Possibly going somewhere?
It's funny...not like "ha ha" funny, but the other kind. In all of the years you and me have been together, this is the first time you've ever thought about apping me into a game since my backstory came out. [Melancholy at its finest right here.]
Do you even know what you're doing? [He's also a tiny bit amused.] Seven years is a really long time to play me based on only one game. Besides, didn't you just drop me from that other place not too long ago? Maybe a fresh start isn't so bad, but c'mon. Think about it. What about everything that happened while I was there? What about all of my friends I made in the four years you kept me trapped?
Make new ones, huh? Gee, thanks.

It's still going to be weird though.

Maybe, maybe not. You're just looking at all the bad things.

[Pause.]
Sorry, by the way. Guess I sorta broke my promise.

...I was mad at first. I was really mad but...what could you have done? They had way too much control.

What are you going to do instead?

Mun is saying box, but who knows. Go make some new friends. You'll have Xion there with you anyway.
no subject
I think the box will be good for us. [There's a small pause.] You gonna be mad if I get another best friend? [He's not serious, but he is a little worried about it.]
no subject
Just don't go forgetting about me this time, hey?

Why yes that was kind of evasive.]no subject

All right, all right. Axel.

Good. Anyway, don't be stupid.

She isn't even sure what to say. She wants to say something, but ... does he even remember her? He shouldn't.
Have a quiet girl, Roxas. Hood up, eyes down. ]
no subject
He also knows how to read her. He knows how to read her stance and her expressions and it bothers him that she's so hesitant again.]
...Xion.

Roxas... how do you know my name?

Just...get ready to meet me there. We'll go and we'll eat ice cream together and everything will be okay.
i want to wail at you and i can't :(
gdi I knoooow. and I can't find your aim name suddenly because I was going to make other comments :|
Good. It'll be like a whole other adventure. And maybe someday Axel will come with us, too.

Guess so. [A beat.] Just the three of us?

[Pause, awkward, awkward pause.]
Sorry.
no subject
Whatever. [And he's going to turn to just wander, watching Riku out of the corner of his eye.] So. You're that far ahead, huh?
no subject
Better that than anytime earlier.
[And "earlier" could mean a lot of things. But he decides not to give it anymore specifics. For Riku, "earlier" is a broader scope than anything related to Roxas. And personally, he's fond of not showing up and being a jerk to everyone ... showing up and thinking he's some big guy. There aren't exactly a lot of good points after that, not for him, anyway.
As for his stance, he just stays where he is, watching him, tense. It's different seeing him like this so soon after what he saw inside of Sora's heart. Then again, Roxas isn't meant to be there, so ...]
no subject
That, of course, won't be the case soon and he knows it. He's a little more observant than his mun gives him credit sometimes. Still, he just shakes his head. Did he prefer a later Riku who had matured and learned from his mistakes? It was still hard to say.]
I guess so. I just kinda wonder why you, me and Xion. [Because if you think about it (as Roxas has in the short span of time his mun sprung this on him) they are the three most unlikely people to be thrown together given their history
and jeezes this sounds so soulbondy I am so sorry.]no subject
[It could be Braig or Isa, or even the younger Xehanort. Or the older Xehanort. Or really, any kind of Xehanort, but then again, doesn't that count Braig and Isa? Way to make things complicated, Xehanort.
Any of them could cause problems for Roxas and Xion, and they'd be just the types of problems that someone would have to be there to stop. Actually, that just makes the whole thing suspicious. Him, he doesn't get, but throwing Roxas and Xion together? That'd be a good way to find a thirteenth vessel.
He swallows hard at the realization, but masks his features in the event that Roxas looks back.]
But whatever it is, I'm sure you two won't need my help taking care of yourselves.
[Which is his way of saying he'd back off. Riku isn't very good at the hands off approach—he never has been—but he can keep his distance. Besides, if this is some plan, it could be some strange diversion. Take out the guy just named as a Keyblade Master and lessen the numbers.
Then again, why not Sora, too? But that last clause might just be because Riku has more faith in his friend than himself.]
no subject
On the other though...where there's one, there's bound to be more. He has the thought, too, about who could possibly be worse than Riku. And with the everlooming threat of his memories being wiped entirely and forgetting about Xion? It was something even he recognized as not being able to tackle on his own.]
...but I guess it depends. Maybe by the time I get there I won't remember anything at all. From what I heard, the one pulling the puppet strings is still trying to decide what point in time she wants to take me from. [Which also bothers him. He's really, really tired of being people's tool. Sorry kiddo, you've been a tool for almost a decade. Either way though, that admission is his own way of saying he might need backup. Please don't make him actually admit that.]
no subject
[The idea does make him irritated. Or maybe it's just because he's tired of people being tools, too.]
Well, I guess if you wanna show you have power. Isn't that all something like that's good for?
[Then again, he knows there's a version of him that's gone through the memory loss dance. The idea makes him edgy. Sure, he's better now, in this position and set to go somewhere new completely clueless, but there are always costs.]
no subject
...well. The point is that he knows there are a lot of avenues and it's a lot more disconcerting than when where was only about an hours worth of gameplay for him.] I do know you're going to know more than all of us though. [It's hard to tell if he's a little disgusted by the idea, or relieved.]
no subject
[He knows full well that it doesn't work that way, but the idea of Roxas showing up completely unaware of what he might face—or what he might remember—unsettles him. After all, there's no cap on what they can remember. And he doesn't like that at all. Isn't it worse to get it later?
Still, he wishes his stupid jokes made him feel less tense about all this.]
Either way, at least I know ... things will turn out okay. Someday.
[Even if his chat with Xion hadn't exactly ended with her believing that could exist. It's weird being the optimist. He's still not even sure he is the optimist, but there's hope, right?]
no subject
[Optimism and Riku are a strange sort of animal, but in a way Roxas sort of always knew he had it in him. That doesn't make it any less weird though.] Yeah, someday. Just probably not this day, right?

Or... ask them to remind you of the times you spent together, if you feel like your memory of them are slipping.
