I was a bandit for 500 years, Riku. Humans want to see a "bad wizard" get locked up.

[Fucked up Figaro didn't end up in jail.]

[A heavy sigh! Because he has no argument against anything Bradley is telling him.]

Still. Your friend...

That's what it's like to live in North. The landscape is hostile.

He was brave and stubborn. Stuck with his beliefs til the end.

[Just going to frown.]

Were you sad...?

[He trusted me.]

Of course I was.

It... wasn't... your fault.

[Maybe it was. It just feels like the right thing to say.]

I'm sorry.

[...Wasn't it? Bradley let that man rely on him, he let him put all his faith in him. And what happened? Bradley got captured and put in jail. The rest of the bandits dissolved around him, and Gorman stayed because he was still loyal to Bradley. But he can't go saying he was stupid for that, Gorman made his choice.

And Riku will make his.

He reaches out and ruffles Riku's hair. Just to lighten the atmosphere, just a little bit.]


Listen. I can't stop ya from doing whatever yer set on. I know a stubborn asshole when I see one.

But I'll do whatever I can to get ya back to yourself 'nd to yer buddies back home.

[Mmmphh. Embarrassed, he looks to the side while reaching up to try to fix his hair. Hilariously, it doesn't mess up as badly as it does if ruffled after he got it whacked off.]

I know... I trust you.

[ A warm, fond laugh as Riku fixes it up. ]

I'll make sure it ain't misplaced.

[Yeah. Don't let him end up like your friend. (Please do that, it'd be funny.)]

It won't be if you listen to your heart.

[ No!!! ]

My heart? [ Slight amusement. ] That's how wizards use magic. Don't gotta worry about that.

[...

Oh.]


...It's how we wield keyblades.

[ keyblade? ]

Is that what Way to the Dawn is?

[LAOIFJI I'M LOSING IT. HELLO? THAT'S COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.]

Yeah. Soul Eater technically. [i don't know why he keeps calling it soul eater but w/e squarenix] It's a keyblade.

[Sometimes you pour your feelings into a key!!

Why's it named something different on your ID?]


They all named somethin' special?

I don't know.

[He shakes his head.]

They just... I guess your heart just knows its name. What it wants to be called.

Little different than findin' magic words.

We gotta find the ones that works fer us.

Sometimes... you have to find the keyblade that works for you, too.

But usually your heart knows the keyblade your destined to wield.

Are they just lying around or somethin'?
