[Mako raises an eyebrow and slightly inclines his head.]

Why not?

There wasn't anything like this going on at home, at least not for me. But I haven't been alive that long. We went to an island and I was watching people have a party there too. It was interesting!
streetferret: (Serious: Dubious)

[On his face is exactly what the sound of his brain stopping, and then backpedaling would look like.]

What are you, fourteen or fifteen? That's long enough for a party. [He originally was looking to see if maybe Roxas might have had a life similar to his, but now he's stuck on that.]

Hmm, nope! There was a pink pony and she made my birthday happen in January and I have to wait until January again to have another one. It was fun though, I had ice cream cake.
streetferret: (what?)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-04-29 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they kind of only happen once a year.

So how old are you now? [He's not even going to try and make heads or tails out of the pink pony part.]
heartismyown: (Chillin')

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-04-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
One! [Roxas holds up a finger to accentuate his point.]

I was one before I came, well just I think. But I didn't have my birthday until January so that's the day I'm going with.
streetferret: (Serious: I think this is going to be bad)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-04-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Either wires got crossed somewhere or the kid's messing with him. Mako just needs to find out which.]

You look a bit big to be just one year old. [He's not hiding any sarcasm in that remark.]

I'm nineteen. You can't be that much younger than me. That's impossible.
heartismyown: (Adorable Look)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-04-29 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe, but I am. I'm a Nobody though. It's kind of complicated really. Sora lost his heart and then I appeared. I just kinda showed up one day just over a year ago in Twilight Town. Sora's fifteen if that helps you. I think.
streetferret: (Bolin: No Bo)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-04-29 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[If anything, Mako's more confused now than before. But he didn't become a detective by missing the details. Sora, whoever that is, is the age Mako had guessed, Twilight Town's where he showed up. Like the Empieza from the sound of it.]

Nnnnot really. [But he's not going to pry further into that, not when it's that complicated.]

But now's your chance to be in a party instead of just watching one. [He's not one to talk, but Mako says it with a casual shrug as he looks at the crew that are participating.]
heartismyown: (Smirk)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-04-29 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It's probably the best decision really.]

Maybe. I like watching people though. It looks like they're all having fun.

[He smiles and shrugs.]

I used to watch people a lot at home after work.
streetferret: (Serious: Gear up)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-04-29 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[If there’s one thing Mako can relate to it’s needing a source of income at a young age. Any respect outside of simply being a fellow crew mate just got a small boost.]

Is that why you skipped the ball, to watch here instead?

[A quick look from the party, to Corsair, and then to the Sun before Mako looks back over to Roxas. Keeping an eye on things is his main concern, but this kid’s a good distraction from letting his mind focus on something that’s not stressful.]
heartismyown: (So confused...)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-04-29 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roxas shakes his head.]

No, Marco told me I should stay here and watch the ship. It isn't the kind of infiltration I'm used to, and Lea pointed out I'm not really suited for it.
streetferret: (Serious: Wait a sec...)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-04-30 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[First thing Mako thinks of is Marco making sure the younger members of the crew stayed clear of anything that could go wrong.]

You don’t seem like the snoop around type. [Sorry, Roxas. You’re fifteen and a kid to him so far.]

Where’s your friend at? That Sora guy. [Guessing he’s a friend, Mako’s still working out just what Roxas told him about that.]
heartismyown: (Gentle Smile)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-04-30 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He could be insulted but he just smiles a little.]

Maybe that's what makes me the perfect snoop around type.

[Roxas blinks a little.] I dunno. Sora's not really my friend but he probably went to the ball with everyone since I don't see him here. I mean maybe someday he'll be my friend...
streetferret: (Unsure: Headscratch)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-05-01 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, he can’t argue that logic. Unsuspecting is the way to go it seems.]

That’s- uh… [Well, now if he just had some water to wash his foot down with. Assuming he and Sora were friends isn’t something he expected to backfire.]

Well, yeah. Maybe. [Suggestions perhaps?]

If you can find my brother, Bolin, in this mess, [Party, Mako. It’s a party.] I’m pretty sure he’d be game for hanging out.
heartismyown: (Pondering)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-05-01 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs a little bit.]

It's okay, Lea is my best friend and he'll always be my best friend. So if Sora's not my friend it's okay. Since I'm going to disappear, it might be better. He and I are the same person after all. [He pauses.] Well, supposed to be.

Bolin? I don't think I met him before. Hard to say...

[He thinks about it.]
streetferret: (Serious: Alone)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-05-02 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Same person. The closest thing Mako can relate that to is the Avatar and her past lives. Sort of.]

You'd know if you have. [Because seriously, it's Bolin.]

When you say disappear, you mean go back home? Or something else?
heartismyown: (Depressed)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-05-02 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roxas shakes his head.]

I wouldn't. The name isn't familiar. Maybe if I saw him I would know but I can't remember things very well. [Like your name. What was it again?]

Both. I have to go home for it to happen, but yeah when I get back I'll disappear, back into Sora. [He pauses for a moment to take a breath and gather his thoughts.]

See, I'm a Nobody. I don't have a heart. Sora lost his heart somehow a year and a half ago and there I was, I appeared in Twilight Town. Sora got his heart back, as far as I know. Naminé made his memories go all over the place, but I don't really know what that means. Then after a year they came for me because Sora is sleeping and he need me to be a part of him to wake up again. Everything I've done...

[His fingers clench into fists on his lap.]

Doesn't matter. I'm going to disappear.
streetferret: (Surprised: You have three WHAT?)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-05-03 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now that’s a perfectly good excuse to not participate in a party. Better than the one Mako’s using, not that he’d admit it. This is much heavier than anything he’s expecting.]

Everyone’s got a heart. You wouldn’t be alive without one. [So helpful…]

But if this Sora’s here and awake, and you’re here and not disappearing, then what makes you think it’s going to happen at home?

[He should probably drop the subject, but the detective side of Mako’s brain wants to logic it out.]
heartismyown: (Adorable Look)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-05-03 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

No, no heart. I don't know how Nobodies are alive. Maybe I'm not really. Lea said something that maybe I made my own heart but we don't really know anything. I shouldn't be able to feel anything, but I do. If I die, I disappear completely. Heart-people don't do that. They leave a body behind. I'm like...a part of someone else.

[Roxas isn't sure he's explaining it very well.]

Sora's from a different time at home. I'm not sure how that works. He's from the time after I've disappeared, lost within him I guess. I'm weird for a Nobody too. I was different from the rest of them. I feel things for some reason and I don't remember being Sora at all. I had no memories. So all I remember is the last year and a half, sort of. Bits and pieces.
streetferret: (Bolin: Ummm)

[personal profile] streetferret 2014-05-04 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s, messed up.

[Mako’s starting to get the picture on what a Nobody is and how Roxas isn’t exactly his own person. And that it’s making sense is actually unnerving. Because that should be crazy talk coming out of the kid’s mouth right now.

And of course he hasn’t even the slightest idea on how to address that thanks to being probably the most socially awkward firebender.

Thanks for ruining the little bit of fun Roxas was having, Mako.]


You, uh, don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I was just [Being a nosy idiot.] wondering why you’d be out here. [Where he is, aka: the no fun zone.]
heartismyown: (Gentle Smile)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-05-04 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is.

[Roxas can at least agree with that. It is definitely messed up. At the rest he blinks and exhales a little, kicking one foot idly.]

It's fine. It's not really a secret or anything. I was just watching, that's all.

[He smiles a little. He has more on his mind, but not anything he's willing to talk about. His conversation with Lea is bothering him.]
