► seventh sketch [Video]

[memorychains]

[The feed cuts on to Naminé still looking a little drowsy, propping herself with an arm. She must be holding the gear with her other hand.]

What day... hn...

[There's a pause as she mentally calculates how long she's been out of it. To those who know her, her eyes seem visibly sadder.]

I'm... sorry if I worried anyone. I'm alright now. I think I fell asleep like what happened with the others. And--

[She abruptly stops when her eyes rove around though. For those who last remember though, she had four sketches on the wall. Her grip slackens a little, which allows the camera to show what caught her attention. There's another sketch that has been added to it. She blinks and runs a hand along it, staring, before her face breaks out into a soft smile.]

[She's silent for a moment, studying him carefully. Should she tell him or...?

No, some things are better left unsaid.]

Painful memories.

[It was part of the truth, at least, if not the entire truth. She just chose to omit details.]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

No. I'm just not used to it.

[... creeper. Your so called concern for me before was for your own purposes X(]

[Are you kidding, you're like, Ms. Powerhouse.]

I know but... I feel so helpless all the time.

[Hareraisers can kill me, okay.]

If you want, I could show you some of the exercises our Master used to teach us. They're pretty basic, but... You don't need magic or a weapon to use them.

[... I never encounter that problem, even in Critical.

She looks up at that, before her eyes go down to the floor again.]

I... no, I'm... not a Keyblade wielder... unlike the others...

[I had to level her to five before I could even take her out of the castle. :| Bruisers, man. Bruisers.

But you are my friend.

[... lil' sis. :c]

You don't have to have a Keyblade to want to protect yourself.

[sighs, smiling]

Besides, having one or not doesn't really matter here.
