[The handwriting is a little sloppy, as if this was jotted down in a hurry.]

Hey Spades--

Found some stragglers. I'm bringing them back to the ship.

[Private to Sora:]

Heads up...one of them is Roxas.

Something like that. There's this guy who answers one question a week, so it's kind of a matter of making sure you get there first if you want to ask something important. I've never talked to him. ...Her. I think we recently found out it's a woman. But anyway. We could try asking her what happens when people up and vanish.

Sounds like a plan. Heh, look at us making plans. I feel more responsible already.

[It gives him a bit of direction, too. Not going to turn that down.]

[Grins a little.]

She might give you some backwards, utterly unhelpful answer, but it's worth a shot. And hopefully she shows up again before we get swept up in some other crazy thing. It's really easy to get distracted in this place.

Oh really? Losing your focus? No wonder you haven't figured out a way to get home yet. Playing pirates is just toooo much fun.

[Not that he's not thinking that maybe he needs a badass pirate outfit himself, but he's not going to tell Riku that.]

Sure, fun. Especially when entire naval fleets are trying to kill us, or did you forget about that already? Not everyone who ends up here can fight like us or summon chakrams out of thin air.

[AKA it isn't all fun and games.

...Just mostly. >.>]

What? That wasn't even the fun part? No wonder you're distracted.

[He pushes off the rail and stretches.]

Guess it'll be up to me to keep an eye on you kids.

[Raises an eyebrow, then grins a bit.]

...Maybe that was a little fun. But still, we can't take them too lightly. They captured some of the crew awhile back.

[Slight pause.]

Not me, though. You really don't need to keep an eye on me.

Oh really? Seems to me you get yourself in just as much trouble.

[Sure, Riku is probably right, but there's no reason to let him know that.]

Yeah, but then I get myself out of it!

[...Kind of. Maybe—

Okay, no.

Not alone, he doesn't.

~~Because "alone" is not how people do anything in Kingdom Hearts. 8D~~

A disgruntled kind of pout settles on his face.]

...Alright, fine. Never mind. Shut up -- you're going to have your hands full with Roxas anyway, aren't you?

[Okay, so Lea can't help but laugh at that face a little.]

Yeah, but you say that like it's not going to end up being Roxas and Sora and then you getting wrapped up in whatever they get into. I'm lucky Kairi has some sense.

[Of course, if they've been here a while...]

Unless you guys have collected more friends to get into trouble with.

...Kairi's the only one of us who ever had any sense.

[Because the rest of that was probably exactly what would happen. He gives a pained sigh.]

When does Sora ever not collect more friends?

It is kind of what he does, huh? Well, great. I'm gonna have gray hair by the time I get home.

[At least no one was dumb enough to let Sora be captain of a boat or anything like that.]

Please tell me at least some of the new crowd have half a brain.

On the bright side, I hear gray hair is in right now.

[Grins a little, then he shrugs.]

Yeah, most of them, actually. And some of them were already pirates, so at least they know how to handle a ship this size.

[Lea's brow furrows.]

So basically saying he's made friends with the whole crew. Well, I'm not looking out for all of you. That's what we have a captain for.

[He waves his hand dismissively. Whether or not he listens to that guy is going to depend on whether or not he wants to.]

Don't worry, they don't all need a babysitter. Some might need more help than others, but everyone is learning how to handle themselves. You'll probably see how everyone shapes up pretty quickly, actually, we can't ever seem to leave islands quietly.

Never a dull moment, huh? Well, I guess I have a lot to look forward to.

[And a lot to keep Roxas out of.]
