Because this time... I don't have to get through it on my own. [ Not as she was, significantly smaller, huddled under a blanket and trying her hardest not to cry or hate the world because both of those things made it hurt worse. ]
[nothing he's thinking about isn't really anything they haven't gone over before, after all. she's already been his support for those things a lot already—so he's okay with just trying to keep his mind off it.]
If it's either going to be them or us... I can't worry about them. Not after everything they did.
[it's like that for roxas, but he knows that these things happen. maybe they shouldn't, but it's the way life goes, and he's not going to risk his life or mary's to save their skin.]
Why does it have to be them or us? [ That's what she doesn't understand. Is killing them really going to make things any easier for the people dragged here? ]
no subject
[ But she's grateful he's there, or she'd be way more stressed. ]
no subject
[that's why he's sorry. he wants to make her feel better, but he doesn't know how.]
no subject
[ He's here, isn't he? Warm and solid and sharing a blanket nest with her. ]
no subject
[he's still so bad at this sometimes. most of the time.]
no subject
[ It's okay, she's got this. ]

no subject
[that's a mentality roxas can understand, perhaps surprisingly enough. he just nods, edging a little closer to mary.] I'm not going to go anywhere.
no subject
[ Good thing they're past the point of being shy with proximity here-- not that she can remember Roxas ever being shy about it. ]
Yeah... me too. So, um, if you need me... I'm here.
[ In all of her anxious glory. ]

[nothing he's thinking about isn't really anything they haven't gone over before, after all. she's already been his support for those things a lot already—so he's okay with just trying to keep his mind off it.]
I don't really want to think about it, anyway.
no subject
[ Would either one of those work better for him? ]
no subject
[he's concerned about her too, naturally.]
no subject
[ She dragged him into her blanket nest, she can give him some say here. Mary is a benevolent queen. ]
no subject
[an accidentally wasted effort, because roxas has absolutely nothing here.]
no subject
Mm... you know, um... about that thing on the network with Mosley?
no subject
[perhaps not the most comfortable topic of conversation, but it was probably bound to come up eventually.]
no subject
[ Because those options both sort of suck. ]
no subject
[he'd be okay with it if they both were completely and utterly destroyed, honestly.]
no subject
[ Somehow, it doesn't seem right to her. Because death meant someone would never return, and who knew if they had families? ]
no subject

[ But that's all she'll say, heaving a sigh. ]

Do you... want to go back to your own world?
no subject
[so. no, not really.]
no subject
[ He doesn't want to stay here, does he? ]
