[Sora hadn't even realized he'd said the name. He hadn't meant to; he'd been trying to keep it vague but looks like he'd mucked that up.

He doesn't respond for a long moment, mulling over if he wants to delve into the details of it--debating with himself on if he wants to tell the truth or not.

When he does finally respond his voice is much softer than it was before and he sounds very tired all of a sudden.]

...Riku. He..he's my best friend.

[And then even quieter.]

I almost lost him. He and Kairi both.

[rattlingthestars]

Pretty scary story.

[ The confirmation and the tone of Sora's voice hurt, a little, and Jim wonders if he'd done the right thing in calling it out at all. He wants to set it right, but he's not any of his friend that are good at this kind of thing.

Still. he did set all this off, so: ]

Do you want to talk about it?

[seekthelight]

It's...it could have been worse.

[A lot worse. At least he'd been able to save Riku and Kairi both. And then they had ended up saving him in return.]

I don't really know what to say. I mean, Riku's okay now. He's a Keyblade Master like me so it's okay I just...

[He still had nightmares about it. The what ifs still haunted him.]

[rattlingthestars]

Just because it's over doesn't mean it's okay.

[ Jim's not going to push Sora too hard - he understands wanting to put things away and not deal with them anymore - but there's still trouble in his voice and he doesn't want to leave it alone. ]

[seekthelight]

I know.

[It comes out softly, Sora going silent for a moment after the fact. Would it ever be okay? He wasn't really sure.]

What matters is that Riku's alive. And so is Kairi. That's..that's what matters the most.

[rattlingthestars]

Well.

[ Jim casts around for something to say, and comes up short. ]

Good. But if you ever want to talk about the stuff that's not okay...

[seekthelight]

...Thank you, Jim.

[It comes out softly after a moment of silence.]

I appreciate it. A lot.
