Rating: PG

"Roxas is a Nobody. My Nobody. Says he doesn't have a heart."

Three tiny slivers of information were all Sora had written down in the journal he'd been keeping for Jiminy Cricket. Though they were less information and more direct answers to questions he had, though he hadn't yet been able to connect the two. What is a Nobody? What did Roxas mean when he said he was, in a way, half of who Sora is? How the heck does one live without his or her heart? Last time Sora tried that trick, his body disintegrated into light, what senses he had left fell through the floor... and awakened again in Johto.

He had other questions, too, about doubles and lookalies, but... that wasn't exactly a subject Sora was interested in broaching, and he wondered if Roxas felt the same way. It'd already kept him awake at night enough since last week as it was. Sora closed the little notebook in his hands with a sigh as he sat himself down in the grass and waited for Roxas. The sudden new music wasn't really helping him relax, either.

"It is," Sora murmured, his gaze drifting off in the distance as he sat thoughtfully. "Maybe now we could figure out a way to... you know, not merge."

That was kind of a long shot, though-- he'd been told that sometimes, when you leave Johto, you forget everything that happened here. And then sometimes you shrink to a year younger than everybody remembers you and you're tossed back in completely unawares.

Still, if there was something Sora could do to prevent what sounded like a really unfair fate, heck, he was going to try. He still stared off down the route as he spoke, and continued doing so after he'd finished.

Roxas paused, thinking about Sora's suggestion. If they could figure that out, it would, it would be exactly what he wanted. A chance for them to keep being like this. Two separate people.

Granted, Roxas didn't really have any desire to go back to his world, unless not merging became an option and a guaranteed one at that. It hadn't been something he'd worried about here because of the lack of powers.

"Yeah, maybe. If we could, I'd like that. But for now, I'm alright just being as we are."

"As friends, right?"

Sora just needed to make sure. It would be strange to know someone who was a part of him, and then they weren't friends.

"Yeah, as friends," Roxas agreed. He wanted to be friends with Sora, had wanted to since he'd started having the dreams about him.

"Was there anything else?"

He was quiet for a few minutes, mulling that over. Was there anything else? Sure, there was plenty else, but that all felt irrelevant now. Sora knew what a Nobody was, and how he and Roxas were connected-- and there was an Organization helping fight the Heartless to boot! He was satisfied with his knowledge on what was probably uncomfortable for Roxas to share. Now it was time to focus on other things.

"I think I'm good. Want to hang back for a while, or go catch up with the others?"

"Alright," Roxas said, before pausing. He wasn't really sure what he wanted to do. He wasn't entirely comfortable joining everyone else, since he still saw himself as an outsider. He didn't really want to intrude on their friendships.

"Uh, if you want to go on, you can. I think I'm just going to train for a bit," he said finally. He felt like he needed time to think.
