[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]

I think I need company.

[You're not supposed to be alone when grieving, right?]

From:

wing_attack

I'll be there soon.

[It doesn't take too long for him to pack up, so he hops on Regal and flies off to Mahogany. Once he's there, he starts poking around for Roxas. ... It's not a very big town, so he spots him pretty easily and heads over, returning Regal to his Pokeball.]

Roxas?

From:

seasaltkey

[Roxas hadn't even replied to the text. He just kept standing there in the cold, his little Torchic shivering beside him.

His head turns when he hears Tobias' voice.]

... It's been an hour already?

From:

wing_attack

I was at the Lake of Rage, so I wasn't very far.

[He frowns at how Roxas is looking, and kneels down to pick up the Torchic.]

Hey there. You both look like you're cold.

From:

seasaltkey

[Of course that little Torchic is happy to be picked up, but he still wants his trainer. Warm up, then scramble away later.]

... yeah, I should get inside.

From:

wing_attack

[He moves over to tuck him into one of Roxas' pockets. Here you go, buddy.]

Have you eaten today? You should eat if you haven't...

From:

seasaltkey

[Nice warm pocket. This'll do.

Roxas shakes his head.]

I don't think so.

From:

wing_attack

Come on. I think there's a restaurant nearby that didn't look so expensive. You shouldn't just stand out here all day.

[He gestures for Roxas to follow along. Maybe some direction will help.]

From:

seasaltkey

Okay...

[He's so cold and numb that he'll just follow you, Tobias.]

From:

wing_attack

[It doesn't take too long for him to guide Roxas into the restaurant and over to a table.]

Their pizza is pretty good here... just get whatever you want, though.

From:

seasaltkey

Pizza's fine.

[Don't mind a Dedenne climbing out of his coat and looking over a menu. He knows what his trainer likes and is quick to point it out.]

From:

wing_attack

[He looks down at the little mouse and - oh.]

Thanks.

[He gives the orders to the waiter, and orders a hot chocolate for both of them.]

From:

seasaltkey

[Vivi appreciates being listened to, giving Tobias a wave.]

... he likes doing things like that.

From:

wing_attack

He's looking out for you. And I think you have a lot of people looking out for you, actually... if you let them.

... That doesn't mean you can't miss Namine, though.

From:

seasaltkey

... I hate that this world does this. I hate it a lot.

[Taking friends away for no reason.]

From:

wing_attack

... Yeah. I do, too. But they'd want you to keep going, right?

From:

seasaltkey

[Is that true? Would Naminé want him to go on? It does sound right, but at the same time it's hard to think about.]

I don't know. It's not like I can ask them.

From:

wing_attack

... I think most people would. Though I guess I couldn't tell you for sure.

From:

seasaltkey

I want her to come back. I don't want her to go back to... that.

From:

wing_attack

I... I know.

[He's not sure what happened in her world, but... well. There's nothing he can do to make it easier.]

Look... it... I can't tell you that missing them is a feeling that's going to go away, because it's not. But... I can be here for you, at least. All right?
