[ SIGH. ]

Try not to be too stupid about it.

[innermonologues]

A task that sound easier than it is.

[shadowedheart]

Yeah, well, at least you can't say I didn't give you some friendly advice.

[innermonologues]

Yeah, I suppose coming from you that was rather friendly.

[ Squall snorts softly in reply. ]

[shadowedheart]

[ Don't think this means anything, Squall. This is just being civil and all. ]

That all you came here for?

[innermonologues]

Mmm?

[ Squall titled his head a little then gave him a small nod. ]

To thank you for your help.

[shadowedheart]

Right.

[ And that... seems to be done? ]

[innermonologues]

[ There was a small pause before Squall lowered his head. It was really embarrassing to actually look at Riku right now. ]

So yeah...

[shadowedheart]

[ ... ]

There something else you want?

[innermonologues]

[ he sighs, rubbing at his neck with his free hand. ]

It's nothing.

[shadowedheart]

[ ... ]

Might as well just spit it out.

[innermonologues]

[ Uuuuugh. ]

I offer you a truce. For Sora's sake and your own.

[shadowedheart]

What do you mean by a truce?

[innermonologues]

Like an agreement that we both won't go out of our way to tick off the other.

[shadowedheart]

I didn't know I was doing that.

[ Not that he isn't implying Squall's doing that. ]

[innermonologues]

On your part it's... probably mostly on my own side, but that's... not important really.

[shadowedheart]

[ Arms crossing, Riku just stares. ]

You don't bother me and I don't bother you.

[innermonologues]

[ Squall takes a glance at Riku, only to be met with his stare. ]

That doesn't mean I didn't in the past.

[shadowedheart]

No. I mean that's what we do. I stay out of your way, you stay out of mine.

[ This is not them becoming friends. ]

[innermonologues]

[ Friendship is gross. That's Sora's thing anyway. ]

Ah... then that sounds like a good plan.

[shadowedheart]

Yeah.

[ A beat. ]

That it?

[innermonologues]

Yeah... that's it.

[ Honestly, he was expecting this to go a lot worse, so he was genuinely surprised. ]

[shadowedheart]

Alright then.

[ To which he just... stands there. Arms crossed. ]

[innermonologues]

Have a.... decent day then?

[ Squall is too awkward for this kind of stuff. ]

[shadowedheart]

Yeah.

[ And deciding to just leave it at that, Riku turns to go back into his room then. ]
