I guess... it's a good thing that you don't have to be.

[because he's here. and he's sure she's got other friends who wouldn't want to see her that way, either.]

[immobileyes]

I'm really glad about that, too! It wasn't fun at all. [ And here, she has people who care about her.

... It's a warm, pleasant feeling. ]

[coexistent]

Yeah. Something like that... it's really never fun.

[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. ]

[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.]

[immobileyes]

Okay-- um, then... here!

[ EXTENDING HER PINKY-- once again with solemnity, yep. This is important. ]

[coexistent]

Oh—right.

[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.]

[immobileyes]

[ He's gotten so good, and Mary's proud, enough to return to her ice cream.

Being alone... yeah, this is much better. ]

[coexistent]

There. It's a promise now.

[he gives her a grin—it already seems like she's doing better than she was before, so maybe he helped? he hopes so.]
