awkwardly because really, he's a blob =\ but he's grinning at Fina to assure her he's okay]

Hi. Miss me?

[Fina tries to swallow down that constrict caught in her throat, but it seems intent on hanging around to make talking that more difficult. She just nods instead.]

...[notices :|] Come on, Fina, it's fine.

[Fina hesitates for a moment when he says that. Then she purses her lips together before she kneels next to Roxas and hugs him.]

[jfldkaj oh. Okay, that's fine. He doesn't really mind but that threw him off-guard so he just lets her hug him so they both feel better] Fina...

[But this is the only way to properly express her relief right now. But fortunately for Roxas, Fina isn't the touchy feely kind of person and pulls away from him like the wind, looking very mortified.]

I-I'm sorry.. I was just so relieved..

...[drapes an arm around her shoulders in his own awkward little way of saying he doesn't actually mind] I know. Sorry, I didn't think they'd keep me that long.

[Ack. Fina tenses up when he does that, before her shoulders loosen up in relief.]

... It's not your fault.

Nah, but I should have been paying more attention. [eventually removes his arm but is sitting pretty close still]

[Fina shakes her head.]

... No one can stop the Malnosso when they want someone. [She lowers her voice for the next part.] ... He said it was because you were getting too nosy..
