I... don't really know. One day I was just able to do it... not long before I ended up here.

[okay, that's not entirely true, because he knows it's something he couldn't do until after xion had disappeared, but he can't say that he knows or understands why it would happen that way. if she "went back" to sora, it didn't have much to do with him, it's not like he could inherit her abilities the way she could with his.

it's not like he can know he's got the heart of another keyblade wielder sleeping in him, after all.]

[That would be a very sad conversation, let's not have that conversation. He can't help but wonder though...]

Roxas? This is going to sound really weird but do you know any more about your world than you did when we first met?

[yeah, that's definitely not a conversation he really wants to have. not that he really wants to have this one, either.]

Yeah... not much. A little bit, though. [and most of it is either not good or extremely confusing.] Why?

I guess I was just wondering. I've learned a lot of stuff from Riku and it's just...confusing. All of it is really confusing. Sometimes I wonder if this place is better for some people than their own worlds.

I dunno. I don't get much about it either.

What did he tell you, anyway? [forever wary of anything riku does: a life story.]

Just some stuff about how the Keyblade chose him and the whole mastery thing and how he can sense light and darkness. A lot of it was a lot more complex than I thought and when he was telling me

[He stops. Right. Most of that conversation was on the tail-end of Tadashi's second death.] Anyway. Is it supposed to be a secret or something?

I don't know much about that stuff. Keyblade Masters and all that... I didn't know about it until Terra told me.

I don't really know if it's supposed to be a secret or anything either. I was just wondering what he said, that's all.

Riku says a lot of stuff. Kinda likes to hear the sound of his own voice sometimes.

[It's a joke, but.] Anyway...don't worry too much about it. I was just curious. It's kinda weird what we're learning about this world though. Hey. You still have your mask?

Sometimes? More like ALL the time.

[listen, okay. riku's a jerk. ]

My mask? Yeah... I didn't get rid of it or anything. Why?

Tell me how you really feel about him. [Jeez Roxas.]

And just curious. It's not following you or doing anything else weird since we got back?

[listen, when it comes to riku, he has Strong Feelings.]

Nope... It's just like a regular mask now. I don't even think you'd know it was ever weird by looking at it now.

It bugs me that that's the answer I'm getting from everybody. But it's still gray and everything? Mine's still got the weird barcode on it, too. Maybe we're overthinking it. [Never mind that there's no "we", it's literally all just Hiro at the moment.]

Yeah, it looks the same. But it's not doing anything WEIRD aside from looking kind of creepy.

[it really is all just hiro. of course, roxas really doesn't know what it means either, or why it would change so suddenly. but he's got no answers or reasons for it.]

Guess that's the end of that. Anyway...when we're both rested up, you should show me more of what you can do with your Keyblades. Call me curious. And after that we should hang out more anyway.

[After everything that happened out there, it's not a bad idea to keep a closer eye on his friends.]

Yeah... sure. Hanging out sounds fun. I don't really know what I can show you with my Keyblades, but it's fine.

[by which he mostly means that he's not sure what hiro would want to see. it's not like he thinks most of what he does is very impressive; having the keyblade is still kind of a burden on him that he's not sure how to deal with anyway.]

Uh, anything? I come from a world where this kind of stuff doesn't happen, remember? We'll figure it out. I think we're all going to take it easy for the next could of days.

Oh, right... I guess not many people have them where I'm from either. I'm just not used to people asking stuff like that.

[There's a considerable pause.]

Would it be better if I didn't ask?

I don't mind. Just because I'm not used to it doesn't mean it's bad, right?

There just was never a reason for people to ask before, that's all.

I don't think so, but sometimes people get mad when I ask a lot of questions or try to learn about stuff that isn't my business.

[Alternatively, they try to kill him. So there's that.]

Tell you what. If I can ask you a lot of questions about stuff like that, you can ask me about whatever you want, whenever you want. Sound fair?

I guess if it's not your business I get it, but... I don't think there's anything to get mad about when you ask questions.

[then again, roxas also asks a lot of questions. how else are you supposed to learn?]

Either way... sounds fair to me. Sorry if I can't answer some of it though. There's... a lot I don't know too.

Try telling that to a lot of people back in San Fransokyo. I'm kinda glad for that. I can't have you be smarter than me :P [Hiro stop using emotes on Roxas...] We can figure it all out later, let's just focus on regrouping for now and resting up.

[it's okay, roxas knows a little about emotes by now.]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe I'll use that time to try to get smarter than you. :) :)

Dream on! It'll be a challenge. Anyway I'll catch you later dude. Text if you need anything before I see you next!

[And he'll cut the conversation. He's pretty happy with himself truth be told. It's nice having friends...]
