[otherness]

[Roxas looks worse for wear. He's tired and exhausted if his face is anything to go by. His signature black coat is gone, leaving him in a dirty, bloodstained shirt and pants. All the fight in his eyes has gone. The blood is old, at least.]

Didn't think I could still come here. [His voice is quiet, almost disbelieving. He gets up, carefully feeling the air in front of him for hidden walls, and then he begins to walk. His steps are slow, careful, and tender.

He stops in front of the movie theater and doesn't move for a long time, just looking at the sign.]

Comments

[Ideas? He doesn't have any ideas.

And then it comes to him.]

... ice cream.

[darkercalling]

[He's not expecting that. Really, he wasn't expecting any answer at all, so he's not entirely putting two and two together.]

... Ice cream?

[otherness]

[He sounds so confused. Roxas just looks at his hands.]

At the end of the day, we always got ice cream.

[darkercalling]

[Ah. He gets it now. He ducks his head a bit.]

That sounds like a good plan to have, then.

[otherness]

... Do you like ice cream?

[This is very relevant to the conversation ok.]

[darkercalling]

[He nods.]

Yeah, I do. But I haven't had any in a long time.

[otherness]

[Roxas thinks about asking him. It's written on his face when he looks at Riku, but in the end he just can't muster up the offer, and he remains silent.]

[darkercalling]

[their social link isn't high enough in level yet

All that Riku can tell is that it looks like Roxas was about to say something, but changed his mind. He considers asking about it... but decides it's probably best left alone.]

... I may not be dragging you back, but don't get yourself in trouble.

[otherness]

[Roxas blinks at him for a moment, not expecting that.]

— Isn't that the point of being behind bars?
