[shadowedheart]

[ Oh. So he's going to be like that, is he? ]

I'll have you know I was the fastest kid on the islands.

[brokenlight]

And?

[So what?]

That doesn't mean you'd be able to beat me when it comes to speed.

[shadowedheart]

You sure about that?

[ He miiiight be trying to fight back a grin as he tilts his head. ]

There's such a thing as having too much confidence, you know.

[brokenlight]

I could be saying the same to you, you know.

[A light snicker.]

Might not be strong or real good with magic, but speed is what I excel in.

[shadowedheart]

I guess we'll have to see about that, won't we?

[ Is that a challenge for some day? Maybe. ]

[brokenlight]

Careful I might actually accept that as a challenge.

[Do you want that to happen?]

[shadowedheart]

[ What if he does? ]

If you do, I won't let you back out of it.

[brokenlight]

Same goes for you then, Riku.

[shadowedheart]

Fine by me, Ven.

[brokenlight]

[Another soft laugh and he pats Riku's back before pulling away from him.]

[shadowedheart]

[ Allowing the blond to pull away, Riku lays there with his head lolling to the side and strands of silver falling in front of his face. ]

Going to try and sleep again?

[brokenlight]

[He shakes his head, sitting up and gives him a small smile.]

A little more awake to sleep now, but you should.

[shadowedheart]

[ Coming to roll on his back, Riku brushes those fallen strands of silver out of his face while curiously watching the blond. ]

Heading back then?

[brokenlight]

Maybe.

[Most likely. He doesn't want Snow White to worry.

Ven looks as if he wants to say something else but then just smiles.]

Thank you, Riku.

[shadowedheart]

[ Humming, Riku comes to sit up on his elbows then. ]

Do you want me to walk you back?

[brokenlight]

No, it's fine.

[A hand on his shoulder and he gently pushes him down.]

I can manage it.

[shadowedheart]

[ Gently- carefully, he reaches up to touch that hand on his shoulder pushing him down, even if he allows his head to fall back against the pillows. ]

Are you sure?

[brokenlight]

I'm sure.

[He gives Riku another smile, but it's softer. Gentle.]

Just try to get some sleep, okay?

[shadowedheart]

If you need anything...

[ He's here. ]

[brokenlight]

I know.

[A pat on his shoulder.]

Thanks again. And I'll see you around.

[shadowedheart]

Yeah. See you around.

[ Because, he wouldn't mind. ]

[brokenlight]

[And with that, Ventus will quietly leave the blanket fort and the house before anyone else wakes up.]
