Crow was pretty excited here...he finally got to fly around the SOL on his own, like a real crow! And now that he and everyone else had turned into weird battle monsters, or 'Pokemon' as Harvey had said, there was sure to be a whole bunch of fun fights that he could watch! ...And perhaps, participate in, if he was feeling up to it. He could definitely kick Servo’s butt in these kinds of battles, anyway.

So, he had staked himself out in the rafters near the top of the recreation deck, holding a small prop microphone in his claws. If there was one thing he excelled at, it was hilarious commentary!

“Allllllrighty, let’s see who’s gonna come out on top on this week’s colorful battle monster tournament of PAIN!”

Sparring was fun, of course. Sparring when they had new abilities all of a sudden might prove interesting. Roxas just wasn't sure who he wanted to spar with.

Right at that moment, though, he was looking for Riku because he was still mildly irked about the week before. Collective dream or mass hallucination or whatever it was, Riku had been very annoying and Roxas hadn't forgotten that. Nor had he forgotten that he'd demanded a serious talk when the week was over. The fact that they were suddenly bizarrely cute battling monsters wasn't going to deter him, though he did wonder how exactly to open such a discussion...

The moment Riku caught sight of the little eevee he averted his eyes a moment. This was the first time he'd seen Roxas in person since the week prior with all of its... Eccentricities. The spike on his chest rose with a deep breath and sank with a sigh, at which point he looked back at the fluffy creature. His expression even, he gave Roxas a nod.

And he waited for Roxas to lay into him not with some special attack, but with words.

Roxas still really wasn't sure what he wanted to say. What he had about needing to have a serious talk had been said before they'd discovered that they'd all been drugged. On one end of it, everything had been a dream. On the other hand, they all remembered what had happened. Things had been said and done that still had an emotional impact at least and emotions counted for quite a bit. Not unlike the digital Twilight Town in that regard...

The blond little fluffball sighed. Could this get anymore awkward? The only thing he had left to say to Riku out of everything that he'd been thinking of saying since this incident would sound like whining. Then again, maybe it'd lead into a good argument that would feel like nothing too weird had ever happened.

"You were a pain in the butt last week, you know."

It was a lame start, but at least it was a start.

Had Riku been able to hear that internal monologue, he would have found it very interesting from what kind of person it came from.

His ears turned back a little as he averted his gaze to Roxas's feet... Or paws, rather. His own paw went to his hip as he habitually tried to slide a thumb into a pocket that didn't exist. He settled for putting his paw on his hip. Riku's voice sounded heavy with either guilt or embarrassment. Possibly both.

"I know."

It wasn't much of a reply, but it was all he had.

Roxas sighed. It was kind of hard to stay annoyed about it when it really hadn't been Riku's fault. At least, he couldn't stay annoyed with Riku about it.

"I guess things could have been worse."

That was something Riku could be thankful for.

"At least it wasn't. I didn't get everything."

Roxas smirked as a thought occurred to him. He kind of wished he'd seen some of what had happened when Riku had taken some of the red items. It might have been amusing, though he supposed he wouldn't have found it so amusing if Riku had gotten his jacket. As it was, the ghost thing was bad enough. Why in the hell he'd hallucinated the ghost of a fan girl of someone popular, he didn't want to know.

Still, no one's behavior last week was entirely their fault.

"Did everyone get their stuff back?" He was teasing a little bit with that question. The idea of Riku being terrified of a color to the point where he felt he needed to protect everyone from it had its amusing points.

Wilykit watched as Riku and Roxas stared each other down (or whatever Riku was doing with that blindfold on, anyway), obviously ill at ease with each other. Tension from unresolved issues radiated between the two of them, so whatever was going on, it was probably personal.

Not that it stopped Wilykit from neatly leaping right into the middle of it in an attempt at breaking the awkward silence.

"What's the blindfold for?" she asked, waving a paw in Riku's line of sight (being too small to actually reach his face at the moment).

Riku blinked, though no one could see that, at Wilykit. He looked down at her as if he weren't wearing anything at all, and smirked a little with a shrug. "Mostly to show off." At least he was honest. "Back home I had the power of darkness. I could see when it was pitch black. I needed to hide my eyes, so I wore one of these without any handicaps. Now I can sense people by detecting their auras."

Little did Riku realize that he had just given Wilykit plenty of new questions to pester him about.

"Really? Cool! How did that work? And why'd you have to hide your eyes? Did the light hurt them or something?"

...Yeah, she was probably going to be at this for a while.

The smirk slowly faded from Riku's face as he looked down at her. Even in this form he was still taller. His expression grew somber, as did his tone.

Though Riku didn't know the answer to the first question, he also didn't attempt to reply to it. His reply came simply, softly, and with a deep tone. He looked up at nothing in particular.

"My eyes couldn't lie."

Likewise, Wilykit lost her cheerfully curious grin as she saw Riku's grim expression. Was whatever happened really that bad?

Kit opened her mouth to ask Riku what exactly he meant about his eyes not being able to lie, but thought better of it. Whatever it was, it was obviously a very painful memory for him. Instead, she just gave a quiet little "Oh..." in response.
