[ It's been a whirlwind of events these past weeks - ones that ultimately turned harrowing to somehow completely and utterly miraculous, despite the vague vestiges of sad elements that accompanied them towards their end. At the end of all of them, the blond finally finds time to make his way to speak to a certain someone in particular.
Much later after things have settled, even as their nightmares hang over them like unforgettable specters. Either way, he's giving her door a knock. ]
[ It's easily noticeable - after hanging around with the people he has in the resort, Roxas has taken closer examination of people's gait. Granted it started as an unconscious habit once he noticed that some people tried to hide things with their faces rather than their words...
He nods at her words and comes into her room, waiting for her to close the door behind them, but going to do it himself if she doesn't. He'll then take a seat in a chair if one is available. ]
It's really been awhile since we've talked, but I just wanted to know how you were doing?
[she closes it behind her, and the chair to her desk was already slightly pulled out! there are actually draft papers on it. They look to be a timeline.]
Oh. Thank you for your concern.
[she sits on the edge of her bed, folding her hands in her lap.]
But-- I think it's safe to say no one's doing "well" now.
[ Roxas can't help but probably have glanced over at the timeline once he's noticed, but he doesn't try to do anything else at the moment because he's not rudely nosy or anything. ]
...Yeah.
[ He figured that was the case. ]
If anyone was, it'd be kind of weird. [ ... ] I just kind of wonder...why now of all times?
[ At that, Roxas' expression kind of just shifts slightly, and there's a frown on his face as she says this. He's not sure if he can offer words of comfort to her, but at the same time? He can't just say nothing. ]
I don't really know you well, Makoto, but I know one thing for sure:
You're not the Barghest--you're you--and even if other people are scared to get near you because of something that happened which wasn't even your fault, I'm not. [ ... ] I also want to get to know you a little better too, if that's alright with you.
[ Roxas smiled at her at that...it's not that he'd forgotten, but bringing it kind of makes him reminded of how helpful he was in that shenanigary. ]
Then it's settled? Oh, and after we play some games, we can probably share some snacks together? My friends back home did a lot of that after a day of hard work, it was really nice.

tuesday week 5
Much later after things have settled, even as their nightmares hang over them like unforgettable specters. Either way, he's giving her door a knock. ]
Makoto...? Can we talk?
no subject
Just a moment.
[it's quiet for a moment, and then the door opens. She looks tired, but that could just be a remnant of the week before, where she'd looked exhausted.
However, her smile is... no where near as put together as it was even in the week they'd played games together.]
Hi, Roxas-san.
Come in.
no subject

no subject
[she's especially still. she just... shakes her head.]
Perhaps it's just a natural effect of what the Resort is doing to us.
no subject
[ He looks kind of thoughtful for a moment. If he was closer, he'd ask if maybe they could share, but...they don't know each other that well yet. ]
... I'm not going to ask what you saw, but do you want to maybe play games with me for a bit? It can be fun and get our minds off of stuff.
no subject
... You'd still want to play games with me?
no subject
What do you mean? Why wouldn't I?
no subject
I waspossessed by the Barghest when we played. And i wouldn't have blamed anyone for wanting to give me a wide berth after that.
no subject
I don't really know you well, Makoto, but I know one thing for sure:
You're not the Barghest--you're you--and even if other people are scared to get near you because of something that happened which wasn't even your fault, I'm not. [ ... ] I also want to get to know you a little better too, if that's alright with you.
no subject
... Okay. I-- I'd like that. Since you were part of the reason I was saved in the first place.
no subject
Then it's settled? Oh, and after we play some games, we can probably share some snacks together? My friends back home did a lot of that after a day of hard work, it was really nice.
no subject
Can we play the shooting game again?
no subject
Roxas remembered that he was supposed to go the beach together, with the two of his friends. But, he shakes those thoughts off, and he gives a nod. ]
I think the shooting game can be fun again. Maybe on our way there you can tell me about sushi a little?
no subject
[she smiles at that, and stands.]
It's simple to explain but... I'm not a sushi expert.
no subject
[ He moves to stand as well ]
Between Atsushi, Akira, Minato, and I guess you now, I've just been hearing about new food I've never even seen before while I've been here.
no subject
I'm not a sushi expert, but... Well.
It'll be a teaser, until we can find an actual sushi chef.
no subject
[ Then he'll nod with a small smile, heading over to the door. ]
We csn stop by the kitchen before doing the game?
