Kay.

[Roxas rubs his forehead. He's feeling a little taxed. Fighting with Lea always takes a lot of thought because Lea is tricky, and considering this fight was pushing at that block, whatever it is in his mind that makes him forget things, it's all the worse.

For better or worse, Lea certainly distracted him from his own thoughts.]

What did you want, anyway?

[by_heart]

[That memory of his...Roxas went from threatening him with a Keyblade to having no idea why the fight had started in no time flat.]

Nothing. Forget it.

[Not that he even needs to tell him to.]

[heartismyown]

[He blinks at Lea. He knows that kind of tone and he sighs a little.]

Sorry. Well...what now?

[by_heart]

[Lea shrugs, his arms flopping against the deck. His plans are kind of shot. Might as well lay here until someone gets pissed at him and tells him to get back to the galley.

At least Roxas isn't staring off into space thinking about disappearing anymore. Not that the problem has really been solved, but if he's not oging to talk, he's not going to talk.]

[heartismyown]

[Well quiet is something he's used to getting from Lea sometimes. The whole castle was quiet, but Roxas is feeling a little restless.]

I miss the clock tower.

[by_heart]

It was nice, wasn't it? Just the two of us and some ice cream.

[Probably the only good memories he'll ever have of that time. You couldn't even call all of them bittersweet. There were times when he'd been well and truly happy. As much as he could have been without a heart, anyway.]

[heartismyown]

[Lea is rewarded with a big smile.]

Yeah, I really liked that. It was really fun.

[It's his favourite memory of time with Lea, even better then his vacation with everyone else because those memories weren't really real, were they?]

[by_heart]

You still get to hang out with me here, though. We just don't have any ice cream.

[And now he's gonna get asked to make ice cream.]

[heartismyown]

It feels a little different somehow.

[Roxas thinks about it. Having less to do maybe, or seeing Lea around more than he used to is all very weird.]

The other cook, you know the guy with the soup, he makes really awesome sea salt ice cream! He made me some before he was sick from the witch.

[by_heart]

Mmhm, I think you might have told me about that. Well, don't expect me to make any. We're just gonna have to buy some next time we're in port.

[He may be the one in charge of cooking, but that doesn't mean he has any real talent for it.]

[heartismyown]

But what if we can't find the sea salt kind? Will you make it for me then?

[by_heart]

Pretty sure we already had the "different kinds of ice cream" talk.

[He understands why sea salt is special, but if he tries to make it and screws it up (which is what will probably happen), he's going to get the disappointed face.]</small?

[heartismyown]

[Roxas just blinks at him.]

We did? When? What kinds of ice cream?

[by_heart]

At your birthday party, dummy. I even wrote something in your notebook about that one.

[You'd think he'd at least remember things about ice cream. He's surprised Roxas didn't write more down after he'd given the book back to him.]

[heartismyown]

[He would but there was a lot going on that day. He's been really slacking it in the writing things down department, actually. He dutifully takes out his notebook to read it though when Lea tells him to.]

You want two kinds of ice cream and not in the same carton.

[by_heart]

Yup. I'm surprised you didn't write down anything else. I know I talked about it long enough to make myself hungry.

[All because of that stupid ice cream cake. That abomination. Ice cream cake is just wrong.]

[heartismyown]

Uh, no I didn't.

[He ducks his head a little sheepishly. He really hasn't written much in his book at all.]

[by_heart]

Gimme that.

[Lea tries to snatch the book away from him.]

You better be doing your homework or Professor Lea is going to have to give you detention.

[heartismyown]

Hey! You don't have to grab it.

[He relinquishes the book though, Lea just has to ask. Nicely.]

[by_heart]

[Lea doesn't bother to sit up and just holds the book up over his face to read.]

Geez, you've been slacking on this. I'm going to have to give you homework or something. Gimme a pencil.

[heartismyown]

Aw, homework is boring, do I have to?

[Roxas looks surprised, eyes widening. That rarely happens, it was just an instinct. He does however dig through his pocket and pull out a pen, handing it over wordlessly.]

[by_heart]

Yes, you have to! Look at this thing! When was the last time you actually wrote in it.

[Lea takes the pencil and rolls over on his side so he can write in the book. He leaves Roxas an assignment and hands it back.]

Get that done by tomorrow.

[heartismyown]

Okay, okay.

[Roxas grumbles a little bit. Lea didn't notice how weird that was, so it must have sounded fine. It's not often that 'Sora' turns up.]

[by_heart]

[What comes off as "weird" to Roxas doesn't even register with Lea because it sounds so normal.]

I'm gonna grade it too. If I fail you, I'm gonna give you half my chores in the galley.

[heartismyown]

Hey! That's not fair! I don't want your chores.
