[Ace accidentally broke the chalk, trying to follow Roxas.]

...I didn't get any of that.

[heartismyown]

[Roxas blinks. Maybe he went too fast.]

Well. Axel and I are best friends. We used to work sort of near Twilight Town, and every day after work we went up the clock tower and had ice cream.

I kind of was born there, if you can call it that. Xemnas found me in Twilight Town and he named me Roxas.

I mostly know of Sora and Riku. I don't really know them though. I don't have any memories before being 'born'. I'm Sora's Nobody.

[hiken]

OK, I get the part where you know Axel. [Whoever Axel was. There, Ace began to get lost.] And you like ice cream and clocks.

[Beyond there, it was getting fuzzier.]

And, I only know Sora and Riku. Also, I thought you're somebody. [Ace reached out to poke Roxas in the forehead to prove this.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas shakes his head a bit.]

Me and Axel were Nobodies. But he's not one anymore. His name is Lea now. I don't have a heart, that's what makes me a Nobody.

[hiken]

...Alright. I'm gonna admit I don't really get it.

[So, he made a decision--]

Until I understand, I'm just gonna call you guys Roxas and Lea and you're gonna be a part of my crew. After that, I think you oughta stay a part of my crew anyway.

[heartismyown]

[He smiles and nods his head. It really is confusing, so he can't blame Ace for being confused. He's confused a lot of the time himself.]

Okay, I'm sure we can do that. Riku brought us here. I've never been near the water like this before. At least, not me anyway.

[hiken]

So, you don't have any sailing experience? [Ace frowned, but he already knew how to deal with that.

Getting the other crew-mates to help.]

Somebody's gotta teach you, huh.

[heartismyown]

[Roxas shakes his head.]

No, I don't know...well a lot of things. I don't know anything about sailing though.

At home I was fighting the Heartless for a long time.

[hiken]

Ehhh. Well, tell you what. If you ever met a guy that brags he knows a lotta things, then you know you've just met a guy who could use a black eye.

We'll just make sure we take what you're good at and see how it works out for the ship, alright?

[heartismyown]

[Roxas smiles and nods a bit.]

Okay! Well I'm pretty sure I'm good at fighting. I'm not really sure why though.

[He takes a step back and holds out his hands until Oblivion and Oathkeeper appear and he crosses them in front of him.]

These are my keyblades.

[hiken]

[Ace would have been amazed were it the first time he'd seen keyblades. Sora got all the hype, but when Roxas did it--it was just--]

...You guys really like swords shaped like things that aren't really swords.

[heartismyown]

They're not normal swords. They release the hearts taken from the Heartless into Kingdom Hearts.

[hiken]

To be, a sword's just somethin' sharp you can stab or cut somebody with.

You can do that with those things, right? Even if it does special stuff.

[heartismyown]

Yeah, I can cut stuff with it.

[He grins, dropping them and watching them vanish.]

[hiken]

Good. Then, if that's the case, you gotta go to Thatch so he can tell me how proficient you are.

[heartismyown]

Thatch? Okay, I can show him. I'm pretty good, I think.
