Grouchy Roxas is grouchy

[thirteenth_brat]

Who: Roxas, Ash, Jenn, Aerith, Sora, Kairi, Aria, Pancake, Cloud, Riku, Rox and others as they arrive...
What: Roxas needs to vent. The Maw and any monsters in it are usually good for that. Well, okay, he took a monster hunt and left earlier than he planned to for it since he was ready to bust some heads, okay?
When: Saturday evening
Where: The Great Maw and its surrounding areas
Status: Ongoing
Notes: Can this log not die like the rest? *puppy dog eyes* Posting order... uh, order of appearance and some skipping may happen just to keep the log from dying. 8|



Roxas grumbled and cursed under his breath as he headed out. It wasn't that he didn't understand why they were upset. What was getting under his skin this time was that they were acting like he'd said he was going to run out and kill Josiah as soon as he could. Had they even read the whole entry? He didn't like the idea either, but they really had to consider the possibility. At least a few people had been civil about their disagreement, but some of them...

He paused near the Crystal Fissure and surveyed the surroundings. This was where they'd fought that White Mousse. All reports had indicated that there were plenty of Flan type monsters still hanging around there. Not surprisingly, he had seen a few on the way there, but they seemed to ignore him for the most part. He was headed further out anyway.

The Great Maw was not exactly empty, but there were a few monsters hanging around. In truth, he wasn't heading out here expressly to vent. He'd taken up a monster hunt and was just annoyed enough to head out earlier than he'd originally planned. It was nothing special. The guy just wanted some Ose pelts and those monsters frequented the Maw along with other Coeurl relatives. Not surprisingly, he did find at least one of the monster he was looking for right away. That was helpful and it lightened his mood a little. Now if he could kill it without getting too much blood on the pelt, he might be off to a good start...

Why did he have a nagging feeling that he wasn't alone, though?

Aria was in the maw looking for Pancake. She had been taking a walk with the dream hare when it spotted Sora and run after him. Apparently it had taken a liking to him.

She could see Sora up ahead with the dream hare not far behind him. Pancake seemed to be holding something shiny. Aria wondered why she hadn't noticed it before as she ran after them.

Roxas noticed Sora first, then Pancake. The Dream Hare held... something. Roxas didn't really care what the little klepto had as long as it wasn't his. Aria wasn't far behind. Lovely, two people who might try to hug him were approaching and he couldn't very well just run away.

Instead, he sighed and turned back to scanning the area. He'd lost sight of the monster he'd been looking for and wished he'd picked a different day to try this hunt.

Sora ran up to Roxas, but didn't meet his eyes right away. Instead, he also began scanning the area, though he wasn't quite sure what they were looking for. So rather than make a big fuss about it, he put his hands behind his head and glanced up towards the sky.

"I guess it'll never get easier, huh," he said with a small grin.

Kairi had gone on a walk to clear her head, trying not to think too much on the weeks before once again. Noticing people headed for the maw, she had followed until noticing both Sora and Roxas up ahead before sprinting towards them.

Roxas wasn't angry with Sora. He was one of the few who hadn't gone on the offensive right away in response to the last post. That was greatly appreciated.

"I guess not," Roxas replied, "Then again, it might get boring if things got too easy."

The grin widened. "Yeah."

He lowered his arms only to cross them, tilting his head to the side but still not looking at Roxas. "Y'know, we've been kinda lucky. Everything that's happened so far has always turned out for the better." The keyblade master put his hand over his heart, and closed his eyes. "I believe that even now - especially now - that all we have to do is fight, and the light will always be there for us."

He turned a bright smile to Roxas, holding out his hand. In it was dangling a keychain, a tiny chakram, given to him months ago by Roxas' best friend. "Here, take it. So you can remember that we're always fighting so that we can be with our friends."

Roxas really had no clue what to say. He could only look at the Keychain and accept it and wonder if he'd be able to jump start his brain to say something.

After a few moments, he gave up on saying anything truly intelligent. What he did say, while maybe not what one ought to say when given a something like that, was still said with great affection. "You sap.

Unfortunately, this cute little brotherly moment had to be interrupted as they heard a shriek and then distinctive 'Oof' of someone running into someone else. The monster following her merited far more attention, however.

"Damn it."
