You're wrong.

Fight me sometime when it won't affect Roxas, but you're wrong. [Gestures to the numbing Roxas. He's said it before and he will again, Lea is to Roxas as Thatch is to Marco. Marco empathizes well with Roxas, and when he went nearly comatose the only person he would snap out of it from was Thatch.] Talk to Chandra, ask the journal about time travel, put together your facts, and we'll discuss theories. On the journal, or another time. For now, I'm going for a smoke.

Delude yourself whatever you want, hell, believe I'm deluded, but I'm still going my own way.

There is no place left for Thatch, Ace, and a half dozen others. I told you that before. Sending them back, kills them. I won't do it.

[As for wanting Lea dead. No, nothing about that, that was because Marco thought Lea felt unwelcome on the ships, which he assumed was on Marco's part because of well... things like this? It doesn't matter.]

[Marco leaves with a single-handed wave, but as he promised, he'll be in the crow's nest either when Roxas is okay, or if Lea wants to continue later.]

[Roxas isn't really listening to the conversation anymore. His mind was racing and he wanted nothing else to do with it. Usually when he's confused people don't push him quite so hard, he's never really had the experience of being truly overloaded. When Lea shifts around, he draws his knees up and curls up, his eyes shuttering a little.

He doesn't want to deal with it or anything else. He can feel his mind stop racing, the thoughts drifting away. That's better.]

[Lea heaves a sigh and rests his head on Roxas' shoulder.]

Roxas, if I ever get mad at you for not listening again, just say "well, at least I'm not Marco" and I'll shut up.

[He knows Roxas isn't ready to hear anything else, but there are things he needs to say, since they have at least a few more days on this ship to get through and he knows Marco won't pass up an opportunity to confuse things more.]

If it makes it easier for you, don't even bother to figure out the whole time travel thing. He's just latched on to that as an excuse. We're not talking about time here, we're talking about what's going on right now. Just think about what you know about dark corridors and how darkness connects things.

[Roxas just shakes his head a little. He takes a few deep breaths to calm himself. He isn't really sure how Lea managed to process all of that, but then again Lea is smarter than him. He leans against Lea heavier.]

My head hurts.

[by_heart]

So does mine, believe me. That's what happens when you listen and try to make sense of this stuff. I'm sure Marco's head doesn't hurt at all.

[He rolls his eyes and pats Roxas on the back.]

You think it through, okay? Write down questions if you have to. When we get back, I'll explain everything.

[He makes a frustrated little noise in the back of his throat.]

I'm sure Marco believes all that stuff, but that doesn't mean it's right. That's what he's decided based on hearing what he wants to hear from people who already agree with him. Just think about what you already know. You've lived through this stuff.

[heartismyown]

I know. I'm just really confused and I don't really know what's going on anymore.

[He frowns and slides his arms around Selphie's middle to lean on Lea as if he were the smaller one.]

I tried.

[by_heart]

[Lea pets his hair. This is awkward.]

I know you tried. You're gonna have to try more, too, so don't just give up because you don't get it. Sleep on it, think it over, and we'll talk when we get home.

[heartismyown]

[Roxas nods a little bit. He just needs time to process everything, that's all.]
