... right.

I'd need to tell them that I wouldn't be able to contact them right away, if we can.

[doublebladed]

Have you told anybody about what's happening back home...?

[whitewalls]

Not really. I sort of explained my personal situation, but I never told anyone the whole thing.

[doublebladed]

Do you think it's important to by now? Or is it safer not to? [How would people react, he means...]

[whitewalls]

... I'm not sure.

But if we do visit each other after this, we might have to explain some things.

[doublebladed]

Just don't wait too long. Some people get weird about stuff like that.

[whitewalls]

I won't... I know what you mean.

[ she's talking to someone who can get weird about that ]

[doublebladed]

Besides, people trust you here, don't they?

[whitewalls]

... do they?

[ she sounds too surprised ]

[doublebladed]

...do you really not think so? [Akane actually listened to her enough and so did Minato and it's sad those two are a baseline for him but come on now.]

[whitewalls]

[ SHE

SHRUGS???? ]

[doublebladed]

[He just. Very gently drags a hand over his face.]

I'm pretty sure Minato would be an even bigger mess without you, for one thing.

[whitewalls]

All you have to do is hold his hand and if he tries to wander off, pull him towards a different direction.

[doublebladed]

I don't know if he'd just let anyone hold his hand though. Most of the time when I hang out with Minato he wants to try new stuff like kickflips or lighting my cloak on fire.

[whitewalls]

[ she nods ]

He's like that with me, too. I think he'd hold your hand though.

[doublebladed]

I think I'll pass. [...] Okay, so what about Akane? You have to admit that she wouldn't be as nice to people like she is to you.

[whitewalls]

It was bullying at first.

[ she will just admit that ]

But... I think I was just nice to her enough that she finally realized we might actually be friends.

[doublebladed]

...I still don't like her very much. [And even less after hearing that, as indicated by his tone. But he's not here to bitch about Akane, so there's a slow nod.] That's the kind of thing I mean about people trusting you though. She didn't have to ever come to that realization.

[whitewalls]

[ naminé is used to people not liking akane and honestly, they are all valid in that opinion, so she just nods understandingly. ]

I didn't really think of it like that.

[doublebladed]

That's why I'm thinking of it for you. [The grin says he's joking though, but also Naminé please love yourself.]

[whitewalls]

What would I do without you, Roxas?

[ it's said with a smile ]

[doublebladed]

[Don't fluster him, wow??]

Come on...it's not that big of a deal.

[whitewalls]

[ she shakes her head. ]

No, I mean it. You really are a good friend.

[doublebladed]

It's a mutual thing, isn't it? You're a better friend than you think you are...even after everything that happened. I trust you.

[Like. He's still #traumatized but it's fine. They got better.]

[whitewalls]

... mm.

[ there's a pause. ]

Thank you.
