[Video; Filtered to Armin and Roxas]

[A day or two after the tournament and the discovery Rise had made...Sora decided maybe it was time to try to mend bridges. Or at least, own up to his own mistakes. And so, he leaves a video message for them.]

Hey guys....

Listen, uh...[how to phrase this] I'm still...kinda mad that you locked me in a closet for two days. That wasn't cool, okay?

But...I'm sorry I didn't listen to you two about the tournament in the first place. I got too wrapped up in my own ego and didn't think things through. You guys are my friend and brother. I should've stopped and at least hear you guys out before I made a decision.

So...sorry. About all that.

[Action - Pokemon Habitat]

[A little while later after that's over with, Sora can be found near a pond in the Pokemon Habitat. The man-made pond itself is devoid of Pokemon except for one large Gyarados sitting in it. Like all Gyarados, she's huge and pretty scary looking. However, Sora is too busy trying to give her directions regarding a large rock next to him. And for some reason, his clothes and hair seem to be pretty damp.]

Okay, Dory- let's try this again! Just break the rock! I know you can do it!

[The Gyarados gives out a terrifying roar that sounds fitting for a Godzilla movie to get pumped. She raises herself up, opens up her wide jaws and-]

[Slaps the water with her tail as Dory uses Splash. The slap is powerful enough to make a big enough wave to get the first few rows of Seaworld (or rather- Sora and the rock) wet, but besides that it's not very effective.]

[Sora groans as he wipes water off his face. Maybe she really did forget that she evolved.]

Uh...good try, Dory!

[Wow yep that is definitely sass. Sass he responds to with an eyeroll]

Oh please, like you know every single Pokemon that can be found in that area. But I do know there shouldn't be ice in a place that's constantly hot.

Grass and Bug types shouldn't be in a place that's constantly hot.

Well...maybe some...like living on the edge. You don't know their life.

[Or something. WHATEVER HE REFUSES TO ADMIT DEFEAT]

Maybe some Ice Pokemon like living on the edge.

[ Sure it was Xion's Spheal that caused the ice but for he's saying this for argument's sake. ]

Yeah, well-!

[Okay he's got nothing- BUT]

I'm still not a klutz!

You don't have to be a klutz to be careless.

[Almost wants to argue- but wait no that's how the fight went so bad last time. So he gives a little huff as he tries to bite it down a little]

If I'm careless, you're a stubborn worrywart.

I--

[ Pausing because Sora has a point. ]

Scorched Forest wasn't...bad.

[ Despite the chaos good things happened too so ]

[!]

[He wasn't expecting that.]

Really? You thought so?

Sora evolved and I bonded with Fira. Louis and Naveen were really happy to go.

[ They haven't tried running off since. ]

Yeah, that's true. A lot of good things did happen to you.

[Even if Fira is a jerk. But whatever]

I'm glad. I was worried you really hate it. [a beat] Okay maybe retroactively worried.

I did hate it when we first arrived. [ He wanted to just teleport back home, sit on his head, and hug Sora for comfort. ] But... not as much when we left.

Well, that's still something!

Do you think you'd ever go again?

[ A small nod ]

... Yeah. One day. But if I go somewhere again it'll be someplace different.

[Again he's surprised, but happily so. He hadn't expected Roxas to actually think about going somewhere else. The smile on the video feed is very apparent as he nods.]

Yeah. There's a lot better places than the Scorched Forest. Lea's kinda weird for picking it.

[ Having such adventurous companions who push him to go out seem to be doing wonders now that he's done absolutely refusing. ]

Where would you have taken us? Lea is also a Fire and Dark type.

He is? Well that explains why he picked it.

[Fire types. So predictable with their pyro-loving]

And let see...my favorite spot so far's the top of the canyon. The view's so beautiful and the wind's pretty great! Then again, that place's probably hard to get around if you're not a flying-type.

So...maybe the Lake Shrine! It's pretty, and it's fairly peaceful too as long as you don't run into Squirtles in sunglasses! [a small laugh]

Edited 2014-03-07 05:25 (UTC)

[ He nods. He's an Analyst so Lea doesn't even have to tell him to know. ]

I don't think I would go to the Canyon alone. [ There's something about the canyon that he isn't fond of. ]

... If I run into any Squirtles in sunglasses I won't fight them myself. [ The Lake Shine though. Sounds... like an idea. Maybe. ]

[Is it the giant cliff Roxas? It's fair if it's the giant cliff]

Hey, who said you have to go alone? I'd go with you!

[And yes good, avoid the sunglasses Squirtle battles. They are only for the most manly]

[ Yeah it's likely the giant cliff. ]

If... you want to.

[ Or for the most insane-- ]

Of course I want to!

I mean, unless you don't want me there.

[Shhh. shhh. Manly]

No it'd.. it'd be better if you do.

[ In your dreams Sora ]

Okay. Then wherever you go, I'll be right there with you.

[ Wait he has to choose when to go why ]

I don't know when I'll go.

[Because its your idea dork!]

That's okay! I can wait.
