Even if she did... she never came back.

[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.]

[undauntingdawn]

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.]

[coexistent]

[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.]

...Will I really see her again?

[undauntingdawn]

[riku nods. lying about something like this right now goes beneath even his level of jerk. roxas gets straight honesty this time.]

Yeah. I can't say I know the details about why or how, but you will.

[coexistent]

...Okay.

[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...]
