I'm just a little rusty. Not like there's exactly been a lot of time to go catching fish and stuff! We were all kind of busy with everything going on.
[Though this was a good reminder that maybe he should try and set aside a little more time getting back into the sorts of things he used to do. When even was the last time he'd gone swimming just for the sake of swimming?
But right now he was in agreement with Roxas. He was so done with this game and these ridiculous fish. Plus he could still feel the slime sticking to the inside of his shirt and back which was a whole other level of yuk.]
All I want now is a shower, dry clothes...And maybe something to snack on that's as far from fish related as it gets.
[Not that the bounty of Moon Fish was exactly cooperating with Sora's attempts to get as many of them into the baskets as he could, even if they had no where else to go and it made him scowl at the ridiculous creatures.]
Never thought I would wish I could talk to fish just to try and get them to work with us here.

Yeah, they don't look like very...bright fish, if that makes sense.
[Actually, they looked like some of the dumbest fish he'd every seen. And anyone that's seen a fish would know that's an impressive feat since not a lot of fish looked smart to start with.]
Oh yeah, we can definitely be done. [Even if none of the other kids around them were.]
This game is definitely for the fishes. [Sorry, not sorry, Roxas.]
[Roxas just groans at Sora's comment. If he had a choice, he would be avoiding fish for a good long while. Which is kind of hard to do in a place like this.]
[There wasn't going to be any complaint from Sora about that. If anything, he'd probably try to find somewhere to hose down first before ruining a perfectly good towel with fish slime before that, otherwise that sounded like the best idea he'd heard all day as he grabbed one of the heavy baskets and started lugging it towards the rest of them further down the docks.]
Yeah, no argument here. Can we grab a non-fish related snack too because...I'm really over all the whole seafood thing right now.
Hey, you'd do the same for me...Or kick my butt if I needed it.
[Of that, Sora was completely positive. Which was something that he probably needed once and a while to keep him on task and moving forwards.] Besides, in a couple of days you'll be right back out there, rebuilding fences with the rest of us.
Plus a story about how you took on a harpy and won! Lea and Xion are going to be amazed!..You know, right after they freak out about it and tell you to never do it again. [Because that was just what friends did. They celebrated with you and worried about you.]
I don't know about that. Sounded to me like everyone else feels you did the most.
I still wish I had been there to help though.
[Especially since all those bandages weren't just for show and Sora knew it. He couldn't help but thing if he'd been there, things would have played out differently. That Roxas wouldn't have ended up so gravely injured and now stuck on bed rest for his wounds to knit back together.]
You only need to talk about it when you want to though, so don't stress about it. Plus there's all the other stuff you've seen since being here too. You're going to have millions of stories.
You did! He's okay and also worried about you too. Don't think any one you know here isn't so, get ready for that.
[He most definitely did but that's just kind of what they did, wasn't it? Overachieve in the most hazardous ways possible?]
I'm really sorry. I don't have an excuse. I just should have been there to help too.
[A very different situation and even though he realized that they really shouldn't be looking for fights, it was still something that he sort of hoped they would be able to do one day again. Though maybe under not so dire circumstances. Though at that point, shouldn't they be able to talk their way out of it?
Probably not. Sora wasn't that good at talking his way out of trouble so much as into it. Hopefully, Roxas was better at it though.]
Loads and loads. You're probably just kind of tired still and thinking too much about what you feel didn't go right but you're still here and still talking which is more than the harpy so, that says you did everything right to me.
[There's a relief that Izuku is okay. Even if he's not sure he's ready to face everyone else just yet.
Roxas isn't much better at talking his way out of things, being cursed with a short temper. Either way, the Harpy didn't seem to be interested in talking though.]
text (dated probably earlier in the month)
Date: 2024-04-25 04:52 am (UTC)Um, so I've sort of been telling my crew about my time in the Organization.
If it gets to that point, is it alright if I mention the whole you being a heartless thing?
I want to be able to be honest with them.
Re: text (dated probably earlier in the month)
Date: 2024-04-25 07:26 am (UTC)...Oh.]
I...Yeah, I guess?
Being honest with them is important.
And it's kind of hard to explain the whole thing without explaining what heartless are, so you're kind of going to need to.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-28 01:18 am (UTC)But I just figured...that part's kinda your story so. I just wanted to make sure it was okay.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-28 04:18 am (UTC)I trust you, Roxas. Go tell them when you need to and let me know how it goes, okay?
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 01:29 am (UTC)And I will. In both cases.
But...I guess if you ever want to meet them, sometime. That would be fine as well
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 07:48 am (UTC)It's kind of a lot. And, I'm pretty sure it's not easy to get your head around if you weren't there.
I mean, we were and it's still hard to explain so, I'm okay if people need to process before they can handle more.

Date: 2024-05-01 02:10 am (UTC)[It's certainly above his pay grade, but it's not like Yen Sid or Ienzo or King Mickey are here, so they will have to deal with the Roxas version.]
But I'll ask them, and let you know.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 10:13 am (UTC)But really, you got this, Roxas. Trust in your friends!
no subject
Date: 2024-05-06 02:13 am (UTC)I'm sure it will be fine.
[He really wants it to be fine.]
Moon Fish Cont.
Date: 2024-06-30 07:56 am (UTC)[Hey! No need to call him out like that!s]
I'm just a little rusty. Not like there's exactly been a lot of time to go catching fish and stuff! We were all kind of busy with everything going on.

I think we got enough in the baskets. Can we just...be done?

Date: 2024-07-06 09:36 pm (UTC)[Might be a little hard to avoid due to being on an island but Roxas thinks he knows a few places.]
Maybe stay away from the water to for a while.
Early Recovery Cont.
Date: 2024-06-30 08:14 am (UTC)Hey, you'd do the same for me...Or kick my butt if I needed it.

Re: Early Recovery Cont.
Date: 2024-07-01 11:21 pm (UTC)[He gestures down to the bandages, his injuries.]
Still a story though, I guess.
[It will probably take some time to get comfortable with it.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-02 09:00 am (UTC)I still wish I had been there to help though.

Date: 2024-07-04 02:34 am (UTC)[And maybe he succeeded at that a little too well.]
There wasn't really any time to reach out to anyone else. It would have been nice to have more help.
[And well, he and Sora have never really had a chance to fight together other than against Saix. But that was a different situation.]
But I guess you're right. Just kinda hard to think of them all now.

You're here now. I'm glad for that.
[It's nice to have someone from home, after all.]
I guess. Everything still kinda hurts.
