Riku held his hand out in front of Kairi for the cell phone, knowing already that Sora was going to pass it to him. "When do you two plan to go?" he asked. The sooner they tracked Smith down, the better. Roxas looked from Riku to Sora at the question. "Whenever we're both ready, I guess," he answered honestly. If Sora was ready to go, then they would leave now; Roxas had mentally prepared himself for this on the way over here.
Oceans - Rob Costlow
It iz okeh. :3
Riku looked from Sora to Namine, understanding what was going on here. Sora was taking Kairi's phone so he could in turn call Namine's while she was here, just in case they needed to contact each other. It sounded like a good idea to him.
And I iz still jealous. xD
Kairi nodded, leaning forward to pull the device out of her back pocket. Once she had it in her hand, she handed it to Sora wordlessly.
Hungry anymore? x3
"Right," Roxas said, nodding once in agreement. That sounded like a good idea. Riku looked from Roxas to Sora. "You two go then. I'll stay with Kairi and Namine," he declared. He had no idea where the warehouse they were talking about was. It would be easier for them to go and for him to stay here.
So jealous. xDD
Roxas shrugged a little, his eyes on Sora now. "Possibly," he said, admitting that it could happen. "The thing is, we have no idea where he is." How could he lure them somewhere when they didn't have a clue as to his whereabouts? "That's when you have to trust your senses," Riku said instantly. He remembered that he could smell Darkness during his visit to Castle Oblivion in the past. It was kind of like that.
That sounds really good, actually. xD
Riku glanced to Kairi and then looked back at Sora and Roxas. Now that they established that... "Any ideas on a plan?" he asked. Now that they knew what Smith was after, perhaps it would be easier to come up with a plan. "Somebody definitely has to stay with Namine and Kairi," Roxas stated instantly, knowing that Smith was seeking vengeance. One of his ways of finding it would be through the girls. He just knew it. "After what he said to us back there, we can't risk leaving them by themselves." Kairi bit her lip, growing nervous at the turn this conversation was turning. Her eyes found Namine immediately at the mention, knowing that they were in the line of fire as well.
Me too. All I ended up having earlier was cookies. Dx
Riku's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought about it. "You have a point. But I think he's trying to find a way to gain more power anyway. Once you leave the Realm of Darkness, you never want to go back." He knew firsthand, and the fact that he had to return only to be set up in a trap really ticked him off. Regardless, he was just glad to be out of there for now. "I have a feeling that's exactly what he's trying to do: make the two work together." Kairi's eyes were down on her hands, but then she looked up. "...Kinda like what Nathaniel wanted with me?" she asked, remembering how he had wanted his Darkness and her power of Light to rule together over his Kingdom. Did that apply here as well? Roxas ran his fingers through his hair, not sure how to answer that question. It was a possibility, but Sora was right. How would that work out?
Yuppers. =)
Riku nodded once. "That's exactly what I'm thinking," he said. He turned his eyes to Sora and Roxas then, pointing something out that he hadn't realized until now. "Think about it. Every person that any of us have sent to the Realm of Darkness has wanted power in one way or another. Now that he's escaped the Realm and come into this one, he's only looking for more of it." Roxas was beginning to catch on, his eyebrows furrowing. "The Realm of Light is stronger," he stated then, his eyes on Riku. It only made sense. Light had defeated Darkness for years, and now that Smith escaped the Realm of Darkness, the Realm of Light only had more opportunities for him.
I love it. So pretty. :3
Roxas nodded stiffly to Sora's words. His first thought would have been for Smith to go after Namine or Kairi, but it seemed that wasn't the case. "...Obviously he didn't get enough from the Realm of Darkness," he pointed out. "So what do you think he wants here?" Riku furrowed his eyebrows and let his sight drop from Roxas to the floor in front of him as he pondered over the possibilities. He knew how the Realm of Darkness worked, having been there himself in the past. "He had enough power to get out of the Realm after Sora and I defeated our enemies. I'm starting to think that wasn't enough to satisfy him," he stated seriously. Smith had seemed very power-hungry when he saw him back in the Dark Realm. With the influence of Darkness, he could only want more.
Yuppers. I missed Rob Costlow. xD
Riku had his hands clasped, elbows resting on his knees as he turned his gaze to Roxas and Namine. He wondered how Namine was feeling, considering Sora had told him and Kairi that she was experiencing more dizziness. It was obviously because of Smith, who they needed to track down. He turned his gaze to Roxas and Sora, who were conveniently sitting near each other. "We have to come up with a plan," he started, breaking the silence as he focused on the business they needed to tend to. "We can't go into this with any doubts."
