Hey dude. How're you holding up?
[The last couple of days were pretty brutal on all of them. Texting is about all he can do at the moment anyway.]

[mary, are you okay...
he's not sure if she's okay, she looks like she can't handle this at all? should he be concerned?]
Nobody's ever made anything for me before. [he'll admit that after a minute. he doesn't realize that it's probably not going to help for him to be treasuring the first gifts he's ever received that aren't seashells after calling her talented, but whatever.]

Hey, Hiro... I'm okay now. A lot better now that we have food and somewhere to sleep.
[and ice cream. the most important thing of all.]
What about you? Is everything okay for you now? [or at least better than it was? roxas didn't deal with a lot of the worst things some other people went through and saw, so he's not doing nearly as bad as he could be.
maybe that's just how it goes when your entire existence has been shitty. another shitty few days doesn't traumatize him too much.]

[ LOOK, THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF SAYING-- ]
W-well... I mean, we're friends. I'd be happy to make more things for you.

[While the immediate answer is "no", he doesn't feel right saying so to Roxas. Besides, he just wants to sort of distract himself from everything and he has a lot of questions for his friend anyway.]
It'll get better. We're back and that's pretty much the important part. Lots of food, lots of sleep, all that stuff. But I think I'm speaking for everybody when I say I hope we NEVER have to do that ever again.
And Mary's okay?

[HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS.]
No... I mean... If you want to, you can. But you don't have to... [who is fumbling on his words unintentionally because he has no idea what he's trying to say? sure is roxas.]
You've already given me a lot. [which he's not unhappy about, he just doesn't have any idea how to deal with this new feeling.]

Have I? I mean, pillows aren't anything really special... I'm just glad they turned out okay.
They're not special?
[...? what does that even mean? they're special to him. mary made them and gave them to him; nobody's ever done stuff like that for him. of course they're special.
why would she say they aren't?]

I don't think anyone would argue that. That place SUCKED.
A LOT.
I think Mary's okay though, everything's seemed fine once we got our rest. [casually doesn't really mention the part where she made him nice gifts because ? how does one even say that? but he assumes mary's fine based on the fact she could do that at all.]

I mean, like-- when you think about presents, they're usually like... really expensive things. Or at least they are in the books.
But I couldn't think of anything like that, so I thought if I made something, I could just try hard with that.

That's really good. I was worried about you guys when we got separated again. [Enjoy your pillows, friend, even if Hiro doesn't know about them at all.]
Even more of a reason we should take a beach vacation soon, huh? I was thinking that once we're all rested and stuff we should figure that out.

Yeah. Asked me a couple days ago and never really explained why.
[who was he to say no? xion needed a place to stay, he had some room at his place so why not, right? and pinging roxas was on his to do list, but letting xion chill for a bit first was the initial plan. then she vanished. whoops. plan failed.
he shoots a pointed look roxas' way. she hadn't mentioned why she needed a place to stay, but riku has a good guess that reason is the one standing right next to him.]
Feel up for doing the honors?
[not prying into why someone felt upset was the right move; bugging the potential source of it also feels the right move.]

Oh.
[he... gets it. kind of.]
I didn't know they should be expensive things. I've... never really gotten a gift before this. [so expensive or not, it's special to him.]

Yeah, I hoped you guys got back okay too after all that.
A trip to the beach would be good. As long as nothing else weird happens... doing something fun sounds good though. I think we can definitely all use it as soon as we can...

You could have said something, you know.
[he bristles once again like the angry little cat he is, jaw clenching. whether it's the fact that riku didn't give a heads-up that xion was with him at all, or that he didn't think to share that she'd disappeared completely...
it annoys him. and he's not going to deign riku with a response to his question so easily, either. maybe it's for the better xion didn't tell him. or maybe it doesn't even matter now because she's gone, but something about answering that so easily doesn't sit will with roxas.]

... Oh! Then I'm the first!
[ ... She really does seem oddly happy about this. ]
[ ... She really does seem oddly happy about this. ]
Yeah, you're definitely the first.
[so he can't forget that ever.]

I probably won't be the last, though. You've got friends here too, Roxas.
[ Hiro could totally make you a Keyblade Glider lbr. ]

I guess. I never really thought about it before, since I never... wanted anything.
[not that he minds these things, of course. but he just never really had the concept of a want for material items.]

[this is what eye rolls were made for: idiots saying idiotic things. riku takes full advantage of his eyes' abilities and rolls them like a pro. way to not only ignore the question but in the dumbest way possible.]
You really need to work on those people skills.
[just saying.]
I doubt she'd have appreciated me calling you up when you were probably the last person she wanted to see right then. The plan was to give it a couple days, give her space and then contact you.
[so stop bristling, kitten, or else riku is finding a squirt-bottle and spritzing you with water.]

I know... well, I didn't know about never, but it was hard to come up with a present at first.
[ HE'S JUST HAPPY WITH ICE CREAM. ]

I've got one more thing I've gotta do before we go anywhere but it shouldn't take long. I think we've just gotta figure out how we're all getting there you know? Baymax can fly but it still might take a day or two. Plus the monsters and stuff.
But I think we could probably take them down, what with your two keyblades and all.
[That is to say, Roxas. Friend. Now would be a great explanation time.]

I didn't say I needed to see her, did I?
[it's not like he was ready for it either, after the fight they'd had. but he wanted to at least know she was okay, wherever she was. going days without knowing where she was led to him never even getting the chance to resolve things.
it sucks. and it hurts, and it's definitely not helping roxas to ease up any.]

[he is happy with just ice cream, but he has no complaints about this either.]
Well... Even if it took you a while... I like it.
