[he might not know what that all means, but he can attempt to understand]

He didn't go with ya that time, huh?

[heartismyown]

No, I was leaving because of him. I know that much. The rest of the argument we had, neither one of us can remember it. I know it was important. Then I'm missing some time there...

[He should probably back up.]

I don't remember things very well. It's been like that since I appeared, only I think it got better and then it got worse after some people manipulated my memories.

[youhearthebells]

[he winces appropriately] Oooh, ouch. Gotcha. So when you talk about not rememberin' stuff, you really don't. I see.

That's pretty awful.

[heartismyown]

Yeah, I know. It's kinda...well I have to really try to remember things so lots of things I don't think about so I don't remember them. It's okay, I'll get it eventually it just takes me time that's all. Sometimes people get upset so I figured I should tell you now.

[youhearthebells]

Got it. Good to know.

[he'll be as understanding as a tough-guy pirate captain general can be]

Don't sweat it.

[heartismyown]

Thanks. [He smiles a little]

Well I can't really fix it anyway. If I could fix it, it would be fixed by now.

[youhearthebells]

Yeah, kinda figured. Oh well, as long as I don't need ya to memorize complicated strategies, I think we're both good.

[he doesn't even memorize complicated strategies. No worries there]

[heartismyown]

What strategies?

[Pfft. His plan is always whack things with a keyblade.]

[youhearthebells]

I dunno! I'm not a strategist, that was always Lu Meng and he ain't here so.

Right now the strategy is Go Places and Do Things. And hell, we don't need more money so we can just have fun.

[heartismyown]

[He can't help but brighten a little more.]

I really want to have fun here. I was having fun before and I still want that before I disappear.

[youhearthebells]

[Disa....no, he's not going to ask. Not gonna ruin the mood. Later.]

Well, we're gonna have a lot of fun, then! I mean, we're lookin' for this island that supposed to be made of sweets, 'cause Gaius wants to go. And then, who knows? I kinda wanna see if what the Dog said about islands in the clouds is for real. How's that sound?

[heartismyown]

Oh! Candy! [Yes, this is the best news ever. He and Gaius knew each other before. Because of Roxas' love of ice cream.]

[youhearthebells]

Heh! So that's another vote for the Candy Island. All right, then, we'll stay the course and head north and find it. See? That ain't hard.

[heartismyown]

[He can't help but be excited.]

I love candy, it's so good!

[youhearthebells]

We'll let ya get your fill, then. You and Gaius can eat your way across the island. We'll make a party out of it, eh?

[heartismyown]

You have parties too? Are they fun? Do you like them? I've watched some! I only was at, um, my birthday party. A pink pony made it for me.

[youhearthebells]

A pink pony? Whaaat?

Sure, of course we party! We had a little bit of one on that Alepell...whatever it's called. Some island. We'll have more parties, it keeps morale up.

[heartismyown]

You know. A pony. That's pink. She said everyone had to have a birthday so she made mine in January and it was really fun. I didn't have a birthday before, that was my first one. I got some presents and sea salt ice cream cake.

[youhearthebells]

...well, we got turtles and whatever Lisa is, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised about a pink pony.

I'll make sure we get more parties than just waitin' for your birthday. [knowing him, there will be plenty of booze]

[heartismyown]

[Lea won't let him drink again after last time and trying to pet Lea.]

It's okay, my birthday was really fun. I usually watch anyway.

[youhearthebells]

Wallflower, eh? No worries. I got that covered, too.

[heartismyown]

What's a wallflower?

[He tilts his head a little quizzically. It isn't so much that he doesn't want to talk to people or that he's too anxious, he just doesn't know what to do.]

[youhearthebells]

Somebody who hangs out at the fringe of the party and doesn't wanna get too thick into it. It ain't an insult - some of my favorite guys back home are wallflowers, really.

[heartismyown]

Oh yeah, I guess so!

[Roxas smiles, nodding a bit. He has the kind of personality that would be great at a party, but he hasn't quite bridged the gap between him and people in that situation yet.]

It'd be okay, I guess. I could try it.

[youhearthebells]

That's the spirit!

[he is more than intent to have some kind of party, now, before or after they reach Candy Island. All the better to welcome new crew, right?

...maybe after they come to terms with losing Donatello, though.]
