It was— [he almost starts to explain, but roxas cuts himself short. but it's a little less because he doesn't want riku to know and a lot more that he just doesn't know how to explain it.
or if it would even be worth explaining.]
...No, never mind. [he says with an air of defeat, shaking his head.] It's not important. It... was stupid.
[riku arches a brow. not important? riiiight. great job on showing how unimportant it all is with all the uncaring facial expressions and neutral tone and general indifference. best actor award goes to roxas.]
Stupid enough to get her to leave, huh? That's pretty stupid alright.
[the blunt commentary is also a backhanded way of implying that he won't press the subject more than that. he goes back to toying with the mask before adding a bit more to that.]
Nice thing about stupid arguments is that you figure out pretty quick just how stupid they are. Seeing as she has you beat in the brains department, she probably realized it earlier.
[...is riku attempting to be comforting?? maybe just a little.]
[which is partially not her fault, but had she realized it and still stayed away? and if she did, what did that mean? there's a lot that remains unanswered, and roxas gets the feeling it might never be answered, either.]
Then you gotta make that apology count next time you see her.
[he pauses before glancing back toward roxas.]
And that isn't a question of if, but when.
[they both end up in the same place, after all. maybe this place will somehow mess with their memories or maybe it won't, but xion and roxas will meet again. riku is certain of that much.]
[it's kind of hard to take what riku says at face value, and he's still pretty leery of things. but he'll ask this anyway, because he does know that riku knows more than he does about the future.]
[roxas doesn't know how to respond to that, honestly. he's sure riku isn't lying. if he's sure of it, roxas has to believe it. he's a jerk, but he's not a liar when it counts.
not that he knows how to take it, when roxas can't figure out how it would be possible. one problem at a time, though...]

...Will I really see her again?
no subject
Yeah. I can't say I know the details about why or how, but you will.
