[Oh, hey. Looks like somebody's figured out how to work the watch because there's a shot of this silver-haired teen. He grins at the camera, before leaning back against the edge of one of the buildings.]

So, I'm looking for a dork with spiky hair and ridiculous, yellow shoes. Kind of dense, goes by Sora. Chances here, he's lost. Sora never was the best with directions. And in a place like this, he could use all the help he could get.

So if any of you have seen him, do me a favor and point me in the right direction. Somebody's gotta keep an eye on him, after all.

Oh yeah, and anyone got any suggestions on places to scope out? This city's huge, and I've barely scratched the surface so far.

You're saying that like I hadn't found my way off the islands before coming here... and I did. All I had to do was open the door.

And even if I didn't choose to come here, I can't really complain. It sure beats the last world I was in.

[For a moment he really just wants to sigh, to end the discussion with "Whatever.", but. It wouldn't be doing him any favors.

The kid doesn't know. He couldn't, not yet. He has no idea what the worlds are really like, that he isn't a big player anymore. That he will be easily played and used as a pawn if he isn't careful.

Besides...]

...Yeah. I guess, I can vouch for that.

[He had needed to become stronger, he had found the strength that he had needed. Even though over some detours.

...He just hopes he can spare his mini-self some of those detours... and still knock some more sense into him somehow.]

...I didn't shrink, if that what you are wondering.

[...Him-he didn't at least.]

I haven't seen Sora around, but if you'd like I can show you around the shopping district. You'll probably want to pick up some new things for your apartment soon anyways.

...Hah. And here I thought you'd want to hold me back.

[Please pardon the tinge of resentment in his voice. Someone's not all to pleased with his older self's attitude.

Sigh.]

Hey, anything's better than getting scolded by that older "me".

Besides, you've got a point.

[All he really has is a couple of potions, his sword, and his clothes. Not exactly the right gear for living in a huge city.]

[Another snort.]

The only thing holding you back is yourself.

[Funny. The feeling is mutual. >.>

...Even though he is. Really trying to keep any personal feelings about himself in that time period out of it. It's just. Very hard.]

What door? [He'll let you explain what you meant by that. As his apprentice, he owes you the benefit of the doubt.

But that doesn't stop the slightly ominous feeling he got by that phrase he got, or the feeling of familiarity.]

It was this weird door in a cave back home. Had this Keyhole on the front, but no knob or handle.

I thought, before we set sail, I should at least try and open it. To see what's inside. Turns out that's all I needed to get to the outside world.

Please. Why would I hold myself back?

[Unless he means that he's holding him back because, hey. He'd believe it.]

[Well, some good-natured laughing can be heard for a bit, before he he replies again.] If my guess is right, he'll take the lesson better from me than he would from anyone else. It might actually stick.

[Just guessing, but it's educated enough that there's a good chance that he's right.]

[You're just getting a face because she sees you there Masterku. Why you gotta do this to the bitty 8T]

[Oh shit, oh shit, damage control!

He's even using voice and is sounding... kind of quiet and cringe-ish.]

...I didn't know what it what it would do at the time. I didn't find out the consequences of it until a long while later. Until after things were restored again.

Sora's here and quite safe, don't worry.

[Hey. He is not doing anything. >.>]

...What's that look for?

...He's also older than I expected.

[Sigh. Kairi, look at your poor, disgruntled, mini-biffle.]

That other me even pointed out how much stronger he's supposed to be.

You're being very mean to him, you know.

... I thought as much. [His tone is... quiet. Serious.] There wasn't anyone around to teach you what it would do; what doors like that are protecting.

... I'm sorry. [Because he should've been there, and... you know why he wasn't there. And it could've gone different, if he hadn't been so stupid and given Xehanort just the opening he was looking for.]

...You are probably right about that.

[He had (and still does) looked up to Terra, to the man from the Outside world. Any lesson from him would more than just 'stick']

We should keep him from fighting with Sora for a while.

[Nevermind himself.]

Yeah, I imagine it's probably a big shock for you.

Sorry that Riku is being a big dumb jerk to you-- [srry masterku] -- but you gotta imagine this is just as weird for him as it is for you, and he probably doesn't really know what to say. And you gotta remember, Sora is only stronger than you right now because he's practiced a lot over the years-- you can be just as strong if you put your mind to it.

That still doesn't give him an excuse to act all high and mighty. Just because he's older than me doesn't make him better, and lording everything over me is hardly gonna win him any points.

And he's being so vague, too.

[...Yeah, he's just gonna. Seethe a bit.]

[He sighs frustratedly.]

I know, I know... I'm trying, but-

[He shakes his head.]

He doesn't exactly make it easy.

[... Locking this. He's... ... angry. And horrified. And saddened, and feeling guilty because there's no way Riku knew what he did and what he was about to reveal was only going to hurt. So he has to try and be patient, and not use a Light Corridor to Riku's location, smack him on the back of the head, and lecture him the way Master would have done with himself.] You should not have done that. That door wasn't your 'ticket' off your world. It protected something very important.

[All Keyholes do.]

I agree, his rudeness is very out of line. But you gotta admit, Riku, that maybe you weren't helping the situation too much with your responses?

[Said in the calmest way possible with an attempt to be equally nice to both sides]

Well, what else was I supposed to do? Just sit there and nod?

[Grumblegrumble.]
