he fiddles with his thumbs nervously, not sure how he should go about the presentation, as xion definitely disregarded him altogether after he got through explaining his reasoning behind asking for a loan the first time he attempted to ask.   it’s an item he’s wanted for a little while now (but no one really needs to know the details of how long, exactly, he’s wanted it), and the interior of sora’s heart has been feeling a little gloomy, he thinks; he purchased knickknacks in the past to liven up places (and just because he likes them, in all honesty), and now is definitely no exception.   hopefully ventus will open his ears and be more receptive to the request, however he’s absolutely aware of how silly it might sound, and he’s hesitant to start.   unfortunately, he has to start eventually; wearing a smile on his face, he hopes that’ll ease the rest of the conversation into a more fruitful direction.

❛   look, ven, before you shut me down, let me explain why i think we need it.   ❜   he sticks his tongue out while he digs through the pockets of his pants, struggling because of the cloak in the way, before finally revealing what appears to be a photograph.   ❛   it looks like a palm tree.   it’s perfect, because sora’s home has palm trees.   this place feels so dead, so it’s a nice and warm little splash to decorate.  plus, we always leave our paper towels out on the counter and they get dirty and used faster.   we should be able to save more paper with this.   ❜

❛ oh , yeah ! i’d love to ! ❜ webby chirps , nodding enthusiastically with a sheepish look , ❛ it’s nice to meet you ven ! that’s a cool name you got ... my name’s webbigail. but the name people usually yell is WEBBY ! ❜    

an awkward laugh -- it’s an attempt at humor. something louie was trying to teach her. 

“ how much longing should we see snowing down to have the days of spring, friend? ”

               she finds herself a near constant presence by his bedside, waiting with anxious breath for him to wake, to come to his senses. “ventus, lets go get breakfast. i’ll make you some pancakes.” she’s tried everything---from sweets to stories, to sitting silently by his bed while he slept, only to wake up with her head on the sheets in the morning. she hasn’t been to her room since he arrived, only to change clothes and take a shower.
