[ it was Not a real suggestion, and yet. he pauses ]

... But it might be worth trying anyway?

[reconnective]

[...]

If it'll get me answers. And if means keeping all of the other worlds and my friends safe instead of letting some weirdo maybe experiment on them? Yeah. It's worth it.

[skyagain]

He's definitely a weirdo. [ he looks at the hotel warily ] ... But I have to give him credit that his weirdness seemed less...

[ ...well he still gave away some wishes somehow ]

[reconnective]

...malicious? [tiredly. he knows.] Yeah. Even after everything that happened, the Realm felt less...hopeless, in the end.

[skyagain]

... I really hate giving that guy credit. [ kind of sighs and looks at sora ] That he's not totally evil might make him more dangerous. Means he's got an actual agenda, and it's harder to guess.

[reconnective]

I never wanted to give him credit either, but comparatively? No contest. [...] That's exactly why I have to go back though.

[skyagain]

... Can't say I'm the biggest fan of that, but your friends'll find you.

[ he sounds more convinced of that than sora probably is. it's fine. ]

[reconnective]

Yeah. They will. [he does sound a little more confident.] But you should still try to visit before I get back if you want. If you guys finish your job in time.

[skyagain]

If I manage that before they find you, I'm kicking your ass for real. [ he's going to be HITCHHIKING around MULTIPLE CONTINENTS ] You've waited long enough.

[ a year is too long thanks ]

[reconnective]

You'd have to catch me first. [a joke. but...] I don't mind waiting. As long as I know there's still stuff waiting for me, too.

[skyagain]

[ ruffles his hair at that. there. he caught you. ]

Yeah, well, I'm not showing up at your island unless you're there. I don't do stranger parties.

[reconnective]

[hee. unfortunately, again, without the veil cloud can see that sora's just :D about this.]

It would not be a stranger party. [a beat.] Besides, I think...I might ask Clem if she wants to go back there with AJ and her other friends.

[skyagain]

[ stop being obviously :D he'll stop!! ]

... Permanently? [ he looks at sora curiously ]

[reconnective]

[no!!!! then he'll just obviously be :(!!!]

Yeah. Uh. [...awkwardly petting meow wow instead.] We kinda talked. She was thinking about trying to find somewhere new and permanent for her and the others at the place she's at right now.

[skyagain]

[ huh. ]

Might not be a bad idea. Her world still isn't fully safe even if she got rid of all the undead in it. [ a beat. ] You think she'd go for it if you're not around, though?

[reconnective]

Yeah...[he thinks that over though.] I don't know. I think it depends on who the other people are. I know she knows I'll come back someday, so...it probably depends if she thinks she can or will wait for me, too.

[skyagain]

I think it's less about waiting and more about her waiting around a bunch of people she doesn't know, Sora.

[ he sounds a little amused. ]

[reconnective]

She'd have her friends, and then she could make friends with my friends. It'd work out.

[would it.]

[skyagain]

... You might as well ask her anyway, even if she moves in later.

[ immediately just dismissing her doing it Now w/o sora ]

[reconnective]

[...]

What are you going to do about the other two then?

[what if he changes the subject like an asshole.]

[skyagain]

[ Looks Away ]

... I've got my business to finish, first. We'll see after that.

[reconnective]

[calmly staring.]

How is that any different than what I'm doing then?

[skyagain]

I'm not alone in an endless void. [ deadpan ] ... Tifa, Aerith, Barret and Red are with me. Lup and Jason have their own stuff to deal with it.

[reconnective]

It's still unfinished business. [but okay, yeah, he can't really argue that either.] ...whatever you decide to do after that is up to you I guess.

[skyagain]

... I said I'd call them during. [ he admits a little reluctantly ] But I don't want to... mess them in with all of that.
