More like my whole life. [you know. until recently. he doesn't mind the teasing because he also makes fun of himself, sometimes, for being an islander through and through. there's something in his face that's relaxed and maybe just a little sad, but he doesn't shy away from it.]
See that part over there? [he points to the small part of the island toward their left, the piece attached via a bridge as it sticks out into the water.] We used to spend a lot of time sitting on that tree watching the sun set. The three of us. Riku spent the most time there though. That's where we sparred a lot, too.
[he points toward the left and back around the part of the island he couldn't generate because it's too large.] There's this obstacle course around the other side of the island that we built. Sometimes we'd have races across the beach and Kairi would always have to judge who the winner was. There're some caves back there, too, but they don't have anything interesting except mushrooms. Not like the Secret Place.
[which is behind them, given how he points toward a space by a natural waterwall in the face of the rocks behind them.] ...Riku, Kairi and I have been coming to this island since we were really little. It doesn't feel right to stop just because a lot of things have changed.
[ she listens easily enough, watching him explain what his life was like. her expression is soft, and maybe a little envious. it sounds nice. idealistic. the kind of childhood kids should have. ]
Seems like a place full of memories. [ she says, glancing at him. ] You really do love the two of them, don't you.
...I know the worlds needed our help, and that I had a responsibility as a Keyblade wielder. And I know that if we didn't stop Xehanort and if we didn't help all of those people, everything would have gone wrong. [a beat.] But all I ever wanted to do was get all of us home again. They mean everything to me.
...thanks. [he doesn't think he has to specify that he won't let her forget taako or anything because to him it's obvious. he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she remembers the most important things.
it's the better route.
there's a lingering bit of silence then as he seems to think of what to say next.]
...I don't want them to forget about me either. [he's confident that they won't because the three of them have always been connected, but it's more of an idle thought than anything.]
Yeah. I know that's true, even if other people don't believe it. Sometimes...the heart's weak, but it never gives up on the things that really matter. It's why I'm sure you and Taako could never really forget each other.

for a second, she just stares out at the beach, nudging the sand with her feet, and then she turns to sora. ]
Even if they do - wasn't it you who was talking about the heart never forgetting? Don't lose your sappy edge now.

Do you wanna just hang in here for a while? I like this, uh - so much better.

...I'd like that. It's really nice to see it again. [even if it's not really real.]
