[Cold. Overcast. It's a stark contrast to the warmth and rays that Terra had felt not too long ago, and he frowns at the skies like they'll tell him what's going on. No Keyblade, no clothes, no items ... and no memories of how he ended up here.

And that was without taking those strange wings into account.

He walks through the wet grass, pausing long enough to scoop up a book that barely sticks out against the tall grasses. He flips it open, scanning. Little boxes, little switches and buttons... He pushes a few of the buttons experimentally.]

Odd book. Doesn't look like a command board... Huh.

...Not the time for this.

[With a shrug, he snaps the journal shut, not aware that it had recorded what he was saying.

By the time he opens the journal again, he'll have made his way to the dd New Feather watch station. Somewhere fairly safe where he can dig up some ~~ill-fitting~~ clothes for himself.

He'll give the journal a second look now that he's at least found some shelter.]

That's... [He trails off, unsure how to deal with that information. Time didn't pass? Maybe he should be relieved, since he was in the middle of a mission.]

Sure, show me this guide. [...The longer he stares at this kid, the stronger that feeling gets. And with this information about time not passing..]

Here (http://wise-maiden.livejournal.com/24338.html). Might take some time to read through it, but it's worth it.

[At this point, it's kind of hard to play ignorant, so let's see if he catches on.]

And if you've still got any questions, I'll see what I can do... Terra.

Thanks. [He gets the word of gratitude out before he hears the kid say his name, and then there's a long moment of silence.]

...So I wasn't just imagining it. It's you.

I was starting to wonder if you'd catch on.

I didn't want to jump to conclusions. [...Even if he usually does.] You look different from the last time I saw you.

It's been a while. About ten years on my end.

[Ten years? If Terra was the type, he would have whistled at the long passage of time there.] It's good to see you're doing well. [And there we go, jumping to conclusions.] Riku.

[Heh. He doesn't mind, at least; how's Terra supposed to know what he's been through over the past few months?]

As well as I can be, anyway. A lot's happened since I met you.

[...Well. That sounds sorta foreboding.]

You'll have to tell me about it.

Tell you what. Once you get back to the village, we could meet up somewhere. Doesn't have to be right away, but I don't have anything better to do right now.

[Hmm. Though, there is one thing he should address...]

Oh yeah. I never did tell anyone about that secret.

[Despite the situation and his own confusion, Terra manages something resembling a grin at Riku's last comment.] Good to hear. That's part of the magic.

I think we'll have a lot to talk about.

Yeah. We've got a lot of catching up to do. Just don't be too surprised when you see me.

I'll try. [He might inwardly be amused by the teasing tone. The kid's really grown up.]

Good. I might not be a kid anymore, but it's still me. I'm just stronger now.
