[it's for the better that way. he's at least grateful she didn't question it more, because it would open up a can of worms that probably isn't good to start talking about yet.]
It's a little better this way, right? ...Not being alone. [he'll say after a bit of silence. the ice cream is implied to be part of that too, but he doesn't say it.]
[he gives mary a nod, and a bigger smile—encouraging, isn't it.]
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. [one he may not be good at keeping himself sometimes, but this is meant for making her feel better, so roxas isn't really thinking in those terms right now.]

[being alone. he much prefers to spend that time with friends, so he understands her sentiments pretty well. for once in life.]
So let's not do things alone if we don't have to.

[ She might have to move her ice cream rather precariously if they're linking pinkies again, though. ]

[that's right, this is a thing, pinky promises. he nods a little, matching her expression before meeting her pinky with his own and linking it.]
