[It's been a long day of traveling and training- well, okay, traveling and watching Puddles graze instead of battling- but today was not an entire waste! Now that things have settled down a little, Sora can focus on a new task he's assigned himself: he's managed to scrounge up a pen and a few small scraps of paper, though he'll write all over his map if he needs to. When the video flips on, that's exactly what he's doing, hunched over with his tongue poking out in concentration as he scribbles.]

[After a moment, he looks up, like he'd forgotten he'd turned on his pokégear. That's not the case, though:]

Hey! Can you guys help me with something?

So you were just there for the ride, right? Soon as you found me and Kairi, you'd go with us? Even without the raft, we were supposed to see other worlds together.

[Sorry, but he's...kinda frustrated here. The idea of Sora traveling with other people... Yeah. Not a fun thought.]

Well, Riku, you kind of..

[turned against him? turned to the Darkness? nearly killed him? there isn't an easy way of saying it, so Sora just falls silent, trying to think of another way to answer his question.]

Of course I'd travel with you guys. But Donald and Goofy mean a lot to me, so I'd want to make sure they were okay, too.

Well, if they're really a wizard and a knight, I'm sure they could handle themselves.

Riku...

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You're still my best friend, you know. You always will be.

[voice]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Good. Last thing I'd want is to be replaced.

[pffft, that makes him laugh a little.]

You don't have to worry about that.
