[Roxas is the type to use videos, but right now it wasn't something he felt in the mood to do. But someone needed to know this if they hadn't figured it out.]

I think Naminé left.
I got some of her Pokémon.
Tried calling her but she's not answering.
Did anyone else get some of her Pokémon?


[Action for those in Mahogany]
[Roxas can be seen walking around outside with his usual little Dedenne peeking out of his scarf. Though this time there's a little Torchic following him as well. The little fire type seems fine in the cold, though he does his best to keep up with the aimless wandering of his trainer.

Feel free to pull him in from the cold, or join him in his sad wandering around town]

Then... maybe it would be better talking to her. She's probably hurting, too.

[How does he emotions.]

[Action]

[seasaltkey]

Maybe... we're not used to having a hearts. I don't think.

[wing_attack]

Not used to having hearts? What do you mean?

[seasaltkey]

[How to explain.]

I'm a Nobody. Nobodies don't have hearts.

[wing_attack]

[He's about to argue the biological impossibility but he just shuts up because he can turn into an Andalite and they have two hearts so what does he even know?]

... Well, I can't say I'm an expert, but I can try to help if you guys have questions about them.

[seasaltkey]

... why do some feelings just really hurt like this? It hurts all over, not just in my chest.

[That's an important one.]

[wing_attack]

... So when you get stressed out, your body reacts. Even if it's not going to, it thinks something's wrong - that's why your heart might race, because your body thinks it's about to start running or fighting. I don't... know all of the biology, but I know that puts stress on other parts of your body, which is why you feel sick.

[He's... pretty sure that's right.]

Humans... I don't know about in this world, but in mine there used to be a lot of predators around. And nature takes a lot longer to take out features than to put them in. So even if humans are pretty comfortably dominant, they still have those old instincts.

[seasaltkey]

[Stress has to do with hearts? Those were things Roxas thought would never be put together. Stress was a body thing and hearts are emotion things. how little he knows]

I don't really get it... but at least there's a reason?

[wing_attack]

Yeah. It's okay, though. You can get through this feeling, I promise.

[seasaltkey]

Right... Thanks. I'm glad you're my friend.

[wing_attack]

I'm glad you're my friend, too.

[seasaltkey]

I think Xion would like you. You're really nice.

[wing_attack]

Oh. Um... thanks?

[Compliments are still weird what even.]

[seasaltkey]

Want me to tell her about you?

[wing_attack]

If... if you want?

[seasaltkey]

I'm traveling with her... so you'll meet her eventually!

[wing_attack]

That'd be nice. I'm more of a loner when it comes to traveling, but traveling with other people can be fun, too.

[seasaltkey]

I don't like traveling alone all that much... it gets really lonely.

[wing_attack]

I guess I'm just kind of... more of a loner. I'm okay being on my own, as long as I've got my Pokemon with me. They're... really good at keeping me company and pulling me back into a fur and feather pile if I need contact.

[seasaltkey]

I like being with my Pokémon... but they can't really hold a conversation.

[wing_attack]

I've gotten pretty good at figuring out what they want to say, I think.

[seasaltkey]

Does that work with people, too? Understanding what they want without talking to them?

[wing_attack]

Apparently, though I've never been able to figure it out.

[seasaltkey]

Me either. Sometimes smiles are fake.

[wing_attack]

Yeah... it's hard to figure out sometimes.
